Yes he did have fun. And he deserved to have too. I know that it was all a part of God's plan, but what his brothers did was very horrible. I loved the writing and the story.

There's another dimension to this story. Judah took a Canaanite woman to be his wife. That was a big no-no since God always wants His people to be separate from non-believer's.
So God put them in Egypt where there would be no intermarrying since the Egyptians despised the Jews. There God prospered them and made them greatly increase in number before emancipating them. They were in Egypt some 400 years just as God had told Abraham in Genesis 15:12 As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and a thick and dreadful darkness came over him. 13 Then the Lord said to him, "Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there. 14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.
This time period, added to the wilderness wanderings, allowed "The iniquity of the Canaanites" to ripen for judgement. Thus Joshua carried out the Divine sentence against a wicked people who had ignored the period of grace they were given by God's patience.

Yes Judah was a stinker in many ways and he had rotten sons. My set of poems will be about Moses. =} Thanks for the 6 stars. Rox

Comment from adewpearl
good use of rhyming couplets including good proximate rhyme like in end/again and devotion/portion
good alliteration in sent his servants
I like how you've breathed fresh, new life into an old familiar Bible story by putting it into poetic form

Great continuation of the story of Joseph. Telling it on rhyme form and more dimple English is a welcome change from normal biblical reading. I may have payed more attention on religious Ed class if presented like this.

Comment from Writingfundimension
I know getting revenge isn't exactly Christian, but I've always secretly admired the way Joseph turned the tables on his brothers and made them sweat. Of course, he didn't follow-through on fully punishing them. But you have shown how 'human' the people of the Bible are. Great job, Rox.
Hugs, Bev

Comment from Preston McWhorter
This is excellent rhyming poetry. It rhymes every other line as a rhyme scheme. It has good rhythm and tells a good story. I enjoyed it although I think that it is good to vary the rhyme scheme rather than have every other line rhyme.

An intriguing presentation of the biblical tale.
It flows well and tells the story in a precise manner.
I think I might have been more devoted to my studies had it been presented in rhyme.
Thanks for sharing
