Definitely an interesting WTF story from the get go.

Jacob goes to find a wife - and sees Rachel (his cousin) and wants to marry her. Works for Laban 7 years to marry her. On the wedding night, his uncle decides that instead of getting Rachel, Jacob should instead marry Leah (Rachel's older sister). Jacob then has to work for Laban another 7 years to get Rachel.

Joseph is Rachel's first born child - after a bunch of scheming (kikes afterall) with handmaids of both Leah and Rachel, ending with a bunch of other kids.

Joseph being the first son of Jacob's true love Rachel actually makes sense that there is favoritism going on there, and also resentment with all the rest of the older sons.

Rachel also eventually has Benjamin, another of Jacob's favorites - and when the clan goes to Egypt to get food, Jacob holds Benjamin back in case the rest get killed or taken into slavery.

Edit to add the birth research:
1) Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn. He was the son of Leah, Jacob’s first wife.

2) Simeon was next, and he was also a son of Leah.

3) Levi was the third of Jacob and Leah’s children.

4) Judah was the next. After bearing Judah, Leah stopped bearing children for a time.

5) Dan was born to Jacob by Bilhah, his wife Rachel’s handmaid. It was common practice in that day for a barren wife to give her servant to her husband to bear children in her name. (Rachel jealous of Leah?)

6) Naphtali was the next child, also through Bilhah.

7) Gad was number seven. He was the child of Jacob and Zilpah, the handmaid of Leah. (now Leah jealous of Rachel)

8) Asher was next. He was the second son of Zilpah.

9) Issachar was another son granted to Leah.

10) Zebulun was the next child, Leah’s sixth.

11) Dinah was Jacob’s only daughter, and her mother was Leah.

12) Joseph was Jacob’s twelfth child and Rachel’s first, as God opened her womb and enabled her to conceive.

13) Benjamin was Jacob’s last child. His mother, Rachel, who died during labor, named him Ben-Oni, which means “son of my trouble,” but Jacob renamed him Benjamin, which means “son of my right hand.”

Other WTF Bible stories:

Lot’s daughters getting him drunk to have sex with him. Ummm I don’t care how drunk my dad gets, he would never be that drunk.

Abraham getting ready to kill his own son as a test.

The whole Jacob and Esau birthright story never set right with me. We are supposed to admire a cheat and look down on the twin that worked hard.

The biblical intro of "in the beginning" is the substitute for "once upon a time"...and rather than "and they lived happily ever after", the book of Revelations was inserted into the closing to maintain a level of perpetual fear that shows how much love the biblical God has for the
144,000 righteous people worthy of eternity, whom of which will "live happily ever after".

I love that the Bible tells it as it is, and really helps to elucidate the sinful condition of man and how we are in need of a redeemer.

There are some seriously messed up stories in the Bible, it's a great read.

It's a series of books containing stories about Jews.
Once you realize this, you don't need to internalize it anymore.

Put the (((Bible))) down and declare White Blood ahd White Soil your highest power.
It will never be confusing to you because it is you.

Church is bullshit. It’s a fucking business. If I wasn’t such a dick, I’d own one someday, just for the gibs.

Everybody in the OT is a jerk . They aren’t moral people. Jacob was a jerk that cheated his uncle Laban to get all his goats. His wives Leah and Rachel had some weird competition where they used their maids to try to outdo each other in baby making. Joseph was a little shit who was a tattle tale and he told his brothers that he foresaw in a dream that they would worship him. No wonder they wanted to kill him.

Later on Joseph uses his prophetic knowlege of the famine to trick the Egyptians into selling all their land and livestock and themselves into slavery to the pharoah. The bible treats this as a huge win—like a virtuous deed. WTF.

Samson is a total dick. Didn’t he do some weird thing where he tied foxes’ tails together and set them on fire?
That whole scenario where he starts killing Philistines after he looses his fiance is all because he is an asshole at his own wedding who tries to con his guests out of their clothes with his stupid riddle. His fiance ends up getting burned to death.

Theres no moral examples to be had from these stories. These were shitskins with shitskin morality. I was raised catholic and they watered these stories down to us as kids. But reading the actual text, I was shocked by how degenerate these characters were. Theyre all perverts and murderers and cheats. Favoritism is the least problematic thing going on there. Two of his four baby mommas are sex slaves ffs.

There's a broad in the OT who is recorded daydreaming about when she was younger. She proceeds to start missing her lovers at the time because they jizzed like horses. Yes, that is spelled out in detail. Wahmen moment.

it's amazing to a european how deeply enmeshed you americans are in the bible. Here only a small minority of 'good citizens' go to mass on Sundays, but the vast majority have long since stopped believing all those fantastic bible stories
