I’ve looked at Joseph and his brothers complicated relationship in the book of Genesis in the past and I thought I understood all the intricacies in the story. I revisited it again in the past month and half and zeroed in on Reuben. There are just several things in the narrative concerning Reuben that didn’t sit well with me. I believe the holy spirit wanted me to dig deeper and think through a lot of the smaller features within the meta narrative in order to understand Reuben’s actions and the motive behind them.

My name is Tayib Salami and I started Tayibs.com for the sole purpose of exploring difficult questions about the Christian faith that most of us shy away from. In 2017, I entered a very dark time in my life and it’s only by the grace of the Living God that I’m still alive today. It led me to really go deeper in my faith and consider a myriad of questions that I never thought about asking myself or others before. Welcome and enjoy the ride with me.
