What I love about the Bible is that the various authors go out of their way to make sure that they give the entire story about the characters, both positive and negative, righteous and sinful. It can be tempting to tell a story about someone and only give the good parts to paint the person in the best light possible. But the Bible is full of humanness, as we’ve seen from this weeks reading.
Gen
31 Jacob parts from Laban
32 Jacob wrestles and is renamed
33 Jacob and Esau reunite
34 Dinah and her brother’s revenge
35 Jacob goes back to his roots
36 Esau’s lineage
37 Joseph has dreams and is betrayed by his brothers
38 Judah gets Tamar pregnant
