During the time that Pharaoh was trying to exterminate the Israelite line, Amram, a Levite, married Jochebed, daughter of a Levite. They had a daughter, Miriam, then Jochebed conceived again and bore a son. 

Pharaoh’s command was that all baby boys be thrown into the river, but when Jochebed saw her beautiful baby boy, she knew she had to try to save him. For three months, she hid him, but the time came when she could no longer keep...

In the midst of a difficult time for the Hebrews in Egypt, God rose up two unexpected heroes - midwives Shiphrah and Puah. 

The king called in the two women and told them that when they were on the birthstool, if they saw that the baby was a son, they should kill him, but if it was a daughter, she could live. It was an order, but these women were god-fearing women in the business of bringing life, not destroying it. They ignored his...

Yesterday we concluded our time in Genesis, and today we move into Exodus. The book opens with a review of how the Hebrews came to Eygpt because of Joseph. It started with Joseph’s brothers and their families, but after their deaths, their descendants multiplied. 

Exodus 1:7 tells us, “But the people of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly; they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong, so that the land was filled with them.” (E...

Leah had six sons and a daughter. In her children she witnessed praise and much sorrow.

Tucked away in Genesis 49:31, we find a beautiful verse of hope. Jacob’s dying words to his sons were to bury him next to Leah in the cave where Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac and Rebekah were buried. Though in life, Leah was second, in death she found her place next to Jacob.

Pharaoh gave Joseph a new name and gave him an Egyptian wife, Asenath, daughter of an Egyptian priest. 

During the years of plenty, Asenath bore Joseph two sons. He named the first Manasseh, saying, “God has made me forget all my hardship and all my father’s house.” (Genesis 41:51 ESV) The name Manasseh means, “causing to forget.” He named the second Ephraim, saying, ““For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.” (v. ...

The Bible tells us that Joseph was handsome in form and appearance. Because of his good looks and the fact that he spent much time at Potiphar’s house while Potiphar was away, he attracted the attention of Potiphar’s wife. 

He resisted her efforts to seduce him, but she wasn’t easily dismissed. 

He explained that his master, her husband, trusted him with all that he had. How could Joseph, then, betray Potiphar’s trust as well as sin ...

All Tamar wanted was to have a son. She was willing to do whatever it took to make that happen, even risking death. She knew when she deceived Judah that she faced being put to death when she was found to be with child. That’s why she took Judah’s signet ring, cord, and staff. They were her insurance policy.

Judah found a wife for his son Er. Her name was Tamar. But soon after their marriage, God killed Er due to his wickedness.

So as was the custom, Tamar was given to Judah’s second son, Onan, so that he might pass along Er’s line. But Onan had a problem with that. If he had heirs, he wanted them to be his, not his brother’s, so he made sure that Tamar didn’t get pregnant. This displeased God, so He killed him as well.

Soon after Judah and his brothers sold Joseph into slavery, Judah left home and visited Hirah, an Adullamite. While there, Judah met a Canaanite woman, the daughter of Shua, and he married her. 

The Bible gives us no details about the daughter of Shua other than she was a Canaanite, so Judah should not have married her. Her father’s name, Shua, means wealth. Perhaps Judah was attracted to their riches and wanted to attach himself to...

Genesis 36 gives an account of Esau’s family including his wives Basemath, Adah, and Aholibamath, and his son’s concubine Timna. Adah and Aholibamath were Esau’s first wives who brought grief to his parents. Their names were changed, though, when they married. Basemath was Esau’s third wife who he married out of spite when he realized that his parents didn’t like his other Canaanite wives.

We first met Bilhah in Genesis 29:29 when Rachel married Jacob, and Laban gave her Bilhah as her handmaiden.

When Leah had son after son, and Rachel remained barren, Rachel first blamed Jacob for her lack of children. Then she offered him Bilhah as a surrogate wife so that she could bear children through her servant.

Once Rachel bore her own son, Bilhah slipped into the background until after Rachel’s death when Jacob’s son Reuben l...

Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died and was buried under a terebinth tree in Bethel, and the tree was called Allon Bachuth, which means “oak of weeping”. 

The family continued journeying, this time to Ephrath, or Bethlehem, but Rachel was pregnant and went into labor during their travel. The midwife tried to comfort her saying, “ “Do not fear, for you have another son.” But Rachel didn’t make it. During her dying moments, she named her so...

He then asked his father to get her for his wife.

What Shechem did was wrong, but what the brothers did was worse. They knew what ...

In the process of fleeing from her father, Rachel stole his household idols. How easily Rachel deceived her father, stealing from him, hiding from him, and lying to him. Though she wasn’t caught, Jacob’s foreshadow of death would soon come true.

Are you holding on to the world’s strongholds rather than trusting in God’s provision and protection? Are you deceiving those around you, pretending to be something you’re not? Though you ma...

Leah and Rachel both got caught up in a competition, trying to best the other one. In their fierce fight for more children, they lost sight of everything else. They didn’t appreciate the children they had because of their zeal for more children. Even Jacob took a backseat to their sister feud.
