Genesis 46:10 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the sons Leah bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, [a] besides his daughter Dinah.

Genesis 42:1 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" I may have just found my favorite passage in the Bible. Or at lest my favorite passage in the first 42 chapters and 1 verse of the Bible. To reset […]

Genesis 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made a richly ornamented [a] robe for him. It is amazing to me that Jacob/Israel was one of the Old Testament All-Stars. Don't mean to be sacrilegious, but it […]

Genesis 35:10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, [a] but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel. [b] " So he named him Israel. So Jacob becomes Israel. Jacob of all the lying to his dad and his brother and messing around and fathering kids with two sisters […]

Genesis 27:20 20 Isaac asked his son, "How did you find it so quickly, my son?" "The LORD your God gave me success," he replied. It is verses like this made me start this whole read through the Bible thing. Because here we are nearing the end of the life of Isaac, one of the […]

Genesis 26:9 So Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, "She is really your wife! Why did you say, 'She is my sister'?" Isaac answered him, "Because I thought I might lose my life on account of her." I had to go back and read this a couple of times, because I was thinking "haven't I read […]

Genesis 25:30-31 30 He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (That is why he was also called Edom. [a] ) 31 Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright." This has probably got to qualify as the biggest "what was I thinking" moment in the history of mankind. […]
