Episode notes
Eating Holiness in Sacrifice
- Jacob offers a communal sacrifice before exile to partake in God's holiness.
- Eating the holy sacrifice symbolizes receiving and being made holy by God.
400 Years of Divine Silence
- God’s revelation to Jacob in Genesis 46 is the last for 400 years until Moses at the burning bush.
- Divine silence often coincides with periods of exile and suffering, when God seems absent but is still present.
God Works Through Hardship
- God promises to make Israel a great nation in Egypt, a land of exile and oppression.
- God's work often happens through hardship and suffering, not during times of ease and success.
