We take a break from the Joseph narrative this week for the soap opera story of Judah and Tamar. Strap in for a story that has love, death, trickery, babies, twists and turns.

We're between major stories on our journey, but because we're Besties no Bible gets left behind! A couple of short stories during this intermission and then it's on to Joseph.

Now that Jacob is drowning in a sea of babies it's time to move on. He wants to settle up with Laban, who has one last trick up his sleeve. Little does Laban know that Jacob still lives up to his name. Rachel and Leah get back at their dad in their own way too.
