Elohim separated the light from the darkness Elohim called to the light ‘‘Day’’ To the darkness he called ‘‘Night’’ It was evening, it was morning One day CHAPTER 25. 29 - 34 Jacob was brewing a brew Esau came in from the field He was tired Esau said to Jacob Please let me gulp of the red stuff, that red stuff for I am tired So they called his name Red (Edom) Jacob said, Sell me your birthright today ! Esau said, Here I am going to die ! Of what use is a birthright to me ? Jacob said, Swear to me today ! He swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob Jacob gave Esau bread and a brew of lentils He ate, drank, upped and went Esau scorned the birthright
CHAPTER 44. 18 - 23 Judah drew closer to him and said I beg you, my lord! Please let your servant speak a word in my lord’s ears Do not let your anger flame against your servant for you are as Pharaoh! My lord asked his servants, saying Do you have a father or a brother ? We said to my lord We have an old father and a young child of old age His brother is dead He alone is left of his mother His father loves him You said to your servants, Bring him down to me I will set my eyes upon him We said to my lord The boy is not able to leave his father Should he leave his father, he will die! You said to your servants If your youngest brother does not come down with you you shall see my face no more! PRIERES D' EN RIRE Mon Dieu, donne-nous la pluie quand nous espérons le soleil. Donne-nous de la musique quand nous redoutons l’ennui. Donne-nous des larmes quand nous attendons un petit déjeuner. Donne-nous des rêves quand nous craignons un orage. Donne-nous un chien perdu quand nous souhaitons des félicitations. Mon Dieu, joue avec nous, mets-nous sens dessus dessous

| Que Dieu bénisse les égarés, ceux qui se trompent, ceux qui manquent de confiance, ceux qui sont déroutés, ceux qui sont intrigués, ceux qui sont ébahis, ceux qui sont déconcertés et ceux qui sont perplexes. AMEN | Nous te remercions pour les animaux domestiques. Ces créatures qui nous font suffisamment confiance pour nous approcher. Ces créatures qui nous font suffisamment confiance pour se montrer telles qu’elles sont. Issus de l’état sauvage, les animaux s’avancent vers nous. Ils viennent à nous du monde intérieur. Ils apportent la beauté et la joie, le réconfort et la paix. Pour ce miracle et pour ce qu’il nous apprend, nous te remercions. AMEN | | | |
