| | If you have read the contexts of verses pinpointed by the unit of 111 verses, then you will know that it does not exclude the verses immediately before and after the verse pinpointed. Otherwise, there is no context by which to understand the verse pinpointed. And, the whole point is context. | | If you have read the contexts of verses pinpointed by the unit of 111 verses, then you will know that it does not exclude the verses immediately before and after the verse pinpointed.

| − | 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 adverse to one's own good, all men will claim that they are good and are all one man’s sons. And, they really are all one man’s sons: Adam’s. But, this verse is the most powerful way in which Joseph is a figure of Christ, because Christ was not a son of Adam and so could judge all Adam's sons. | + | 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.

| − | But, the story surrounding this verse has the men pleading innocence, and as consenting to the guilt of the one among them of whom shall be found the object of guilt. Yet, as 'counter-conspired' by Joseph, that one is not guilty at all, but all of them except that one: to steal a mere drinking vessel from a 'house of a luxury of such vessels' was nothing to the murder one who had never known either any luxury nor any way to defend against being murdered. | + | By way of his servant, here Joseph had just accused his bothers of theft of a common item of luxury which he represents to them as that by which he has power to divine. But, these brothers all sincerely deny having committed such a thing, by saying that they are not covertly adverse to Egypt. |

Yet, as 'counter-conspired' by Joseph, that one is not guilty at all, but all of them except that one: to steal a mere drinking vessel from a 'house of a luxury of such vessels' was nothing to the theft of the very life of one who had never known either any luxury nor any way to defend against being murdered. |
