Genesis 48:14 But Israel reached out his right hand and put it on Ephraim's head, though he was the younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left hand on Manasseh's head, even though Manasseh was the firstborn. God is God and I am not. I have trouble with that sometimes. Because I am so […]

Genesis 32:25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Huh? Jacob is preparing to meet Esau for the first time in 20 years, so he sends his wive(s), maidservant(s), children, etc, across the […]

Genesis 32 Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom. Meanwhile back at the ranch… When we last saw Esau back in Genesis chapter 27, Jacob had just conned his brother out of his blessing, and then hightailed it out of town. 20 years […]
