In today’s reading of Tyndale’s OYCSB (with featured content written by the CBT team),
- The story of Scripture traces the genealogies through Abraham’s three wives. Remember, God is telling His story to the Hebrews who have just come out of their slavery in Egypt. He wants them to know who He is, and He desires that they understand who they are. He is Creator. He promised a Seed to Eve who would one day remove the results of sin forever. He entered into covenant with Abraham to fulfill this promise for every family on the earth. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is their God, and they are His people.
- The story of the Seed of Promise continues with details about Jacob and Esau. God tells this story in great detail because of its worldview-shaping importance both for the Hebrews in the wilderness and all generations after.
