WOF 316: Understanding Genesis: Jacob

<p>Friends, today we continue our "Word on Fire Show" series on how to understand Genesis by focusing on Jacob, the son of Isaac and a patriarch of the ancient Jews.</p> <p>How should we understand his early struggle with Esau, the famous "Jacob's ladder," and his mysterious wrestling match and name change? That's what we discuss today.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>A listener asks, why is it that we just got this information from God, from the Bible, only 2,000 years ago? What happened to all those people who lived before the Bible?</p> <h2><strong>Links</strong></h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://wordonfire.institute">Word on Fire Institute</a></li> </ul> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong><em>NOTE:</em></strong> <em>Do you like this podcast? <a href="https://www.patreon.com/bishopbarron">Become a patron</a> and get some great perks for helping, like free books, bonus content, and more.
