Genesis 35-37 Let Us Do a Quick Review of What Has Happened Thus Far P a g e | 1 Genesis 35-37 Let us do a quick review of what has happened thus far. Jacob finally breaks free of his Uncle Laban’s scheming. He journeys home to face his brother Esau. But before he encounters his brother, he has a wrestling match with God and loses, and during the fight he realizes who he is up against, and he clung to God and asked for Him to Bless him. God does, and now Jacob’s name is changed to Israel, which means Governed by God. He faces his brother, they make up, and Jacob still a schemer, says I’ll catch up to you bro go ahead. And Jacob goes a different way. He does not go to Bethel, which as we will see tonight should have been his destination, but stops off near Shechem. Well he instead of being the spiritual leader of his household, kind of leaves his children to themselves. Dinah his little princess makes friends with the girls of Shechem. They teach her their provocative ways, and she than catches the eye of the prince Shechem. P a g e | 2 Now in the Canaanite lands the men would not think twice to have sex with whomever they wanted. Especially a prince, he did not know the customs, and morals of Dinah’s people. And he rapes her, and falls in love with her, and wants to marry her. Well then her brothers are infuriated. Simeon and Levi make a scandalous deal with the people of Shechem, if they circumcise every male they will intermarry with them. They instead on the 3rd day, the most painful day of this procedure go in and in revenge kill every male of the city. And Jacob now worries the Canaanites all over the land will now come against them. So this is where our story picks up. Jacob's Return to Bethel 35:1 Then God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother." So God tells Jacob go to the place where we met before. P a g e | 3 It seems Jacob may have forgotten the promises of God. His household is not in order. His daughter befriended the pagans of the area; two of his sons were murderers and creating enemies. It seems Jacob, once again has become independent and is trying to go through life without God’s purpose and plans. He has forgotten God’s Will for his life, and is now trying to make his own way. How many of us have experienced this? You were once walking with God, experiencing His Love, and Plan for your lives. Then somehow, usually because things start going good, you feel you can step out on your own, you kind of got things figured out. But instead of doing better you thrash things. Your life is full of turmoil because you are making mistake after mistake. Well learn as Jacob does. Go back to your first love. I like what Jesus tells the church in Ephesus… P a g e | 4 Rev 2:4-6 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place — unless you repent. This is the awesome thing about our God. He offers a one step program to get back on track. Repent, come back to Him. If you are finding yourself tonight away from God. Listen to Him, learn as Jacob did, and go back to Bethel, return to your first love. Amen? 2 And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments. 3 Then let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone." 4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem. So Jacob finally man’s up here. He takes charge of his household. P a g e | 5 He tells them to change their clothes, stop dressing like the harlots of the region, and stop dressing like the culture. Put on morality. He also demands all their foreign fake gods. How did his family get so far from Yahweh, in such a short period of time? Well it does not take long for us to be consumed by this world when that is all we consume ourselves with. You cannot play in both systems. Living like the world will ultimately destroy you. I pray we like Jacob’s family will choose today whom you will follow, the One True Living God, or your little worthless gods from this world. Jacob cleaned house, I pray some of us can be moved to do the same tonight… Look at how Jacob begins to regain focus here. He takes the Phil. 4:8 approach. Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things. P a g e | 6 You see a wonderful thing to do when we find our self in despair or grief from our choices, is to recall the promises of God, and the faithfulness of God. As Jacob says here about his God, who answered him in the day of his distress and has been with him in the way which he has gone." Jacob recalls God’s faithfulness even when he was unfaithful to God. And this thought gets his family moving in the right direction, the rid themselves of the idolatry in their own lives. 5 And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities that were all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob. 6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him. 7 And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God appeared to him when he fled from the face of his brother. But there is still tragedy of Jacob’s choices here, remember he and his family are supposed be the ones that all the nations are blessed by. He is supposed to be a witness to the graciousness of God, the goodness of God. P a g e | 7 And because he failed to rule his home rightly, as Jacob feared the nations are angry with him and his family, so that God will have to be known by His terror to protect Jacob and his calling. These people will not be drawn in by Jacob’s witness, but because of Jacob’s failure we see God has to supernaturally step in to preserve Jacob’s family line. So God has put fear into all those who Jacob was worried about coming to kill him. All the surrounding cities must have heard what Jacob’s sons did to Shechem, and God put fear into them. And this might not be what God had intended, non- the-less, God’s Word will be true, so He supernaturally protects this Patriarch of promise. God will protect His anointed. And Jacob builds an alter in Bethel, and calls it El Bethel, which means God of the House of God. He has returned to his first love. And he will try to finish out his sunset years right. He is growing old, and with age comes wisdom, and as we know wisdom comes from failure a lot of the time. Jacob has failed much in his life, but he is determined to finish well. P a g e | 8 And we see through his mistakes he will try to guide his family right, and set the right example. So maybe you are in your sunset years here tonight, your children are older, you made many mistakes in life. Maybe you were a horrible parent, you failed in marriage, well be encouraged by Jacob, who shows us it is not too late to return to Bethel. As long as you have breath in your lungs, you can still find grace from God. So now as often happens in the Sunset years, we have to say goodbye to loved ones, and we see someone who the family loves here pass away. 8 Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth. Now this nurse must have been someone important to Jacob, maybe she helped raise him. Because she is mentioned here, and her death brings great sorrow. They name the tree at her burial site is Allon Bachuth which means Weeping Terebinth tree. 9 Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said to P a g e | 9 him, "Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name." So He called his name Israel.

  • Genesis Chapter 36
    Genesis Chapter 36 Verses 36:1-43: This chapter lists the wives of Esau (verses 1-3), the sons of Esau (verses 4-5), the enormous wealth (verses 6-8), and the descendants of Esau, and Seir, the Horite. Their families intermarried (verses 9-42). From (36:1-37:1), we see the genealogy of Esau. In verses 1-19: The taking up of the history of Jacob (37:2), the next patriarch, is preceded by a detailed genealogy of Esau, to which is appended both the genealogy of Seir the Horite, whose descendants were the contemporary inhabitants of Edom and a listing of Edomite kings and chiefs. Jacob’s and Esau’s posterities, as history would go on to show, would not be in isolation from each other as originally intended (verses 6-8). They were to become bitter enemies engaged with each other in war. Genesis 36:1 "Now these [are] the generations of Esau, who [is] Edom." "Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom": Who was surnamed Edom, from the red pottage he sold his birthright for to his brother Jacob (Genesis 25:30). An account is given of him, and his posterity, not only because he was a son of Isaac. Lately made mention of as concerned in his burial; but because his posterity would be often taken notice of in the sacred Scriptures, and so their genealogy would serve to illustrate such passages. Maimonides thinks the principal reason is, that whereas Amalek, a branch of Esau's family, were to be destroyed by an express command of God, it was necessary that all the rest should be particularly described, lest they should all perish together.

  • Interpretation of the Book of Genesis
    INTERPRETATION OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS BY FATHER TADROS Y. MALATY Translated by Dr. George Botros 2 3 4 AUTHOR’ S NOTE: The Word of God is the food granted by the Holy Spirit to the Church of Christ, to let her live continually renovated in spiritual youth; practicing no incapacity of old age or perishability. My good Lord gave me the grace, during the last few years, to study the Word of God, as experienced by the fathers of the early Church, as Spirit and Life. I began by going through meditations and interpretations of these fathers, in the hope that we also would live with the Spirit and thought of the early Church; enjoying, by the Holy Spirit, the Word of God active in us, until it raises us up to our heavenly Groom “The divine Word”, who is to come on the clouds, to grant us the fellowship of His glories, and to enter with us into the bosom of His Father, to be eternally with Him in His heavens. If I did not commit myself, in my interpretation, to the order of succession of the books as they come in the Holy Bible; My goal was not to author a comprehensive series of interpretations, but to enter with every soul into the secret place of the Word, and to enjoy Him as an eternal Groom, who fills the heart and mind and all the inner depths.

  • Notes on Numbers 202 1 Edition Dr
    Notes on Numbers 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE The title the Jews used in their Hebrew Old Testament for this book comes from the fifth word in the book in the Hebrew text, bemidbar: "in the wilderness." This is, of course, appropriate since the Israelites spent most of the time covered in the narrative of Numbers in the wilderness. The English title "Numbers" is a translation of the Greek title Arithmoi. The Septuagint translators chose this title because of the two censuses of the Israelites that Moses recorded at the beginning (chs. 1—4) and toward the end (ch. 26) of the book. These "numberings" of the people took place at the beginning and end of the wilderness wanderings and frame the contents of Numbers. DATE AND WRITER Moses wrote Numbers (cf. Num. 1:1; 33:2; Matt. 8:4; 19:7; Luke 24:44; John 1:45; et al.). He apparently wrote it late in his life, across the Jordan from the Promised Land, on the Plains of Moab.1 Moses evidently died close to 1406 B.C., since the Exodus happened about 1446 B.C. (1 Kings 6:1), the Israelites were in the wilderness for 40 years (Num. 32:13), and he died shortly before they entered the Promised Land (Deut. 34:5). There are also a few passages that appear to have been added after Moses' time: 12:3; 21:14-15; and 32:34-42. However, it is impossible to say how much later. 1See the commentaries for fuller discussions of these subjects, e.g., Gordon J.

  • The Unforgiven Ones
    The Unforgiven Ones 1 God These are the generations of Esau (that is, Edom). 2 Esau took his wives from the Canaanites: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, Oholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite, 3 and Basemath, Ishmael's daughter, the sister of Nebaioth. 4 And Adah bore to Esau, Eliphaz; Basemath bore Reuel; 5 and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan. 6 Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob. 7 For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together. The land of their sojournings could not support them because of their livestock. 8 So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.) 9 These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. 10 These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau. 11 The sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. 12 (Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau's wife. 13 These are the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah.

Without understanding a writer's aim, we may derive much information from his book ; but we shall certainly miss many of his points, and be at a distinct disadvantage as readers. It is not without reason, therefore, that among the first questions we put about a book is this, What is the author's aim ? This question cannot always be answered from one perusal, sometimes not from many perusals. And hence it has become the familiar custom of literary men to introduce their books to the public by means of a preface, in which they indicate their object in publishing, and put their readers in an attitude of intelligence towards what is to follow.

  • Jethro the Convert
    JETHRO THE CONVERT MOSHE REISS INTRODUCTION There is no evidence of any formal conversion process in the Torah. People who wanted to join the nation of Israel left home and lived with the Israelites, 1 thus demonstrating their new affiliation. In the post exilic era we begin to find possible evidence of some form of conversion (Esth. 8:17). Historically, "conversion became common in the centuries after the Babylonian 2 Conquest." Salo Baron estimated the Jewish population at the time of the destruction of the First Temple at 150,000, and by the time of the Second 3 Temple's destruction at eight million. That would require extensive conversions between these periods; when there was little growth in the world population. JETHRO THE OUTSIDER Jethro is introduced in Exodus 2, where he marries off his daughter Zipporah to Moses. His status as a proselyte is connected to a much later appearance, in Exodus 18, when he brings Moses' wife and sons to join the Israelites after their escape from slavery in Egypt. At this reunion, Moses tells Jethro how God took action against the Egyptians. Jethro gives thanks to God for delivering Moses and the Israelite people, and then proclaims: 'Now I know that the Lord is greater than all the gods' (Ex. 18:11). This statement was seen by rabbinic commentators as an indication of Jethro's conversion to Judaism (TB Zevahim 116a; Sanhedrin 103b-104a). The timing of Jethro's arrival is a matter for discussion by the commentators, since it is stated that he meets Moses at the mount of God (Ex.

I have sent to tell my lord, in order that I may find favor in your sight.’” 6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and he is coming to meet you, and there are four hundred men with him.” 7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed. He divided the people who were with him, and the flocKs and herds and camels, into two camps, 8 thinKing, “If Esau comes to the one camp and attacKs it, then the camp that is left will escape.” 9 And Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your kindred, that I may do you good,’ 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. 11 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau, for I fear him, that he may come and attack me, the mothers with the children.
