Canaan was a progenitor of Phoenicians who instead lived on the sea coast in Palestine. Esau took his wives from that people. <br /><br />There is something even deeper going on here with this curse. <br />--Jenna Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817348519203352250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-42067692170976390952017-03-14T09:31:22.652+00:002017-03-14T09:31:22.652+00:00:0D

When taking a shower my brain seems to be more efficient and more active while it almost stops thinking if I am bathing (If I am not disturbed which rarely happens with an absent-minded husband and two kids. Last time the whole family was in the bathroom because we also don't lock the door when we bathe and the 4 year old was running and dancing in there. I had to tell them to get the heck out of there the nicest way possible). <br /><br />I prefer showers because my brain is more likely to get stuck than need to be quiet and the showers don't just make me clean, they also allow my brain to release itself. My husband is the other way around and almost only take baths. <br /><br />I think it is weird for my husband sometimes when I come out of the shower a changed person because now I have reached some insight he never expeccted.

Whilst I ponder many things in the ...Thank you :-)<br /><br />Whilst I ponder many things in the bath, this has never been one of them! I like your conclusion, though. Once upon a time I discovered Leviticus 19:14 where it says,'do not curse the deaf.' I liked that for the same reason. It's about having respect for the vulnerable.<br /><br />Of course, the idea reaches its climax in the crucifixion, when Jesus himself is exposed to the world - and ridiculed for it. Apparently, this disqualified him from being a son of God once and for all. Except it didn't.<br /><br />And, one day, not so long ago, when I was pondering that in the bath, it occurred to me that clothes are recurring theme in the Bible, right from Adam and Eve through to Revelation. In fact, in Jesus' parable of the lost son, among the first things the father says when he returns is, 'bring the best robe and put it on him...'<br /><br />Such a special, gentle, love, to cover his son's 'nakedness' with honour and respect when he least deserves it... <br /><br />We have an amazing God!Rosnoreply@blogger.com
