The family tree of Yeshua (from Luke and Matthew)

A man of wrath stirs up strife, and one given to anger causes much transgression.
Proverbs 29:22 ESV

"Blessed are the peacemakers". A consistently calm demeaner will help other people remain calm and willing to talk out disagreements. However, anger is like fire. One angry person can nullify the positive effect of 10 peaceful people. He is quick to take offense and to cause offense, which makes other people angry, and so on.

If your tribe lived 600 miles away (and you are like a sojourner in a foreign land at home) but, you had to remain living at such a distance for another decade, how would you cope?

"If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

Mt 19

When we shift our focus from the victim to the sinner and the sin what we see is much different than the world would have us see. The victim certainly needs to be compensated if possible and the sinner had a need as well — a need for repentance. Psalm 32:5,”Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD," and You forgave the guilt of my sin.” Each Bible lesson of forgiveness begins with confession and repentance because without true repentance, forgiveness is neither granted to the sinner or accepted by the sinner.

"Then shall you return, and discern between the righteous and wicked, between him that serveth God, and him that serveth him not."

Mal 3
