29:57 – After bringing in the sheaves throughout seven years of plenty, during the following lean years Joseph gradually releases surplus grain from the Strategic Corn Reserves. Word reaches famine-stricken Canaan that Egypt has plenty of food, so Jacob sends ten of his sons there to buy some, where they fail to recognize Joseph as their long-lost brother. He recognizes them, but he doesn’t let on. Instead he accuses them of being spies, frames them for theft, lets them cool their heels in jail for a few days, then releases nine of them but holds one hostage until they return with their other brother, Benjamin. Paybacks are hell.

29:54 – Joseph’s brothers get tired of him tattling on him, so they sell him into slavery, where he must resist the persistent advances of his master’s promiscuous wife. The aptly-named Onan commits a capital offense by practicing the coitus interruptus method of birth control. The widow Tamar plays the harlot, and Judah gets his former daughter-in-law pregnant. There’s not much here about ancient alien astronauts, but it’s pretty hot stuff, so give it a listen anyway.

30:33 – Jacob’s sons play a dirty trick involving circumcision, and Jacob is outraged, though not in any moral sense. Accepting Yahwelian protection, Jacob banishes any other gods, real or imagined, and builds an altar to the Yahwelians. El Sadday, the Almighty God, appears to Jacob and renames him Israel before beaming back up. The lineage of Esau culminates in the dukes and kings of Edom. Who were these Edomites, and if they were a different race than the Israelites, how did that happen, since both groups sprang from the same pair of twins? Inquiring minds want to know.
