genesis 34 + day 5 = the weekend!


well since it's the weekend i will go easy, as i am not hating life quiet as much at the moment. i can be a very irritable prick sometimes, i'm not all that sure of how my wife deals with my mood swings, but she does so wonderfully. now in case you just so happen to think that your job sucks, you can feel free to take mine. i go to work at 3pm and work in a warehouse till midnight, then i hop into a 24 ft bob-tail (truck) and drive to san antonio arrive there at 1:30 unload and pick up freight. then i get back to austin around 3 am and unload my truck. im home by 4am every night. what the fuck am i doing bitching? it's the weekend. i apologize.

well im not gonna leave you hanging so we will jump into the scripture of the day. i quickly found this, as i do with most of the others that i will post. it struck my attention very quickly. i believe that morals were totally different around back in the biblical days. this is a little bit of a lengthy scripture so it will be the only one for this blog. but this scripture really hit me hard.

Genesis 34
1NOW DINAH daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out [unattended] to see the girls of the place.
2And when Shechem son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he seized her, lay with her, and humbled, defiled, and disgraced her.
3But his soul longed for and clung to Dinah daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke comfortingly to her young heart's wishes.
4And Shechem said to his father Hamor, Get me this girl to be my wife.
5Jacob heard that [Shechem] had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field. So Jacob held his peace until they came.
6But Hamor father of Shechem went out to Jacob to have a talk with him.
7When Jacob's sons heard it, they came from the field; and they were distressed and grieved and very angry, for [Shechem] had done a vile thing to Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter, which ought not to be done.
8And Hamor conferred with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem craves your daughter [and sister]. I beg of you give her to him to be his wife.
9And make marriages with us and give your daughters to us and take our daughters to you.
10You shall dwell with us; the country will be open to you; live and trade and get your possessions in it.
11And Shechem said to [Dinah's] father and to her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask of me.
12Ask me ever so much dowry and [marriage] gift, and I will give according to what you tell me; only give me the girl to be my wife.
13The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, [ justifying their intended action by saying, in effect, we are going to do this] because Shechem had defiled and disgraced their sister Dinah.
14They said to them, We cannot do this thing and give our sister to one who is not circumcised, for that would be a reproach and disgrace to us.
15But we do consent to do this: if you will become as we are and every male among you be circumcised,
16Then we will give our daughters to you and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you and become one people.
17But if you will not listen to us and consent to be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.
18Their words pleased Hamor and his son Shechem.
19And the young man did not delay to do the thing, for he delighted in Jacob's daughter. He was honored above all his family [so, ranking first, he acted first].
20Then Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their [enclosed] town and discussed the matter with the citizens, saying,
21These men are peaceable with us; so let them dwell in the land and trade in it; for the land is large enough [for us and] for them; let us take their daughters for wives and let us give them our daughters.


wow, that seems fair. hey you fucked my daughter against her will. she begged you to stop, you could have killed her. you have scarred my beautiful daughter for life! and for that i will kill you! whats that? a deal? ok circumcise yourself. let me become rich. well share a beer over dinner son, and remember daddy loves you. yeah, that bitch dinah's been asking for it anyway wearing her slutty clothes, im glad it was you that raped her, at least i got something out of that worthless bitch.

now if you are still wondering why this passage makes me a little more sick than any other passage in the bible, it's for this fucking reason. are you ready? my parents really really really fucked up on this one, here goes. my name is JACOB! my parents named me after this FUCK! thanks mom and dad!

ok i lied, here is a tiny one! go get me my dinner woman!

genesis 2:21-25
21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
25And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.


and the lord told adam to go fuck himself, and he did and he had 2 kids! seriously, basically adam fucked himself. wtf?

  1. this passage in the bible (like several others) is absurd. basically if a girl is raped and the man loves her, it's completely okay for him to marry her. but not just marry her, compromise/trade to marry her. this is another example of how people gloss over the old testament. they believe in creation and noah's flood, but you'd be hardpressed to find a christian who would condone THIS behavior. or at least i hope i never find a christian so disgusting that they'd condone this. thanks for a great example of christian hypocrisy. it comes up so often, i LOVE your blog!!
