Genesis 32 - 34

GenesisSteve Gregg
In Genesis 32-34, Jacob prepares to meet his estranged brother Esau after years of rivalry. He wrestles with a divine being, is renamed Israel, and reconciles with Esau, who surprisingly welcomes him with warmth. However, the story of Dinah's rape by the prince of Shechem and her brothers' violent retaliation culminates in the exclusion of Simeon and Levi from receiving inheritance in Jacob's later patriarchal blessings, with Judah eventually receiving the birthright. Through these events, we see how surrendering to God is pivotal in receiving His blessings, and how God can use difficult circumstances to make individuals fully dependent on Him.
