Bo! Exodus 10-13:16 from Authority, Headship, and Family Structure According to Moses

What do Exodus 12 and Galatians 3:28 have in common? What was Paul thinking? Why are almost ALL commands given to men? Much to consider in this episode!

Authority, Headship, and Family Structure (According to Moses) Shemot (Ex. 1:1-6:1) and Va'era (Ex. 6:2-9:35)

Our first segment has a considerable number of thoughts and points regarding headship, leadership, elders, and how God develops and uses Moses. Also, the idea that Israel is a patriarchal tribal family is explored.  The second segment considers the marriage language of God's promise to Israel and how He views His people!

Authority, Headship, and Family Structure (According to Moses) Vayigash (Gen. 44:18-47:27) and Vayechi (Gen. 47:28-50:26)

Why did God choose plural marriage as the foundation of Israel? Does the adversary have a parallel system that is contrary to God's Word? Does 'monogamy-only' benefit the State or God's people?  And, why were Jacob's bones immediately take to the Land for burial, but Joseph's were not?

Authority, Headship, and Family Structure (According to Moses) Vayeshev (Gen. 37:1-40:23) and Miketz (Gen. 41:1-44:17)

The 'Joseph Portions' begin and contain significant lessons in leadership, patriarchy, responsibility, and authority.

Authority, Headship, and Family Structure : Vayetze (Gen. 28:10-32:3) and Vayishlach (Gen. 32:4-36:43)

A deeper dive into the role and responsibilities of a patriarch as well as some hard questions regarding the traditional interpretation of Jacob's marital situation. Is it lawful to have more than one wife? Is polygyny just an Old Testament aberration? What about marrying sisters? Much, much to ponder in these two Torah portions.
