Yesterday we traced from Adam to Noah, and the genealogy to Abraham. Then we heard of Abraham’s two other families, those descending from Keturah and the sons and rulers descended from Esau. So now we take up Jacob’s descendants, but in this book he is called by his other name, Israel.
This chapter has one of my all-time favorite proverbs:
4 Without oxen a stable stays clean,
but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.
There are two instances of ‘joined with Christ’ in this chapter. This brings the total to 13 so far in this letter.
