...would be a great nation and blessed him with Isaac. Isaac had two sons named Esau, the eldest and Jacob. Jacob has to leave home to hide from his brother Esau because Jacob tricked their father into giving him the blessing that was intended for the eldest. Jacob ran to Haran to stay with relative, Laban, to avoid the anger of Esau. While there he falls in love with Rachel, Laban’s youngest daughter and asks for her hand in marriage. Laban agrees that if Jacob will agree to stay and work for seven years he may have Rachel’s hand. Laban does not keep his promise he replaces Rachel with Leah, the eldest daughter, and tricks Jacob into sleeping with her instead. When Jacob discovers what has happened he demands to be given Rachel as promised and so ends up with Rachel as a second wife. Jacob never really shows affection for Leah and makes it known that Rachel is the favored wife. Leah provides Jacob with a firstborn and numerous other sons, but it is late in life when Rachel conceives Joseph, who is the eleventh born son, and then Benjamin. Benjamin’s birth takes Rachel’s life and therefore is the last of her children. Joseph Jacob makes it clear to everyone that Joseph is the favored son (Blank, 1998). Jacob may consider Joseph to be his real firstborn son since Rachel was the chosen wife. Jealousy builds over the years at the obvious favoritism bestowed on Joseph by Jacob in Jacob’s other children. Although the actual firstborn son Rueben loses favor because he sleeps...

...The Life of Joseph Joseph was born to Jacob and Rachel after she had been unable to have children for seven years. Joseph was Jacob’s 11th son, and his favorite, born when he was very old. Jacob made Joseph a beautiful robe that had many colors in it. Jacob would often send Joseph to spy on his brothers and to report back to him any behavior that was considered inappropriate. The brothers knew Joseph was watching them and their hatred for him grew even more for telling Jacob what they were doing. Joseph also had special dreams in which he could predict things that would happen in the future. When Joseph told the brothers of his dreams, they wanted to know what he could see. He told them that in the first dream, sheaves of wheat that belonged to them were going to bow to his sheaf. In the second dream, he told them that the sun, moon and eleven stars were going to bow to him. When Joseph was 17 years old, he worked with his brothers as shepherds. One day Jacob sent Joseph to see what the brothers were doing in Shechem. When Joseph got there, the brothers were nowhere to be found. A man told him where they were, so he went to Dotham to see what they were up to. Though he was trying not to be seen by the brothers, he was spotted anyway. Before he could reach them, they had already come up with a plan between them to kill Joseph. The brothers tore his robe off and threw him in a pit. Reuben had talked the brothers into throwing him in the pit instead of killing him so that he...

...were created Africans. It is God’s choice. We must live with it, and others must accept us as we are. It is the practice, custom and culture of marriage, as practiced by Africans, that is our discussion today. This discussion seeks to show that our practices are not foreign to Godly practices or Christian belief. A step by step exposition with Biblical references show that our traditional marriages have similarities with the Jewish traditions of old as recorded in the Bible. None of them stands in contra-distinction to the teachings of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour. A man who loves a woman, proposes to that woman. In Genesis 34:3 we read the following, about Shechem who loved Dinah: “And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.” A woman also marries whom she thinks best. This we read in Numbers 36:6: “This is the thing which the Lord doth command...

...Each of these happenings could have caused Joseph to become pessimistic, unforgiving and possibly evil; although Joseph had God with him through all his strife, the narrartor tell us.. God had a plan for Joseph to triumph all negative things and show forgiveness and spread it through his story. He believes that God’s plan eventually led him to saving his brothers lives. If not for all the bad things that happened to Joseph, his brothers may not have been granted grain during the famine. There would have been another person in charge instead of Joseph being there that denied the brothers and surely they would have died. Also, Joseph’s brothers may never have been set on the right path if their jealousy had continued throughout their lives. Jacob had a suspicion that his sons had done away with Joseph because he loved and favored him so much. The...

List the six days of creation and say what happens in each. 1) On the first day God created the Earth, which at the time would have been a giant ball of water, and He divided light from darkness. “Formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of God was hovering over the waters.” (Genesis 1:1-5) 2) On day two God separated the water from the air. God made the expanse and separated water from water, He called “the expanse sky.” (Genesis 1:6-8) 3) On the third day God created the land and plants. Moving all water to one place that allowed dry ground to appear. He called this dry ground land and he called the gathered water seas. Thus, allowing land to produce vegetation: “seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” (Genesis 1:9-13) 4) On the fourth day God created the stars and the sun. Creating two great lights, “the greater light to govern day, and lesser light to govern night.” (Genesis 1:14-19) 5) On day five fish and birds were created. Living birds flying above the expanse sky and the great creature in the expanse sea. God blessed them and said, “be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on earth.” (Genesis 1:20-23) 6) On the sixth day of creation, land animals and man were created.

...that, Jacob’s wife, Rachel, was unable to conceive (Genesis 29:31). Jacob at the time lived along with his father-in-law Laban but soon decides that he wants to return to his own county (Genesis 30:25). Jacob then fled and takes all his belongs, wives, and livestock and set out for the land of Canaan where his father, Isaac, lived (Genesis 31:17-18). However, Rachel stole her father’s household gods and took them with her in hope that they would help her become fertile and give Jacob more children (Genesis 31:19). Laban then finds out that Jacob had left in secret and sets out to find him (Genesis 31:22-23). When Laban catches up to Jacob he is furious about Jacobs actions and demands why he has stolen his household Gods (Genesis 31:30). Jacob doesn’t know that Rachel has stolen the gods so he gives Laban permission to search all his belongings and tents (Genesis 31:32). Rachel had hidden the gods in her camel saddle and sat on them so that her father would not find them and did not get up when he came to search her using the excuse that she was menstruating (Genesis 31:34-35). Laban continued his search but found nothing...

...The Prophets Speak Warnings of Unfaithfulness Our Father Yahweh speaks to the prophets concerning issues of their unfaithfulness to Him. Not only in our reading will we discover that through their unfaithfulness of idolatry, social injustice and religious ritualism actions of sinful lust and injustices ways will cause great depression, but will also cause the fall of kingdoms that was blessed to stand strong as kingdoms of God. This action from the people of Judah, cause God to bring judgments of famines and wars on their kingdoms. These very acts of the people defying the Lord God (Yahweh) provoking Him to anger grieved the Lord because of His faithfulness to His people. Yahweh is a God of prosperity, love and growth that is promised to be shown to those who chose to be faithful to Him in their heart and in their ways. But the people of Judah fell into so many sins because of acting on the desires of their sinful hearts. Yahweh had the prophets to go before the people and warn them in so many ways. After the King Josiah’s death 602 B.C the people revolted in idolatry and lawlessness. God commanded the prophets to warn the people of their wicked acts that they were engaging in idolatry. In Hosea’s prophesies; God showed him the house of Israel’s sins through harlotry and idolatry. (Hosea 8:4- 14) They have made kings and princes not by God; God did not acknowledge their detestable idols. They’ve made idols out of silver and gold; their idolatry caused God anger...

...Primitive History and Patriarchal History. The first eleven chapters of Genesis tell an authoritative story about the beginnings of the world by opening with the story of creation. God created the universe and humanity. The Patriarchal history begins with Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve sinned and thereby banished from the Garden of Eden. God sent the Flood to wipe out evil, but delivered Noah and his family along with the animals in the Ark. After the Flood, humanity began again. God chose Abraham to create a chosen people and eventually the Messiah. The chosen line was passed on to Abraham's son Isaac, and then to Isaac's son Jacob. God changed Jacob's name to Israel, and his twelve sons became the ancestors of the twelve tribes of Israel. God had Jacob's son Joseph sent to Egypt by the shameful actions of Joseph's brothers. Eventually things ends up with Jacob and his family being saved from a famine by Joseph, who had risen to a powerful position in Egypt. Exodus The Basic Genre’s of the Book of Exodus are historical and of the law. It is historical because it gives the reader, an account of the birth of Moses, who his adoptive parents were, his early adulthood, and how he leads the Israelites out to bondage.

...many people, such Jacob sent messengers ahead to his brother Esau. Jacob said they shall say “To my lord Esau”. Four hundred men followed Esau as he was approaching his brother Jacob. As Esau was approaching Jacob many people were bowing down to him as if they were worshiping him. Esau seemed very lovingly and friendly because he was very excited to see his brother Jacob. Esau was kissing and hugging, showing a great deal of affection towards his brother. Esau is defined in contrast to Jacob; these two are as different as opposing candidates. /+Esau is a rough and tumble hunter. He is the progenitor of the Edomites and the elder twin brother of Jacob, the patriarch of the Israelites. Esau and Jacob are the sons of Isaac and Rebekah, and the grandsons of Abraham and Sarah. Of the twins, Esau was the first to be born and Jacob following, holding his heel. Esau, a man of the field had rough qualities that distinguished him from his twin brother. Throughout Genesis Esau is frequently shown as being replaced by his younger brother Jacob. Jacob sent multiple gifts to Esau as they approach each other, hoping that Esau would spare his life. Esau refuses the gifts, as he is now very wealthy and does not need them. Esau shows forgiveness in spite of this bitter conflict. The narrator did give some insights about Esau feelings and actions. The narrator was giving insights about how Esau didn’t need Jacobs’s gifts and how he felt about his brother. Jacob was also feeling...

...1. What is the central theme of the Old Testament? To do what’s right and follow the ways of the “all mighty” god. 1. The Old Testament divides into two parts. What are they? The New Testament and the Old Testament. 2. Who are the three patriarchs? Why are they called this? Isaac, Jacob and Abraham. They are used as significant markers by God in revelations and promises. 3. What is a covenant? A binding contract, a legal agreement. 4. Explain the creation story from the Hebrew point-of view. Contrast to the Greek creation story. The Hebrew’s believe that one man (God) created the whole earth. The Greeks believe several gods controlled different parts and things that happen (wind, rain, thunder) to the earth. With both story’s it seems the people just wanted to have something to blame as the cause for an affect. Maybe these are true stories or could simply be a way of explaining the unexplainable in their time periods. 5. How do the Hebrews’ account for evil being in the world? Eating from a tree with knowledge of good and evil and then birthing and populating more people with this knowledge. 6. What is the six fold blessing promised to Abram if he left his country and his people and his father’s house and go to a land “I will show him”?

...According to Sissoko, in the movie La Genese, the issues that are brought out in the book of Genesis chapters 27 to 31 are more or less the issues that African societies grapple with. The stories in the bible are not far from us. In telling the story of Dinah, and by extension the story of Jacob and his sons, he brings out some of the issues that an African family, in the traditional sense, grapples with. Polygamy is a common practise within Africa. In fact across the whole continent, it is an accepted custom, practised by many African communities. Polygamy in Africa is practised for many reasons. The main reason for polygamy was however to keep men, and women, from having extra-marital affairs. Another reason polygamy was practised in Africa was to keep the wives of the family within the family. Where a brother would step in to take care of his brothers’ wife and children in the event of a brother’s death. Jacob was a polygamous man.( Not by choice.) And Sissoko in this movie clearly brings out the conflicts of a polygamous family using Jacob’s family. This comes out in the completion for Jacob’s attention, by the wives, where the wives even give their handmaids to Jacob to get children for Jacob. This movie shows Leah’s frustration at being the rejected wife. The movie starts with Dinah washing Joseph’s cloak, which Leah has asked Dinah to wash hoping it will divert Jacob’s attention from the sorrow of losing his son Joseph, who he thinks is dead, back to his family, that still...
