Genesis 35 - 37
GenesisSteve Gregg
In Steve Gregg's exposition of Genesis 35-37, we see Jacob's return to the Promised Land and the introduction of Joseph as the main character. Jacob fulfills a promise to God at Bethel and purifies his household of foreign gods. Reuben's controversial act of sleeping with his father's concubine puts his inheritance at risk. Genesis 36 lists the descendants of Esau in detail, including the Horites whom Esau conquered. The inclusion of family records indicates historical information rather than mythology. Joseph is favored by Jacob and his dreams of ruling over his brothers make them hate him even more. Eventually, Joseph is sold into slavery by his own brothers but saved from death by Reuben.
