MODULE 3: SESSION 17: No Other Gods
The Ten Commandments are given in the context of God rescuing and restoring his people, which is about moving them into freedom. There are different traditions for numbering the Ten Commandments. The command that forbids making idols recalls the role humans have as the image of God.

God’s people must be different, but in our world, we do not know who is who!

MODULE 3: SESSION 16: Law as Mission
The Israelites were set free from oppression before they received the law. The law was not a means of earning God’s compassion or protection. The law was not a burden. The law was seen as a mark of God’s favor and a special distinction for the people of Israel. The law was likely given in…

MODULE 6: SESSION 27: The Death of Rachel and Isaac
Rakhel’s difficult labor recalls both the promise of a victorious seed and the dire consequences for the woman in Genesis 3:15-16. Reuben’s sexual assault against Bilhah is another instance in a pattern of illicit sex used in a grab for power. The four burials in Genesis 35 each recall…

MODULE 6: SESSION 26: Jacob Returns to Bethel
Yaaqov’s return to Bethel is a re-creation moment in the pattern of themes. He and his family are shedding the trappings of their Mesopotamian identity to be defined only by God’s promise. As precious liquids that come from garden plants, wine and oil are Eden images. And pouring them out to…

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.

This will happen to anyone who refuses to stay where God said he/she should stay!

MODULE 5: SESSION 24: The Oppression of Dinah
Yaaqov’s sons begin to repeat his deceptive pattern whereby after hearing about the despicable behavior of the sons of the land violating their sister, they remained quiet as if nothing happened. To everyone’s surprise they later on arose and killed all the male from the family of Khamor as a…

MODULE 5: SESSION 23: The Reunion of Jacob and Esau
After his wrestling match with God, Yaaqov, the wounded servant, sacrifices himself on behalf of everything he holds dear. Esau’s reaction to Yaaqov’s return, running to him and embracing him, points forward to Jesus’ parable of the loving father embracing his prodigal son. Yaaqov…

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…
