    MODULE 5: SESSION 25: Jacob’s Silence

    In the aftermath of Shechem’s crime, Yaaqov’s silence and inaction creates a void that his sons fill with vengeful violence. The biblical authors tell the story of Yaaqov’s sons’ treachery with links to the flood narrative, but this is a nightmare version of God’s just judgment and reconciliation through covenant.

    MODULE 5: SESSION 22: God Wrestles With Jacob

    The letters of Yaaqov’s name are littered throughout the narrative where his name is changed. The judgment that Yaaqov faces, being wounded in his striving against God, comes to its ultimate fulfillment in the suffering of the Messiah on our behalf. The biblical authors depict the true-to-life…

    MODULE 2: SESSION 14: Burden of Leadership

    Two conversations with Jethro frame Israel’s deliverance story (Exodus 4 and 18). Jethro represents the first of many nations who will acknowledge Yahweh’s greatness because of his victory over Pharaoh. It seems noble of Moses to shoulder the burden of all the people, but it’s unwise. We…
