GenesisSteve Gregg

In "Genesis 38-39", Steve Gregg discusses the interruption in the story of Joseph by detailing the story of Judah's family and Levirate marriage, emphasizing the value of children in Hebrew culture. The chapter also highlights the integrity and conscience of Joseph when he resists Potiphar's wife's attempts to sleep with him, resulting in him being falsely accused and thrown into prison. Throughout the story, the message is clear that God is with Joseph wherever he goes, regardless of his circumstances or location.
