Genesis 25

Genesis 36

In our continuing study of Genesis, our focus shifts briefly from Jacob’s family to that of his twin brother, Esau. Esau is the father of the nation of Edom. He was a handsome man but lived by following his sinful human nature. Beginning with him, the Edomites become a large and proud nation.

Genesis 35

After 40 years of living for himself, Jacob heeds God’s call, assumes spiritual leadership, and prepares his family to return to Bethel. Along the way we learn that Rachel dies giving birth to her second son, Benjamin. Isaac dies, too, and our study closes with Esau and Jacob burying him together.

Genesis 34

Although Jacob has yielded to God, his past sins are coming back to haunt him. The story continues as the daughter of Jacob and Leah is raped and a tale of murder and robbery by her brothers begins.

Genesis 33

God has dealt with Jacob and he’s been restored. Now after 20 years on the run, Jacob is ready to humble himself before Esau, the brother he deceived. What is Esau’s reaction? What happens to Jacob and his family? Travel the pages of God’s Word with Dr. McGee and find out.

Genesis 32

The story of Jacob continues with an event Dr. McGee calls the turning point in his life. Hop aboard the Bible Bus as we witness Jacob ask for God’s help as he returns home to face Esau and God deals with Jacob by sending a man (the image of Jesus) to wrestle with Him. Jacob doesn’t yield and is crippled. Once he gives up, he’s given a new nature and a new name: Israel.
