A12 - Jacob and His Sons: The Birth of Israel (Genesis 25-50)

The second half of the book of Genesis focuses on the life of the patriarch Jacob. Starting off as a cunning trickster, Jacob undergoes a profound transformation during his 20-year exile in Haran. In that time, Jacob’s sons are born; they will become the fathers of the twelve tribes of Israel. When they turn against their brother Joseph and he ends up in Egypt, God raises him up and makes him a source of blessing and salvation not only to his family, but also to all neighboring countries. This dramatic story of Joseph and his brothers is a type of the future relationship between Jesus and his Jewish brothers.
