| Gehazi is a Yahwist, however, who understands nothing of the transformative faith to which the narrative attests. |
| The Yahwist tells us that from the beginning of time, God intended marriage to be a covenant of oneness, a unity of heart, mind, and body. |
| Blood is spilled on the earth in old rites masked as simple superstition so as not to raise the ire of the Yahwist religious rulers of Samaria. |
| The Yahwist also describes the breakdown of mutuality and relationship when we fail to adhere to that ethos, using human craftiness to exploit power. |
| Nonetheless, there are still more people who believe that the Yahwist credited Joseph with a multicolored coat than are familiar with the fable as actually written. |
| Then, at the brink of what might have been the end of the story for all of us, the Yahwist introduces a note of hope. |
