All I could come up with so far that makes any sense at all is he was making some sort of a point by picking these people. I can't believe he picked them because he was so fond of them and all their fine attributes such as stubbornness, fickleness, impatience etc. etc. There is a moral to the Bible story if we stop focusing so much on all the clutter. They weren't chosen because they were so righteous. After reading the bible, whatever translation, the only thing that remains consistent is what's in your heart is what counts. plm
tried to put it all in one post but can't. error error error error
