Hi,

very well sidestepped. It really is remarkable. You have it down to a  
fine art. If only you could defend your theory as well as you can  
sidestep the issues raised then you would have had me convinced long

I take the below as a retraction of your statement the last story is  
just about Joseph and couldn't be interpretted as a history of Jacob's  
lineage.
