MODULE 4: SESSION 16: Judah’s Offering
The Hebrew words for “divination” and “snake,” nakhash, are spelled with the same letters. Yoseph’s cup of divination identifies him as the disguised tester, but instead of a trap, his test provides an opportunity for his brothers to do the right thing. Throughout Genesis, when the son is lost through…

MODULE 4: SESSION 15: The Brothers Return to Egypt
The phrase “see my face” (Genesis 43:3, 5) links Yoseph and his brothers to the reconciliation of Yaaqov and Esau, which points to the larger reality of reconciliation with God. Yehudah offers his own life as a substitute for the beloved son. This is what rescues the family from death and…

Africa Activity 4 months agoMODULE 1: Session 3 - The ancient shape of scriptures
I have learnt that the ancient Hebrew Bible was grouped into 3 main categories namely; Torah (Law), Nevi’im (Prophets) and Ketuvim (Writings). It’s interesting to see Jesus sums the whole book according to this categorization when He said “written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” – Luke 24:44. Obviously this…

Great post, @danielocran
I love how his singular statement of Jesus sheds light on the unity and authenticity of the scriptures.

Yes, I like this “He said “written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms” – Luke 24:44. ” Everything written is about an anointed representative, passing through death, resurrected, and redeemed the mankind. It is all about Jesus.

MODULE 4: SESSION 14: Jacob’s Lost Sons
Reuven laments that their brother’s blood is required of them, activating a pattern of innocent blood crying out to God for justice that stretches all the way back to Cain and Abel in Genesis 4. Yoseph’s translator is called a “mediator,” the same word used to describe the prophets who stand in the…

MODULE 4: Joseph Tests His Brothers
SESSION 13: The Brothers God Down to Egypt
Binyamin has replaced Yoseph in his father’s heart as the beloved son. When Yoseph meets his brothers again, he turns their betrayal back on them, deceiving them and throwing them into prison. But ultimately, his aim is to test them. Yoseph accuses his brothers of…

Africa Activity 4 months agoEXODUS OVERVIEW
MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Hard Heart
Pharaoh’s heart is described in two ways: heavy, implying that he was guilty of injustice, and hard, meaning “resolute.” God knew Pharaoh would resist, but he gave him many chances. Pharaoh’s evil reaches a point of no return, so God bends Pharaoh’s evil to his purposes and lures him into his own destruction.

Many are the devices of men but at the end of the day, only the counsel of God shall prevail. God had a will, and Pharaoh also had a will opposite to that of God but the agenda of God overcame that of man.

MODULE 2: SESSION 8: Signs and Wonders
The plagues function symbolically as de-creation. The plagues point beyond themselves to later events in Exodus. The plagues serve as a warning and reminder of the disastrous non-life state outside the people’s covenant relationship with Yahweh.

The first decreation happened in Genesis 7, and here God promised never to do it.

Great Knowledge!

Obviously both translations and paraphrase help in interpretation but paraphrased texts risk deviation from context.
