Kool is the phonetic spelling of the Hebrew word chul. In English the word is sustain which means "to maintain, nourish, provide, protect, bear, hold up, support, defend; to supply the means necessary for living, to measure out a provision of food"
One example of this word use is found in Genesis 50:21 when Joesph pledges to provide for his brothers and their little children in time of famine. " Now therefore , do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones..."
Joseph's response to his brothers injustice and personal suffering, developed a Christ like attitude that sustained him and his brothers. His attitude reflected maturity and insight. To be able to perceive the hand of God in prolonged period of unfair suffering requires innumerable choices to deny bitterness and to pray.
"Cast your burden on the Lord,
And He shall sustain you;
He shall never permit the
righteous to be moved".
Psalms 55:22
