Chapter2— The Fall and Opposition
And now, Jacob, I speak unto you: Thou art my firstborn in the days of my tribulation in the wilderness. And behold, in thy childhood thou hast suffered afflictions and much sorrow, because of the rudeness of thy brethren. 2Nevertheless, Jacob, my firstborn in the wilderness, thou knowest the greatness of God; and he shall consecrate thine afflictions for thy gain. 3Wherefore, thy soul shall be blessed, and thou shalt dwell safely with thy brother, Joseph; and thou shalt dwell in the land of promise, and thy seed shall be blessed. 4For behold, it is expedient that there should be an opposition; for without opposition there could be no righteousness, neither wickedness, neither holiness, neither misery. 5And if there should be no opposition, there would have been no purpose in the creation of man; and there would have been no end to the works of God.
