Genesis 44:1-5 of Genesis 44:1-34( Joseph 😊❤ Tests His Brothers😊❤'s ) Genesis 44:1-5 " 44 Then he commanded the steward of his house, " Fill the men's sack with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack, 2 and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest( Benjamin), with his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph told him. 3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys. 4 They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his steward, " Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ' Why have you repaid evil for good? 5 It is not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination( do not practice divination today for those in Christ. Thank you :)) ? You have done evil in doing this' " "? ( Genesis 44:1-5 ESV Study Bible) Luke 4:8😊❤ "8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan), " It is written, " ' You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible. Jesus quoted from Old Testament Scripture because when satan or devil ( no good) tried to tempted Jesus with power and authority and their glory From Luke 4:5-7( this temptation) break the first commandment from Exodus 20:3 within the ten commandments(from Exodus 20:1-21( The Ten commandments)so that Exodus 20:3 said, "3 You shall have no other gods before me."( Exodus 20:3 ESV Study Bible) Therefore from Luke 4:8 again, Luke 4:8 "8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan), " It is written, " ' You shall worship the Lord your God(😊❤) , and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible.) This means "Jesus replies that worship😊❤ belongs to the Lord your God alone. "( ESV Study Bible.) This temptation( from Matthew 4:5-7 from satan) to Jesus our savior in Christ break the first commandment( from Exodus 20:3😊) ) so our Lord Jesus(😊1st❤) replied to satan in Luke 4:8 that worship belongs to the Lord your God(😊❤) alone. Now end this sharing with Luke 4:8 again, Luke 4:8 "8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan), " It is written, " ' You shall worship the Lord your God(😊❤) , and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible.)
Genesis 44:6-17 "6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words. 7 They said to him, " Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing! 8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from my lord's house? 9 whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants." 10 He( Joseph) said, " Let it be as you say: he who is found with it( the silver cup from Genesis 44:2a "...the silver cup, ...") shall be my servant, and rest of you shall be innocent." 11 Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack. 12 And he searched, beginning with eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack. 13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city. 14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground. 15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them, " What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible. Pause in Christ at Genesis 44:15b "...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"" ( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible let explain this also with Genesis 44:3-5 or Genesis 44:5 later) from Genesis 44:15b "...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?" "( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible Joseph😊❤ said these.) It means " Building on what his steward had said( Genesis 44:5 ) earlier regarding the silver cup( Genesis 44:5), Joseph portray himself as having the ability to discover secrets hidden from others. This may also be a ploy on Jeseph's part in order to elicit information from the brothers. Now that he has created the impresion that he can discover knowledge with divine help, his brothers may feel that they can no longer concel their past actions. For this reason, Judah remarks, God has found out the guilt of your servants( from Geneis 44:16 " 16 And Judah said, " What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? or how can we clear ourselves? God(😊100%❤) has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found." ( from Genesis 44:16 ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study said and i quote here in Christ " In all probability Judah has in minde the brothers' treatment of Joseph😊❤ , for he( Judah😊❤ ) knows that they are innocent😊❤ of taking the silver cup( no stealing😊❤). The brothers are convinced that God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) is now holding them to account for their( past) actions against Joseph😊❤. On behalf of all(😊❤'s) the brothers(😊❤'s), Judah😊❤ speaks to Joseph😊❤."( ESV Study Bible) Last time i went skimmed over Genesis 44:5 on what Joseph's steward said to his brothers like Joseph told indirectly from Genesis 44:4, 4 b him to said to his brothers (them) in Genesis 44:5 "5 Is it not from this ( silver cup) that my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? You have done evil in doing this.' " " ( Genesis 44:5 ESV Study Bible, before i share farther i am not God or Jesus. But just a faithful servant of God (😊100%❤) and follower of Jesus (😊1st❤ ) too in Christ) From Genesis 44:5b "...my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? ..."(Genesis 44:5b ) " Since these remark are set the context of a n elaborate ruse, it is impossible to know whether they should be taken as reflecting something that Joseph actually did. Joseph(😊❤ ) clearly intends that his brothers(😊❤'s) should believe( trust by faith in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ ) or trust God😊100%❤ )) that he has powers of supernatural discernent( "discernment is something revealed by God😊100%❤ to us in Christ )( Now we see Genesis 44:15 "15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them(😊❤'s), " What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible, this doesn't mean Joseph actually do bad divination but God reveals things to him no others understand to me by His words😊❤ from the Bible God😊100%❤ can speak in Christ too in Christ so to Joseph's divination is different from Laban's divination . God bless Laban because of Jacob( or Israel😊❤ ) to me in Christ. For future comments on divination, (we will) see from Genesis 30:27-30 on "learned by divination" My ESV Study Bible said and I quote in quotes, " The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible) "Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate.

- I feel sorry for Hagar - it’s not her fault she was born a slave and that she was USED to give birth to her innocent son. I’m not sure this makes sense to me
God showed grace and kindness to Hagar in the wilderness and Ishmael became a great nation. Here this image is used to show we are not born under the slavery of the Law but we are free under God's grace represented by Isaac.
You are not reading the Bible from God’s eyes … you are reading the Bible with your own eyes that is why you don’t think this makes sense. You should pray before you read and ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand, ask God to reveal His glory to you through the scriptures etc. (if you feel bad for her… then you are not going to like the rest of the books )
Was it better to get rid of Trump than to show mercy to the unborn? John Piper writes, regarding Trump: “Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers…when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person.”

Genesis 44:1-5 of Genesis 44:1-34( Joseph 😊❤
Tests His Brothers😊❤'s
)
Genesis 44:1-5
" 44 Then he commanded the steward of his house,
" Fill the men's sack with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack,
2 and put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest( Benjamin), with his money for the grain." And he did as Joseph told him.
3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away with their donkeys.
4 They had gone only a short distance from the city. Now Joseph said to his steward, " Up, follow after the men, and when you overtake them, say to them, ' Why have you repaid evil for good?
5 It is not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination( do not practice divination today for those in Christ. Thank you :)) ?
You have done evil in doing this' " "? ( Genesis 44:1-5 ESV Study Bible)
Luke 4:8😊❤
"8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan),
" It is written,
" ' You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible. Jesus quoted from Old Testament Scripture because when satan or devil ( no good) tried to tempted Jesus with power and authority and their glory
From Luke 4:5-7( this temptation) break the first commandment from Exodus 20:3 within the ten commandments(from Exodus 20:1-21( The Ten commandments)so that Exodus 20:3 said,
"3 You shall have no other gods before me."( Exodus 20:3 ESV Study Bible) Therefore from Luke 4:8 again,
Luke 4:8
"8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan),
" It is written,
" ' You shall worship
the Lord your God(😊❤)
,
and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible.)
This means "Jesus replies that worship😊❤ belongs to the Lord your God alone. "( ESV Study Bible.)
This temptation( from Matthew 4:5-7 from satan) to Jesus our savior in Christ break the first commandment( from Exodus 20:3😊)
) so our Lord Jesus(😊1st❤) replied to satan in Luke 4:8 that worship belongs to
the Lord your God(😊❤) alone.
Now end this sharing with Luke 4:8 again,
Luke 4:8
"8 And Jesus(😊1st❤) answered him( the devil or satan),
" It is written,
" ' You shall worship
the Lord your God(😊❤)
,
and him only shall you serve.' " "( ESV Study Bible.)
Genesis 44:6-17
"6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words.
7 They said to him,
" Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan.
How then could we steal silver or gold from my lord's house?
9 whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants."
10 He( Joseph) said,
" Let it be as you say: he who is found with it( the silver cup from Genesis 44:2a "...the silver cup, ...") shall be my servant, and rest of you shall be innocent."
11 Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
12 And he searched, beginning with eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city.
14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground.
15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them,
" What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible. Pause in Christ at Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"" ( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible let explain this also with Genesis 44:3-5 or Genesis 44:5 later) from Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?" "( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible Joseph😊❤ said these.)
It means
" Building on what his steward had said( Genesis 44:5 ) earlier regarding the silver cup( Genesis 44:5), Joseph portray himself as having the ability to discover secrets hidden from others. This may also be a ploy on Jeseph's part in order to elicit information from the brothers. Now that he has created the impresion that he can discover knowledge with divine help, his brothers may feel that they can no longer concel their past actions. For this reason, Judah remarks, God has found out the guilt of your servants( from Geneis 44:16
" 16 And Judah said,
" What shall we say to my lord?
What shall we speak?
or how can we clear ourselves?
God(😊100%❤) has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found."
( from Genesis 44:16 ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study said and i quote here in Christ
" In all probability Judah has in minde the brothers' treatment of Joseph😊❤
, for he( Judah😊❤
) knows that they are innocent😊❤
of taking the silver cup( no stealing😊❤). The brothers are convinced that God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) is now holding them to account for their( past) actions against Joseph😊❤. On behalf of all(😊❤'s) the brothers(😊❤'s), Judah😊❤ speaks to Joseph😊❤."( ESV Study Bible)
Last time i went skimmed over Genesis 44:5 on what Joseph's steward said to his brothers like Joseph told indirectly from Genesis 44:4, 4 b him to said to his brothers (them) in Genesis 44:5
"5 Is it not from this ( silver cup) that my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? You have done evil in doing this.' " " ( Genesis 44:5 ESV Study Bible, before i share farther i am not God or Jesus. But just a faithful servant of God (😊100%❤)
and follower of Jesus (😊1st❤ )
too in Christ)
From Genesis 44:5b
"...my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? ..."(Genesis 44:5b )
" Since these remark are set the context of a n elaborate ruse, it is impossible to know whether they should be taken as reflecting something that Joseph actually did. Joseph(😊❤ ) clearly intends that his brothers(😊❤'s) should believe( trust by faith in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ ) or trust God😊100%❤ )) that he has powers of supernatural discernent( "discernment is something revealed by God😊100%❤ to us in Christ )(
Now we see Genesis 44:15
"15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them(😊❤'s),
" What deed is this that you have done?
Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible, this doesn't mean Joseph actually do bad divination but God reveals things to him no others understand to me by His words😊❤ from the Bible God😊100%❤ can speak in Christ too in Christ
so to Joseph's divination is different from Laban's divination . God bless Laban because of Jacob( or Israel😊❤
) to me in Christ. For future comments on divination, (we will) see from Genesis 30:27-30 on "learned by divination"
My ESV Study Bible said and I quote in quotes,
" The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible)
"Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate. " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b Laban said
" ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b ESV Study Bible)
"In Genesis, all the members of the special line descended from Abraham(😊❤ ) are portrayed as mediating God's blessing😊❤ to others( Introduction: history of salvation Summary).
" Name your wages "( Laban said to Jacob in Genesis 30:28a
" Name your wage, and I will give it."( from Genesis 30:28 ESV Study Bible ) so when Laban said in Genesis 30:28a
"28Name your wage,..
"( Genesis 30:28a ESV Study Bible)
" For 14 years( 7 years for Leah and 7 years for Rachel), Jacob( or Israel😊❤) has served Laban in order to pay the bride price for Leah and Rachel( born Joseph and Benjamin).
Having fulfilled this obligation, which has financially benefited Laban well beyond what he might have expected. Jacob(or Israel😊❤) now wants to provides for his own household. Laban, conscious of how Jacob😊❤ has enriched him and eager to retain his services, ask Jacob to name his wages for remaining with him."( ESV Study Bible)
Back to Genesis 44:17
"17 But he (Joseph) said, " Far be it from me that i should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father( Jacob or Israel😊❤ )."( above Genesis 44:17 and above all in all meant Genesis 44:6-17 ESV Study Bible along with parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ along with notes in Christ and for Christ too from ESV Study Bible and paraphased too in Christ.
In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ and follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤
John 14:6😊❤
). Amen.
Mark 1:21-28
(Jesus😊1st❤ heals❤ a man with unclean spirit)
"21 When they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he( Jesus😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) entered the synagogues and was teaching.
22 And they were astonished at his( Jesus'😊1st❤) teaching😊❤,
for he(Jesus😊1st❤) taught them(😊❤'s )
( you might ask like what? )
as( like) onw who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And immediately("And Immedi ately"😊❤ what is Mark😊❤'s one of the favorite words😊❤ in Mark 😊❤ is " And Immediately😊❤")
there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 "what have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are- the Holy One of God."
25 But Jesus(😊1st❤) rebuked( yelled) him, saying,
" Be silent( "Be Silent" Or Be Still), and come out of him! "
26 And the unclean Spirit, convulsing him( that man) and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed😊❤, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,
" What is this? A new teaching ( from the Bible) with authority! He commands even then unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28 And at once his( Jesus😊1st❤'s) fame spread everywhere throughout all the sorrounding region of Galilee."( Mark 1:21-28 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ too in Christ.
Acts 1:8
"8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit( our helper 😊❤ in Christ) has come upon you(😊❤'s or you😊❤ today too in Christ) and you(😊❤'s ) will be my witnesses(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤&us 😊❤'s today too in Christ)
in
Jerusalem😊❤
and
in
all Judea😊❤
and
Samaria😊❤,
and
to the end( Acts 13-18) of the earth😊❤."( Acts 1:8 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 40:6-17 we share how Joseph had authority and now i show you Jesus(😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) in Colossians 1:15-16 in Christ
Colossians 1:15-16
"15 He ( Jesus😊1st❤) is the image of the invisible God😊100%❤, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by him( Jesus😊1st❤) all things❤ were created, in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominion or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him( Jesus😊1st❤) and for him( Jesus😊1st❤)."( Colossians 1:15-16 ESV Study Bible)
Amen in Christ.
If Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ has healed❤ you❤, how do you also going to serve him by serving others today in Christ too? Serve God by serving ❤ others as serving Jesus 😊1st❤ too in Christ. Matthew 28:19-20😊❤

" The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible)
"Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate. " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b Laban said
" ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b ESV Study Bible)
"In Genesis, all the members of the special line descended from Abraham(😊❤ ) are portrayed as mediating God's blessing😊❤ to others( Introduction: history of salvation Summary).
" Name your wages "( Laban said to Jacob in Genesis 30:28a
" Name your wage, and I will give it."( from Genesis 30:28 ESV Study Bible ) so when Laban said in Genesis 30:28a
"28Name your wage,..
"( Genesis 30:28a ESV Study Bible)
" For 14 years( 7 years for Leah and 7 years for Rachel), Jacob( or Israel😊❤) has served Laban in order to pay the bride price for Leah and Rachel( born Joseph and Benjamin).
Having fulfilled this obligation, which has financially benefited Laban well beyond what he might have expected. Jacob(or Israel😊❤) now wants to provides for his own household. Laban, conscious of how Jacob😊❤ has enriched him and eager to retain his services, ask Jacob to name his wages for remaining with him."( ESV Study Bible)
Back to Genesis 44:17
"17 But he (Joseph) said, " Far be it from me that i should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father( Jacob or Israel😊❤ )."( above Genesis 44:17 and above all in all meant Genesis 44:6-17 ESV Study Bible along with parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ along with notes in Christ and for Christ too from ESV Study Bible and paraphased too in Christ.

Mark 1:21-28
(Jesus😊1st❤ heals❤ a man with unclean spirit)
"21 When they went into Capernaum, and immediately on the Sabbath he( Jesus😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) entered the synagogues and was teaching.
22 And they were astonished at his( Jesus'😊1st❤) teaching😊❤,
for he(Jesus😊1st❤) taught them(😊❤'s )
( you might ask like what? )
as( like) onw who had authority, and not as the scribes.
23 And immediately("And Immedi ately"😊❤ what is Mark😊❤'s one of the favorite words😊❤ in Mark 😊❤ is " And Immediately😊❤")
there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out,
24 "what have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth?
Have you come to destroy us?
I know who you are- the Holy One of God."
25 But Jesus(😊1st❤) rebuked( yelled) him, saying,
" Be silent( "Be Silent" Or Be Still), and come out of him! "
26 And the unclean Spirit, convulsing him( that man) and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him.
27 And they were all amazed😊❤, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,
" What is this? A new teaching ( from the Bible) with authority! He commands even then unclean spirits, and they obey him."
28 And at once his( Jesus😊1st❤'s) fame spread everywhere throughout all the sorrounding region of Galilee."( Mark 1:21-28 ESV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus😊1st❤ too in Christ.
Acts 1:8
"8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit( our helper 😊❤ in Christ) has come upon you(😊❤'s or you😊❤ today too in Christ) and you(😊❤'s ) will be my witnesses(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤&us 😊❤'s today too in Christ)

In Genesis 40:6-17 we share how Joseph had authority and now i show you Jesus(😊1st❤ my savior in Christ too) in Colossians 1:15-16 in Christ
Colossians 1:15-16
"15 He ( Jesus😊1st❤) is the image of the invisible God😊100%❤, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by him( Jesus😊1st❤) all things❤ were created, in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominion or rulers or authorities - all things were created through him( Jesus😊1st❤) and for him( Jesus😊1st❤)."( Colossians 1:15-16 ESV Study Bible)
Amen in Christ.
If Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ has healed❤ you❤, how do you also going to serve him by serving others today in Christ too? Serve God by serving ❤ others as serving Jesus 😊1st❤ too in Christ. Matthew 28:19-20😊❤

- I feel sorry for Hagar - it’s not her fault she was born a slave and that she was USED to give birth to her innocent son. I’m not sure this makes sense to me
God showed grace and kindness to Hagar in the wilderness and Ishmael became a great nation. Here this image is used to show we are not born under the slavery of the Law but we are free under God's grace represented by Isaac.
You are not reading the Bible from God’s eyes … you are reading the Bible with your own eyes that is why you don’t think this makes sense. You should pray before you read and ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand, ask God to reveal His glory to you through the scriptures etc. (if you feel bad for her… then you are not going to like the rest of the books )
Was it better to get rid of Trump than to show mercy to the unborn?
John Piper writes, regarding Trump: “Christians communicate a falsehood to unbelievers…when we act as if policies and laws that protect life and freedom are more precious than being a certain kind of person.”

God obviously felt it was better to get rid of Trump. The problem is that your worship the wrong one.
