Exodus 2b Commentary Moses’ first home is the Levite’s womb, fathered by a Levite man. It’s this home that defines his identity. He is a Hebrew, but importantly, he is a Levite. Levi (and his elder brother Simeon) exterminated an entire city in response to the raping of their sister Dinah. Their reasoning was, “ShouldContinueContinue reading “Genesis 2b Commentary”

Exodus 2 Commentary
Exodus 2 Commentary Chapter 2 does not mention God until the last verses when people cry out to Him for help. Strange indeed! However, the LORD God has been very active all this time, through the conception and birth of Moses. Moses ends up at the palace. He is raised by a maid, his mother,ContinueContinue reading “Exodus 2 Commentary”
Genesis 16 Commentary
Genesis 16 Commentary So far, our understanding is that Abram is childless. 15v3. He remains childless until Ishmael of this chapter. We maintain this view until we meet Abram’s other children, Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. These came from Abram’s wife Keturah. 25v1. He probably had other sons by his concubines. 25v6. The sinful process withContinueContinue reading “Genesis 16 Commentary”
Genesis 15 Commentary
Genesis 15 Commentary As we observed, the LORD God interacted with Abraham in many different ways. Yesterday, we held a strong opinion that Abram’s encounter with Melchizedek was God’s special visitation. Today, the LORD speaks to Abram in a vision. Now we understand how Abram defeated a combined force of 4 strong kings. God wasContinueContinue reading “Genesis 15 Commentary”
Genesis 6 Commentary
Genesis 6 Commentary The sons of God could easily be the line of Seth. This view may be supported by Luke’s genealogy which states that Adam was the son of God. If you jump the intermediaries, Noah was the son of God.This term could be used to distinguish Seth’s godly line from Cain’s ungodly lineContinueContinue reading “Genesis 6 Commentary”
Genesis 5 Commentary
Genesis 5 Commentary The holy script has an agenda. We cannot put a finger on it but we can tell from the discrimination found in this chapter. Yes, Adam did have many other sons and daughters. But the focus is on Seth. Seth had many other sons and daughters but the focus is on Enosh.ContinueContinue reading “Genesis 5 Commentary”
Genesis 4b Commentary
Genesis 4b Commentary Genesis is a book of firsts. We have the first-ever recorded offering. It is probably ‘millennias’ before the Law of Moses! Why these sacrifices? We could make some guesses. The LORD God who interacted with Adam in the Garden was no longer present. Probably these initial interactions involved sharing of meals. It’s aContinueContinue reading “Genesis 4b Commentary”
Genesis 4 Commentary
Genesis 4 Commentary If sin leads to death, it is the death of the righteous, not the wicked! Sinful Cain escapes death; righteous Abel pays the penalty. By the statement “…You must not touch it, or you will die”, did the LORD God point to a situation like we have with Cain and Abel? ThatContinueContinue reading “Genesis 4 Commentary”
Genesis 3d Commentary
Genesis 3d Commentary “You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.” Verse 14b. You cannot avoid thinking about the original blessing. The same blessing was repeated to Noah. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish …, over theContinueContinue reading “Genesis 3d Commentary”
Genesis 3b Commentary
Genesis 3b Commentary Never mind eating fruit from the Tree of Life, merely touching the tree in the middle of the Garden was fatal! Verse 3. Yes, touching the tree would result in death! The rule was strict!Never talk to strangers; every boy and girl learns simple and foundational life lessons from their mothers. EveContinueContinue reading “Genesis 3b Commentary”
