JACOB

MODULE 1: A Deceiver is Born

SESSION 1: Jacob in the Biblical Imagination

The Bible mentions Yaaqov/Yisrael thousands of times, highlighting the importance of his story for the people who bear his name. Yaaqov’s story gives, in seed form, a preview of the story that his descendants will experience from Exodus through the end of the Hebrew Bible. The prophets and New Testament authors employ Yaaqov’s story as a lens to help understand their own story.
