Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Genesis 12

 We are told that while in Egypt, because of Sarai, that Pharaoh -

"...entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels."  (Genesis 12:16)

But also, Josephus recorded of Abraham - 

"...He communicated to them arithmetic, and delivered to them the science of astronomy; for before Abram came into Egypt they were unacquainted with those parts of learning..." (Josephus, Flavius, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 1, chapter 8, verses 1– 2).

This note seems to confirm the authenticity of the Book of Abraham
