When he saw them, Jacob said, \u201cThis is God\u2019s camp.\u201d So he called that place Mahanaim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the territory of Edom. He commanded them, \u201cYou are to say to my lord Esau, \u2018This is what your servant Jacob says. I have been staying with Laban and have been delayed until now. I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female slaves. I have sent this message to inform my lord, in order to seek your favor.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, \u201cWe went to your brother Esau; he is coming to meet you \u2014 and he has four hundred men with him.\u201d Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; he divided the people with him into two camps, along with the flocks, herds, and camels. He thought, \u201cIf Esau comes to one camp and attacks it, the remaining one can escape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Gifts for Esau<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Jacob said, \u201cGod of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, \u2018Go back to your land and to your family, and I will cause you to prosper,\u2019 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. Indeed, I crossed over the Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two camps. Please rescue me from my brother Esau, for I am afraid of him; otherwise, he may come and attack me, the mothers, and their children. You have said, \u2018I will cause you to prosper, and I will make your offspring like the sand of the sea, too numerous to be counted.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He spent the night there and took part of what he had brought with him as a gift for his brother Esau: two hundred female goats, twenty male goats, two hundred ewes, twenty rams, thirty milk camels with their young, forty cows, ten bulls, twenty female donkeys, and ten male donkeys. He entrusted them to his slaves as separate herds and said to them, \u201cGo on ahead of me, and leave some distance between the herds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And he told the first one, \u201cWhen my brother Esau meets you and asks, \u2018Who do you belong to? Where are you going? And whose animals are these ahead of you?\u2019 then tell him, \u2018They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift sent to my lord Esau. And look, he is behind us.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Women and Children Across the River<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>He also told the second one, the third, and everyone who was walking behind the animals, \u201cSay the same thing to Esau when you find him. You are also to say, \u2018Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.\u2019\u201d For he thought, \u201cI want to appease Esau with the gift that is going ahead of me. After that, I can face him, and perhaps he will forgive me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the gift was sent on ahead of him while he remained in the camp that night. During the night Jacob got up and took his two wives, his two slave women, and his eleven sons, and crossed the ford of Jabbok. He took them and sent them across the stream, along with all his possessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jacob Wrestles with God<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man saw that he could not defeat him, he struck Jacob\u2019s hip socket as they wrestled and dislocated his hip. Then he said to Jacob, \u201cLet me go, for it is daybreak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Jacob said, \u201cI will not let you go unless you bless me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat is your name?\u201d the man asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJacob,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour name will no longer be Jacob,\u201d he said. \u201cIt will be Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Jacob asked him, \u201cPlease tell me your name.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he answered, \u201cWhy do you ask my name?\u201d And he blessed him there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob then named the place Peniel, \u201cFor I have seen God face to face,\u201d he said, \u201cyet my life has been spared.\u201d The sun shone on him as he passed by Penuel \u2014 limping because of his hip. That is why, still today, the Israelites don\u2019t eat the thigh muscle that is at the hip socket: because he struck Jacob\u2019s hip socket at the thigh muscle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Genesis Chapter 33<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jacob Meets Esau<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two slave women. He put the slaves and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last. He himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times until he approached his brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Esau ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. Then they wept. When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, \u201cWho are these with you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He answered, \u201cThe children God has graciously given your servant.\u201d Then the slaves and their children approached him and bowed down. Leah and her children also approached and bowed down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bowed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Esau said, \u201cWhat do you mean by this whole procession I met?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTo find favor with you, my lord,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have enough, my brother,\u201d Esau replied. \u201cKeep what you have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Jacob said, \u201cNo, please! If I have found favor with you, take this gift from me. For indeed, I have seen your face, and it is like seeing God\u2019s face, since you have accepted me. Please take my present that was brought to you, because God has been gracious to me and I have everything I need.\u201d So Jacob urged him until he accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Esau said, \u201cLet\u2019s move on, and I\u2019ll go ahead of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jacob Setup an Altar<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob replied, \u201cMy lord knows that the children are weak, and I have nursing flocks and herds. If they are driven hard for one day, the whole herd will die. Let my lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly, at a pace suited to the livestock and the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Esau said, \u201cLet me leave some of my people with you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But he replied, \u201cWhy do that? Please indulge me, my lord.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That day Esau started on his way back to Seir, but Jacob went to Succoth. He built a house for himself and shelters for his livestock; that is why the place was called Succoth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After Jacob came from Paddan-aram, he arrived safely at Shechem in the land of Canaan and camped in front of the city. He purchased a section of the field where he had pitched his tent from the sons of Hamor, Shechem\u2019s father, for a hundred pieces of silver. And he set up an altar there and called it God, the God of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Genesis Chapter 34<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dinah Defiled<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Leah\u2019s daughter Dinah, whom Leah bore to Jacob, went out to see some of the young women of the area. When Shechem \u2014 son of Hamor the Hivite, who was the region\u2019s chieftain \u2014 saw her, he took her and raped her. He became infatuated with Jacob\u2019s daughter Dinah. He loved the young girl and spoke tenderly to her. \u201cGet me this girl as a wife,\u201d he told his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob heard that Shechem had defiled his daughter Dinah, but since his sons were with his livestock in the field, he remained silent until they returned. Meanwhile, Shechem\u2019s father Hamor came to speak with Jacob. Jacob\u2019s sons returned from the field when they heard about the incident. They were deeply grieved and very angry, for Shechem had committed an outrage against Israel by raping Jacob\u2019s daughter, and such a thing should not be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamor said to Jacob\u2019s sons, \u201cMy son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife. Intermarry with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves. Live with us. The land is before you. Settle here, move about, and acquire property in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Shechem said to Dinah\u2019s father and brothers, \u201cGrant me this favor, and I\u2019ll give you whatever you say. Demand of me a high compensation and gift; I\u2019ll give you whatever you ask me. Just give the girl to be my wife!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One Condition<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>But Jacob\u2019s sons answered Shechem and his father Hamor deceitfully because he had defiled their sister Dinah. \u201cWe cannot do this thing,\u201d they said to them. \u201cGiving our sister to an uncircumcised man is a disgrace to us. We will agree with you only on this condition: if all your males are circumcised as we are. Then we will give you our daughters, take your daughters for ourselves, live with you, and become one people. But if you will not listen to us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their words seemed good to Hamor and his son Shechem. The young man did not delay doing this, because he was delighted with Jacob\u2019s daughter. Now he was the most important in all his father\u2019s family. So Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese men are peaceful toward us,\u201d they said. \u201cLet them live in our land and move about in it, for indeed, the region is large enough for them. Let\u2019s take their daughters as our wives and give our daughters to them. But the men will agree to live with us and be one people only on this condition: if all our men are circumcised as they are. Won\u2019t their livestock, their possessions, and all their animals become ours? Only let\u2019s agree with them, and they will live with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>City Destroyed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>All the men who had come to the city gates listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and all those men were circumcised. On the third day, when they were still in pain, two of Jacob\u2019s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah\u2019s brothers, took their swords, went into the unsuspecting city, and killed every male. They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with their swords, took Dinah from Shechem\u2019s house, and went away. Jacob\u2019s sons came to the slaughter and plundered the city because their sister had been defiled. They took their flocks, herds, donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field. They captured all their possessions, dependents, and wives and plundered everything in the houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, \u201cYou have brought trouble on me, making me odious to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they answered, \u201cShould he treat our sister like a prostitute?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Close<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for joining me here today.&nbsp; I pray that by spending time in His Word every day, you will by changed.&nbsp; Visit me at Lifting Her Voice.com with your comments and questions.&nbsp; And don\u2019t forget to visit the Blog page while you\u2019re there.&nbsp; If you like the podcast, it would be great if you\u2019d give it a five-star review and share it with everyone you know.&nbsp; Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.&nbsp; See you tomorrow!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Show Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Awesome Video of&nbsp;<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y2tha7ogpec\" target=\"_blank\">Solomon\u2019s Temple<\/a><\/li><li><strong>These will help!<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bibleproject.com\/explore\/book-overviews\/\" target=\"_blank\">Overview videos<\/a>&nbsp;of all books of the Bible<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/liftinghervoice.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Visit my website<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ldpbaptistchurch.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Visit my church<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/hansmarkusfrei.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Visit The German Shepherd<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><strong>Find me on <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joy.blantonmiller\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><strong>,&nbsp; <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joy_blantonmiller\/?hl=en\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong> and <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiftingHerVoice\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bible Study Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1433648091\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=1433648091&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=liftinghervoi-20&amp;linkId=97e79884a53dca767c6ee4de686ea143\">CSB Study Bible<\/a> \u2013 Hardcover or Kindle!<\/li><li>The Bible Project\u2019s\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLH0Szn1yYNee1eTBU01ZjogtYufHnO0QE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Bible Basics<\/strong><\/a><strong> \u2013 <em>Free<\/em>!<\/strong><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.christianbook.com\/page\/bibles?event=AFF&amp;p=1210979\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Every Bible You Could Ever Want!<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/biblehub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Bible Hub<\/strong><\/a><strong> \u2013 <em>Free<\/em>!<\/strong><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.biblestudytools.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Bible Study Tools<\/strong><\/a><strong> \u2013 <em>Free<\/em>!<\/strong><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thebibleproject.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Bible Project<\/strong><\/a><strong>&#8211; <em>Free<\/em>!<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Want to use your tablet for Bible reading?
