A moral lesson for the greater good of God is with immorality there is great division. “Where do wars and fights come from among you?

Samson was born to a man named Zorah, called Manoah, of a barren wife, “The angel of the Lord appeared to her and said, “You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son.” (Judges 13:3).

Rather than Joseph spending time with his wife who had just given birth or visiting his baby for the first time, his first thought was to order the inspector. Joseph is so overly devoted and determined to be right in the eyes of God, that he would ignore his newborn baby and wife until they were deemed normal. “There was plenty of silent speculation whether my father would, as the law allowed, send my mother
