Genesis 23 Vs Genesis 25: 23
To Compare scripture with scripters serves to confirm what the Bible says agrees with what the other book of the Bible says.The scriptures always work together and improve understanding. We can refer to other books of the Bible in comparison to some verses in Genesis 25:19-34.
Genesis 25:23 (NIV) The LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”
Genesis 25:23 (ASV) And Jehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels. And the one people shall be stronger than the other people. And the elder shall serve the younger.

    God's Words To Rebekah In Genesis 25

    Genesis 25 is primarily written in prose, but God’s words to Rebekah in poetic form about her pregnancy emphasize the importance of what He is saying to her and the fate of her sons. The poem reads, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger” (Gen. 25:23). God has foretold that the two brothers will have numerous descendants that are able to form two nations, but he does not explain why they will be in conflict. As is common in the Bible, the younger son achieves superiority over his elder brother. There is an odd choice of words in this poem though. By saying that Esau will “serve” Jacob it implies that he will forever be in his shadow, however they are separated for many years and Esau was never submissive toward Jacob. Nonetheless, God’s words to her about her sons could explain why Rebekah favored Jacob and why she helped him deceive Isaac. The favoritism Jacob and Esau’s parents show also has a great significance on how their lives will transpire.…

    Genesis 25-36: The Story Of Jacob

    This is evident at birth when Jacob is born holding on to the heel of Esau. By order of birth Esau was entitled to the birthright; however, the promise of blessings was on the life of Jacob. Jacob and Esau had two different personalities. Esau was a hairy man, while Jacob was hairless. Esau was favored by Isaac because “he had a taste for game” (Genesis 25: 28), meaning Jacob was something Isaac was not or could not have been. Esau had a more carefree personality; he did not take much serious; including his birth right. Many stories of the birthright would say that Jacob stole the birthright; however, it seems as if Esau freely gave his birthright in exchange for food. Esau did not understand the importance of his birthright, but Jacob did. Jacob realized the significance of being born first and the bible even says in verse 34 Esau despised his birthright. Jacob stole the blessing from Esau during his father’s death. Esau felt that his father favored him. He may have even felt that God favored Jacob, because Jacob got his birthright and now got the final blessing from his father. Esau eventually has enough and tried to kill him.…

    Esau is the elder twin brother of Jacob and were the sons of Isaac and Rebekah. They were also the grandsons of Abraham and Sarah. The book of Genesis, “identifies Isaac as God’s chosen son of the promise as well as Isaac’s youngest son Jacob.” (Towns, 1996) The theme of dishonesty happens repeatedly through the course of Jacob’s life. Jacob deceives his father Isaac and took the blessing from under his Brother Esau’s nose. Jacob departed from his home to a town named Haran, which was his mother’s ancestral home. Jacob then married Leah and Rachael, which produce twelve children. God came to Jacob in a dream and revealed the angelic stairs, which was perceive as gate of heaven, in the eyes of Jacob. From that point on Jacob vowed that the Lord will be the God he serve. The book of Genesis is where this particular story is found. The author of the book of Genesis is Moses. The setting of this story takes place in Israel. The Abrahamic covenant included Jacob and his father and Jacob’s twelve son’s. The Abrahamic covenant was a treaty between Abraham and God. The promises, land, seed, and blessings were to be given to the descendants of Abraham.…

    The Portrayal of Women to Men in Genesis

    For the past two-thousand years, the Book of Genesis has served as work of literature to the western civilization. Whether people believed in the Bible or not, the Book of Genesis tell stories they talk about having good morals, teaching live-learned lessons and overall it gives a glimpse of how the first human being acted when the world was developing and how they handle problems and situations. However, even though the book of Genesis shows a tone of life long morals, Genesis also shows the different sides of humans. Genesis shows how human can be deceitful, evil, and disobedient to authority figures. But these traits with humans were rarely displayed by man, but mostly by woman. In the book of Genesis, woman are displayed obstacles and road blocks to these undermining and broad goals through God‘s plan . From the beginning of the book with Garden of Eden to the ending of the story of Joseph, women, as mothers and wives are typically portrayed disloyal, undependable mischievous or, just simply for their womanhood, and they frequently threaten to undermine God's will than men. This portrayal is done because women were not considered equal to man and man was the only thing that God intended to create. Women in Genesis were set as these archetypes that God wanted them to be, but in the narrative its they are shown otherwise.…

    The Bible As Depicted In Shakespeare's Short Stories

    The Bible, similar to Shakespeare's works, is a resource for scholars to use to further underline whatever topic they are attempting to pass on. Scriptural suggestions are regularly used to highlight a dissimilarity or interruption in human instinct. The Bible is a book of ethics, lessons, and convictions so when an essayist insinuates certain stories, he or she is indicating how certain ethics or beliefs from years prior can show up again in the current times. By implying the Bible, the author permits his bit of writing to resound with numerous individuals and in addition indicate how certain standards can stick with it or change inside of people.…

    Genesis and Popol Vuh

    The story Genesis has a Hebrew God and has the views of a monotheistic world. God created heaven, earth, and all of the creatures and humans in seven days. On the seven day was when he rested. “And he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.” (Page 66, Genesis).

    Brothers of the Bible

    Cain and Abel were in a situation much more unique than Esau and Jacob, and Joseph and his brothers faced, for the society they lived in was extremely small, and they each had a direct relationship with God. As the book of Genesis tells us, Cain was the first born son of Adam and Eve. Their next son was a boy whom they named Abel. As Cain and Abel grew up both took responsibilities for making a living. Abel took care of the sheep and Cain became a farmer. (Genesis 4:7)…

    Babylonian Creation vs. Israelite Creation

    In the Genesis story of the Hebrew Scriptures the events that occur are a bit different from the Babylonian text, that were previously described, but according to People of the Covenant, there is a similarity—they have similar cosmological views. Both have the element of chaos and both deal with a void that was present at the beginning of creation, light is introduced and Earthly elements begin to take shape. (Smith, 109) 2 The most obvious difference is that for Israel, God was the sole creator of the universe, while the Babylonians more or less personified and deified the created…

    Bible Inerrancy

    Bible Inerrancy

    Under the doctrine of biblical inerrancy, in what sense is the Bible authoritative? This is a question that has plagued the minds of many as a major element of historic Christian belief about Scripture as well as been a controversial topic of academic discussions. One of the major areas of conflict in the theological arena has been biblical authority as noted in a poll of the members of the Evangelical Theological Society. Conflict is not the only issue, because according to L. Russ Bush, many theologians and Bible teachers seem to be uncomfortable with the concept of inerrancy. Bush also points out that the semantic problems of biblical inerrancy are subject to misunderstanding which could be overcome if those misunderstandings concerning the definition or word usage were really all the problem there was. Conflict, uncomfortable, and misunderstanding of a concept are a great recipe mix for the concept to be challenged and tried. The inerrancy of the autographs of Scripture was challenged and tried as early as 1880 in the published works of Augustus Briggs. An even earlier controversy over the issue of the authoritative inspired book of biblical inerrancy was noted concerning the widely influential 1678 work of Richard Simon. Research on the topic of the inspired, inerrant scriptural authority is important in the sense that it evokes acceptance, respect and obedience. It appears that the study of biblical inerrancy and divine inspiration is warranted because of the continued and consistent controversy regarding both.…

    Exegesis of Genesis 22:1-19

    The biblical context of Genesis, divides it into two sections. Genesis 1-10 describes the creation story and the flood. Genesis 11-50 provides the genealogy of Abraham’s family, back to Noah, followed by the tradition of the earliest ancestors of Israel (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob known as the ‘Patriarchs’) wherein their faith is rooted and articulated (Brueggemann, 2003:43.) It is essentially a book of promises, a preface to the history of the Israel; identifying the nation of Israel and its God (Barton 2001:39).In Genesis 12 we see God choosing Abram, like Noah. A relationship ensues whereby Abram obediently follows God’s commands. God graciously acts in his life, providing him with a much wanted son and heir from his barren wife, Sarai. Abram pleases God who establishes covenants (God initiated agreements with man (Holdsworth 2005:59) with him, renaming him Abraham (and his wife Sarah); making them founders of the nation of Israel. The final chapter finds Jacob and his family in Egypt; precluding a central storyline the ‘Exodus’ ;the foundation of Jewish history and faith (Barton…
