†. Mtt 12:40 . . For just as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days
and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three
days and three nights.
When you think about it, Jesus' corpse was never in the heart of the earth.
It wasn't even in the earth's soil. It...
†. Gen 37:29-30 . .When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that
Joseph was not in the pit, he rent his clothes. Returning to his
brothers, he said: The boy is gone! Now, what am I to do?
Precisely where, and why, Reuben wasn't present when his brothers sold
Joseph isn't stated.
Reuben wasn't...
†. Gen 37:21-22 . . But when Reuben heard it, he tried to save him
from them. He said: Let us not take his life. And Reuben went on:
Shed no blood! Cast him into that pit out in the wilderness, but do
not touch him yourselves-- intending to save him from them and
restore him to his father.
The...
In the sacred hallways of heaven, A crystal jewel so precious and rare. Nestled amidst grass, thick and soft as down. So soft and fragile,one must only whisper there. Tis jewell, a beauty rare, so hard to find, unique. So perfect and complete- but touch it and it breaks. With our cracked...
†. Gen 37:9-11 . . He dreamed another dream and told it to his
brothers, saying; Look, I have had another dream: And this time, the
sun, the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.
. . . And when he told it to his father and brothers, his father berated
him. What; he said to him; is this...
I know it was so long a time ago, I saw your eyes and I thought whoah! This is too good to be true. But here I am so far away, And I can’t get you out my head today I just want to give you a call and say: You take … Keep reading →

†. Gen 37:1-2a . . Now Jacob was settled in the land where his father
had sojourned, the land of Canaan. This, then, is the line of Jacob:
Genesis doesn't list a big genealogy right here like the one for Esau in
chapter 36, but rather, it's going to "follow" the line of Jacob from here on in
to...
Chapter 36 is mostly a genealogy, so I'm only going to do just twelve of its
forty-three verses.
†. Gen 36:1 . .This is the line of Esau-- that is, Edom.
Edom is from the Hebrew word 'Edom (ed-ome') which is the color red; and
was the tag hung on him back in Gen 25:30.
†. Gen 36:2-7 . . Esau...
Billowing black smoke, tinged with yellow. Fiery crimson on a skeleton ridge set aglow. Showers of flames explode, as the eucalypti fuel This raging infernio – this catalyst that changes its world. It removes the old, and replaces it with new. A new world where things grow anew. It removes the...
†. Gen 35:21 . . Israel journeyed on, and pitched his tent beyond
Migdal-eder.
Although Israel is Jacob's spiritual name, it's also the name of his whole
household (e.g. Gen 34:7) so that when Genesis says "Israel journeyed" it
means everybody associated with Jacob was on the move.
An...
In today’s world, we’ve got all these misconceptions of a concept called love. Yeah, love can be infatuation, I love you boy, I love you girl, all of the above. But we so often miss, is the most important love: a love that I’d call, the Jesus’ love. So this Jesus’ love, what is … Keep reading...
†. Gen 35:16b . . Rachel was in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
Rachel was no longer a spring chicken. Rueben, Jacob's firstborn, is now old
enough to fool around with grown women. It's probably been in the
neighborhood of 40+ years since Rachel's first meeting with Jacob back in
chapter...
†. Gen 35:13-14 . . God parted from him at the spot where He had
spoken to him; and Jacob set up a pillar at the site where He had
spoken to him, a pillar of stone, and he offered a libation on it and
poured oil upon it.
The pillar that Jacob erected on this same site back in Gen 28:18 received...

†. Gen 35:6-7 . .Thus Jacob came to Luz-- that is, Bethel --in the land
of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. There he built
an altar and named the site El-bethel, for it was there that God had
revealed Himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother.
Bethel is located...
†. Gen 35:1 . . God said to Jacob: Arise, go up to Bethel and remain
there; and build an altar there to the god who appeared to you when
you were fleeing from your brother Esau.
So now; God is sending Jacob back to the place of his initial enlightenment,
and ordering him to establish a worship...
†. Gen 34:25-26 . . On the third day, when they were in pain, Simeon
and Levi, two of Jacob's sons, brothers of Dinah, took each his
sword, came upon the city unopposed, and slew all the males. They
put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword, took Dinah out of
Shechem's house, and went away...

Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him in
marriage. Intermarry with us: give your daughters to us, and take
our daughters for yourselves:
The only problem is: whose religion would be taught to Dinah's children?
