†. 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...

†. Gen 34:8-9 . . And Hamor spoke with them, saying: My son
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?
Would...

†. Gen 34:1 . . Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had borne to
Jacob, went out to visit the daughters of the land.
It's difficult to ascertain Dinah's age at this time, but she, being the only girl
in a family of eleven boys (Benjamin wasn't born yet), surely must have
longed to hang out with a...
Softly sing me a lullaby, whisper me a lie. As I lie awake, sing me to sleep tonight. Sing me a lie, something made of straw- Give me tinted glasses so I won’t see my sores. My blindness: I cannot see, but mirages in front of me. The rock is nothing but a thin … Keep reading →

†. Gen 33:20 . . He set up an altar there, and called it El-elohe
yisrael.
El-elohe-yisrael is actually 'Eel-'Eloheey-Yisraa'eel which is a compound of
three separate words.
'Eel is from 'el (ale) and means strength; as an adjective; viz: mighty.
'Eloheey is from 'elohiym (el-o-heem') and...
†. Gen 33:12 . . And [Esau] said: Let us start on our journey, and I
will proceed at your pace.
Jacob undoubtedly told Esau his ultimate destination, which was probably
Hebron, the place where their dad would later die. Isaac's last known
address was Beer-sheba. Why he moved 26 miles north to...
†. Gen 33:5 . . Looking about, he saw the women and the children.
Who, he asked: are these with you? He answered: The children with
whom God has favored your servant.
Because Jacob's response drew Esau's attention to the lads rather than the
women, Jewish folklore proposes that Jacob did that...
