JACOB

MODULE 6: SESSION 28: Jacob and Esau Part Ways

The brothers, Yaaqov and Esau, cannot dwell together in unity because they have too much wealth, most of it obtained through deception. The genealogies in Genesis show us that the narrative is laser-focused on tracing the lineage of the hoped-for messianic king who will crush the snake. The Yaaqov story explores the nuance and complexity of human motives in a way that is truly unique in the Hebrew Bible.
