Psalms 119:133 Order my steps in Your Word; and do not let any iniquity rule over me.
Chronological Bible Reading for January 21
Genesis 27-29
Genesis 27:37 – Isaac had sons other than Jacob and Esau yet they are not recorded individually.
Genesis 28:13 – God is faithful to His covenant to Abraham.
Genesis 28:14 – The Seed of blessing is Jesus.
Genesis 28:20–21 – Jacob is “putting out a fleece” as Gideon will do in the book of Judges. Jacob may not have faith in God but God has chosen him to be one in the line to Christ our Savior. God will therefore fulfill the request that Jacob gave because it is part of His plan.
Genesis 28:22 – It is obvious that the word (bah’-yith) translated house may not be accurate because the angles weren’t dwelling there they were using a staircase or ladder to go to and from the “dwelling” of God. The place could not be the house but a “door” to God.
Genesis 29:31 – Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah – usually the birthright goes to the eldest but Reuben laying with Bilhah and with Simeon and Levi killing the men of Shechem caused the birthright to fall on Judah.
Genesis 29:32 – A man will not love the woman just because she has born him a child. It is a trap to him. Laban broke the commitment to Jacob who was committed to Rachel not Leah. Jacob though did not dishonor Leah but kept the commitment forced upon him in darkness.
Genesis 29:33 – Leah is now putting her value into her children as a mother not a wife to Jacob.
Genesis 29:34 -Now with Levi she pines for the affection of her husband.
Genesis 29:35 – Finally she praises Jehovah for Judah from whom (she does not realize) will come Jesus Christ the son of Mary conceived through the Holy Spirit.
