MODULE 2: Isaac’s Story and Jacob’s Deception
SESSION 6: Isaac Deceives Abimelech
God renews his promise to Yitskhaq, echoing the covenants made to previous generations. The unusual phrase “on the heel of” means “because.” It recalls the heel of the snake crusher in Genesis 3:15, while keeping Yaaqov the heel grabber on our minds as the story…

MODULE 1: SESSION 5: Jacob Tricks Esau
The Hebrew word tam means whole or complete and is used to describe people of moral integrity. Describing Yaaqov as a “smooth man” has a double meaning: This contrasts his appearance with that of his brother, but it also links his deceitful actions with a developing theme of tricksters and deceivers…

We continue to see Satan handiwork repeatedly, all because of self-gain!

MODULE 1: SESSION 4: The Birth of Esau and Jacob
The Yaaqov story offers a raw look at human nature, with deception central to each of its three movements. Yaaqov’s story is a tragedy marked by his repeated scheming attempts to secure blessing for himself instead of trusting God and extending blessing to those around him. God’s words mark…

Great! You are very right! Judging from Jacob’s behavior, no one would have ever thought that he would be the one God would choose.

MODULE 2: SESSION 6: Man in the Field
The narrative hinges on Yoseph’s encounter with the man in the field. If Yoseph had not met this man, he and his entire family would have died in the famine. For the biblical authors, every moment of human existence is woven into God’s plan for creation. The Midianites and Ishmaelites become entagled…

MODULE 2: Joseph’s Dream and Hostile Brothers
SESSION 5: Joseph’s Dream
Yaaqov’s favoritism of Rachel over Leah resurfaces in his preference for Yoseph. In both scenarios, this favoritism leads to strife and division. The meaning of the Hebrew word passim, often translated as “many colors,” is unclear. The biblical authors link…

You are very correct, Mr. David! The separation of Joseph and his brother is a clear hyperlink to the story of Cain and Abel!

MODULE 1: SESSION 4: A Tale of Two Seeds
The Hebrew word toledot translates to “birth-generations,” and it serves as an important structural marker throughout Genesis as the story traces chosen and non-chosen family lines. Working out the implications of Genesis 3:15, the rest of the book prepares readers of the Hebrew Bible to be on the…

Our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, from the Book of Luke , gave a narrative of a man who failed to build
his tower because of lack of preparation, Hence the title of the lesson was
“Preparation for Interpretation” .We firstly focused on the need for Holy
Spirit based Dependence and lastly focused on the need for the need for… Read more-
We need the help of the Holy Spirit; if not, our effort will be futile and yield no result. The Holy Spirit leads in interpretation and empowers the result of the Interpretation.

Lesson one
Hermeneutics is a word used to describe the study of how the scriptures are interpreted. This word is derived from the name of a Greek messenger of the gods, Hermes, it is also related to the word hermeneuo meaning to “interpret, explain”. Hermeneutics appears in many fields of study but, as of us we are mainly concerned with…

Great! Getting the author’s original intent about a passage is the beginning of understanding that passage.

CHAPTER FOUR
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
In this chapter, among the many great things that I have learnt, prequisites to Bible study is what had stood out for me, and also what one needs to do in order to grow in the knowledge of God (move from milk to meat of the word of God).
A prequisite is something that one needs to…

MODULE 1: SESSION 3: The Shape of Biblical Literature
The Bible is ancient Jewish meditation literature, expertly crafted according to a set of design conventions that are unfamiliar to most modern readers. The biblical authors build connections and add layers of meaning by crafting this literature in sets (most commonly, sets of three)…
