So now let's let's look at the blessing handout that I added to your handouts, so you can add it right after Genesis one through three. I'll make you a great nation. That word nation is the word goy means nation. It it ought to be I'll make you a great people group or Yom. But instead he uses the word boy which is super cool but right blessing handout says blessing on the top. So what I did here was I looked at all of my notes and several commentaries to say okay, if blessing is key and core to this covenant, what does that mean? And because because now if you go to also we're picking on some churches, there's some churches you go to, when they say blessing what do they mean? Oh, my god, yeah. Not just money, money that you're gonna send them. Back. If you've never heard this, just Google Joel Olsteen church pays off. They paid off their 100 million dollar facility, you know, and they're like, God's gonna return it to you. And so it's all it's all money. And so the thing is, I mean, most, most people are like, Hey, this is spiritual blessing, but really, there is material blessing in this because if you didn't, you can't survive, you know? So let's go back to the garden. You have the perfect relationship between God and man, guess what? They are protected. They have food. They have plenty of fruit. They're told to be fruitful. God is taking care of them. And then when you go through the story, how does God bless them? It's with goats. And sheep, and slaves and gold and it made it so he's he's taking care of them or putting them in a land where they can thrive so so we can't just to say, there's no money involved here. God's gonna bless you with these future blessings and heavenly blessings and spiritual blessings that you know. So in Genesis 12, if we're going to read it correctly, we've got there's got to be a material component to it and we just need to be okay with it, but it can't be all about the money right? You know, it's not just like, Abraham and his bling bling. That's not what we're getting here. So there's, there's probably this it'll probably get a little academic and technical, you know, but I kind of tried to pull some of the scholars name of, well, there's a well being and there's a piece there's a, a human prosperity of long life and wealth and harvest and children. There's there's lots of kids being born because they're being fruitful, like God commanded them in the garden. You know, I mentioned the king references of this. The king is in charge taking care of his people. There's the the opera caca in the opera, I don't know. If someone that knows linguistics or speech path you could actually probably phonetically say that better than me because up. So thinking again, life in the garden that Longman says there's a spiritual, emotional, psychological as were as well as material, so it's kind of like its blessings on all fronts. Here. Right? The story of Joseph lacks any list of blessings, which is an interesting observation, you know, blessing there's numerical fruitfulness, you know, so there's, there's the fruit of more kids and the fruit that they're able to eat, sustain life, you know, so So you have both Abraham becomes the gold standard. You know, God is the agent bringing forth these blessings, you know, so, so it's it's very much a we'll see this flesh out again through the rest of the story. How is God blessing you know, we look at it in terms of God's continuing to do things that only God can do. And he's, and he's billing these people. And there are threats. There is a slavery in Egypt, you know, Joseph brings them over and saves them from this famine. And they're like, Yay, and Pharaoh goes, whoa, wait a minute, too many of these people, let's put them to work, you know, and so enslaves them. There's also the slavery also seems to be a reference to exile of them, you know, getting kicked out of the land, that kind of stuff, you know, so, so I wanted to have a, just because Blent blessing is mentioned so often, I wanted to make sure that we kind of can see what the scholars are saying about it, you know, in their scholarly ways, right. But the what we walk away from that is it's it's very much multifaceted blessing, you know, its land sustain them and its growth and so there is stuff involved in it, but it's all it's definitely what God is doing is he's making a great nation with a great name where all people on Earth are able to receive a blessing through this, which we ultimately know is from Christ, right? The true blessing of being able to be in the presence of God is what Jesus provided for us which guess what this is Jesus is Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, Greg, great grandfather, you know. He's actually all of us. But yeah, there you go. So, all right questions so far. So there are seven components to Genesis 12, one through three that we that you see there. We walk through them, I'll make you a great nation. I will bless you. I will make your name great, you will be a blessing. I bless those who bless you. I will curse those who curse you and all the families on the earth will be blessed through you you know, so, so we definitely see Deval and Hayes summarize that and for they say
