oil in Genesis 41
OYL
This thing shows up in Genesis 41:51: “Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.”” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Genesis 41:51
“Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, “For”, he said, “God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father’s house.””
