    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…

    Obedience In Abraham's Journey

    Abraham reflects this idea of imitatio dei or emulation of God by setting a paradigm to be followed, one that is worthy of imitation (Levine). By striving to immolate a representative or prophet of God, Jews are helping themselves to greater immediacy with connection to God. They are drawing near to God by immolating his agents on earth. This reoccurring idea of being tested throughout Abraham’s journey, from rejecting the idolatry religion of his father Terach to undergoing painful circumcision at 99 years of age and so on, Abraham demonstrates that followers of God should do what they are asked especially if one is convicted by the existence of a perfect Creator. At the end of Genesis 11, the genealogy listed Abraham as the new hope for…

    Abram's Influence On American Culture

    God promised Abram that He would make him into a great nation and five times God says He will bless him. God further pronounces, “And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). The land Abram went to is believed to be Canaan, which is now modern-day Israel. Abram was promised by God that He would give him and his descendants this land (Gen. 12:7). The time Abram left from Ur to go to Canaan was around 20th – 19th century B.C.E.…

    In the latter case, which is the one that recent research makes more probable, Abraham's own eyes and those of his kinsfolk rested often and familiarly on the sights of the great metropolis in the days of Sumu-abi and the first powerful Semitic kings. Amid these surroundings there came to the patriarch the impulse, God-given as are all high impulses, to leave the oppressive civilization for a freer, purer…

    Blessing to the Nation

    I. INTRODUCTION. The nation of Israel is constantly in the news, for it is at the center of the Middle Eastern conflict. Every May 14th is a day of remembrance for when Israel declared its modern nationhood in 1948, after the horrors of the Holocaust wiped out six million European Jews. This week’s lesson reveals the formation of the Abrahamic Covenant and is foundational to understanding the importance of the nation of Israel in God’s plans. It is important to notice that God’s everlasting covenant with Israel did not begin with Abraham’s faith but with God’s call to Abraham, to which he then responded in faith.…
