Kenny and I are spending our car time listening to Brian at www.dailyaudiobible.com
It’s a great way to listen to the Bible with music and emotion. It really makes things real. So, we’re finishing up Genesis and Brian is getting to Joseph (who looks Egyptian) revealing his true identity to his brothers (who are so -not- Egyptian). I was in Joseph in high school and have been in church since my sixth week (I was born on a Sunday, so I really was six weeks old). I know Genesis pretty well. But I did not know that Joseph and his brothers got smashed after their big reunion/hug and cryfest. I can’t find it in my Bible (New International Version) but Brian read it (“got drunk” was how he put it), so it must be in there somewhere.
Now I knew that Esther’s Xerxes was a lush (he’s the guy who, if making a decision while accidentally sober would get drunk just to make the decision again). But Joseph? Come on.
Can anyone confirm this for me?
