Joseph falls into the hands of an undajusted Judah and it is as if he is devoured by a beast. Jesus is the lion of Judah, but there is a long distance between Judah in this text and the later adjusted into the line of Messiah
So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
