    C. In this chapter I believe the author is trying to show the reader that it was too late for Isaac to do anything and I think Isaac was in shock at the end of the chapter because he truly believed that nothing of that magnitude was going to happen. He believed that he knew everything was going to be fine and that it would all turn out okay. All this makes be believe that if you are too arrogant and you never change your ways of not being so arrogant then you could be lead into some very bad things.…

    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.…

    The Lord raised up a deliverer by the name of Othneil. (Caleb’s younger brother). Othneil Helped the Israelites rise up and overtake Cushan-Rishathaim. The Lord gave his people forty years of peace. But again the Israelites “Did evil in the eyes of the Lord”. Because of their sin, the Lord gave them over to Eglon, the king of Moab. Joining up with Eglon, the Amalakites, and Ammonites came and attacked Israel. The Israelites were subject to the King of Moab for eighteen years. Israel cried out and this time God sent Ehud, a left handed Benjaminite. Ehud made a double- edged sword and placed the sheath on his right thigh under his clothes. He went before Eglon and presented him with a gift. He then told the king of a secret message that he had for him. The king wanted to be alone. So when they were, Ehud drew his sword and drove it through the king’s stomach. He locked the doors as he let and had time to escape to Seirah, where he blew a trumpet and led the Israelites to the land God had given them. After this they struck down ten thousand Moabites. The land had peace for 80…

    With every test and story, Abraham wrestled and challenged God by asking questions. For instance, Abraham had a son with Hagar after long awaiting on the promise child of God with Sarah, illustrating that even Abraham doubted God’s extraordinary promises. However, in the end Abraham wholeheartedly trusted God and God’s plans for his life, a special relationship that continues in present day Judaism. Abraham’s embodiment of the virtue of obedience was practiced in word and deed, being an example for other believers to be a hearer and doer of the Judaism faith. As seen in this story, piety to God leads to obedience. His obedience was his function of his piety, meaning Abraham was dutiful because he was devout and .faithful. This suggest that the Judaism faith has an element of causality, which is summarized in the Judaism retribution theology that God will reward those who follow his commands and punishes those who disobey them as seen in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.. Due to his unwavering faith to do as God commanded him, God did as promised: made him the father of a great people, gave him numerous descendants/ land, and a relationship with Him (…

    In the story of Abraham and Isaac the story was meant to edify. Edify is supposed to improve on someone’s moral and intellectual knowledge.

On the other hand, Abraham was there to sacrifice is son that he loved very because that is what god wanted.

    Kierkegaard

    One would be hard-pressed to find a man who would willingly hike up a mountain for three days just to sacrifice his son like nothing more than an animal. In fact, nowadays, anyone who does such a thing would probably be locked up in jail for the rest of his life. However, in Genesis 22, this is exactly what Abraham does. The Bible recounts the story of how Abraham receives a command from God to sacrifice Isaac, his son. Without hesitation, Abraham, Isaac, and two servants climb up Mount Moriah. On the third day, Abraham restrains Isaac on an altar and raises his knife, ready to plunge it into Isaac’s heart. Of course, this is not considered ethical human behavior, neither now nor then; however, despite this breach of ethical conduct, Abraham is often called “the father of faith.” This seems like a clear paradox—how can a religious, faithful man be willing to commit such a heinous crime? It is a complex issue and the main topic of Søren Kierkegaard’s Fear and Trembling. The book explores the story of Abraham and Isaac and the implications that it has for our faith, concluding with the idea that having a true relationship of faith with God means sacrificing your ethics, your relationships, and even your rationality. However, although Kierkegaard’s text provides valuable insight and criticism on the practice of religion and faith, in the end, it contradicts itself on the importance of the Biblical text it is derived from, weakening the premise of the argument.…
