| | Genesis 42:10 is pinpointed by a different key than that of the 111 unit, by “branching off” of 930 without adding another layer as the 111 unit does. So, what we are doing, instead, is following the trunk straight up/straight down: 144 is visually coded as 930, and 930 is visually coded as 1263. You will find that the 1,263rd verse is Genesis 42:10, which I asked about in the second section of this essay. For the want of food, and in face of an accusation of being unfriendly spies, all men will claim, and rightly so, that they are all one man’s sons. And, they really are all one man’s sons. Adam’s. This is the most powerful way in which Joseph is a figure of Christ. | | Genesis 42:10 is pinpointed by a different key than that of the 111 unit, by “branching off” of 930 without adding another layer as the 111 unit does.

| | + | What does it mean that a father and his son agree to do something by which others have plotted to kill them? |

| | + | And, what did God think of a world in which all good land was already inhabited by peoples who had lost their way and who would not listen or consider? In regard to the former world, all the Earth had been reclaimed by God is one great act. |

| | + | Now, there was not to be a repeat of that world, which is why God scattered everyone who had congregated in Babel and at its great tower. So, what, really, was left to be done when God called Abram? Answer: give the man a reason to keep at his original way because of which he was called. |

| | + | It was the earliest opportunity to select a man to take Shem's place. Even though Shem was to outlive him by decades, the much younger man was the better one for the current job. Shem, had been preceded by Enoch in terms of perspective, but not even Shem could claim to understand what it was like to live as a native of that present world. Shem had never been so stupid. So, it had to be a father and his son who, in all innocence and determination, began the next stage of the world. |

| | + | By all this, find it, if you can. Otherwise, it doesn't look like it belongs in all this, or that it could ever amount to anything. It stands out precisely because it doesn't. All the other nations wanted nothing to do with such humble beginnings. And, Egypt itself did so only because Egypt was forced to it by the need to survive: there was no where else for so many people to go to live; only the Nile delta, which they already were so good at keeping; everything else was a bareness which simply could not support them. If you were determined to go out anyway, Godspeed to you. But, if you were determined to stay, then you were not allowed to jeapordize the lives of everyone (including yourself) by simply staying. You had to commit, by a means that would allow you to stay without the fatal risk that had promised to while them all out. |

| | + | For only one people was it an election, and who did not live in the delta. Their land was at the junction of all Earth's trade, and because God, in His wisdom, had selected that land for to be the land of His own nation. In a fallen world only. |
