More fine work. At first, I thought I was reading the same story over again
with people passing their wives off as sisters. I always thought it was
strange the the Kings in the stories say that someone could have easily
slept with the women mistaking them for sisters. I guess back in the good
ol' days women were mere peices of property.
What lesson is the biblical author trying to impart with the descriptions of
Jacob's sharp dealings with his brother? That exploiting a starving person
and fooling a doddering, blind old man are the ticket to success?
Regarding the last story--Hittite intolerance: funny play on words. The
reader assumes it is going to be the Hittites who were intolerant, but it is
really Isaac and Rebekah!?!?
