Short Note to Genesis 29 It had
to be sometime close to 2030 BCE, at least between 2040 BCE when Esau got
married and also at least 20 years before Isaac died, who died in 2000 BCE. The
terminal date would be 2020 BCE but one has to leave enough time for other
events to happen even in Isaac’s last years in future chapters. One should not miss the grace of God and His compassion
in Genesis 29:31: God saw that Leah was hated and He blessed her. When people
struggle with the stress and tension of others’ hatred, there is a God up there
Who can step in for that victim. Victims are sometimes totally in the care of
God and the crowd or popular sentiment does not even realize that. Human
condemnation and Divine condemnation do not always coincide.
Dear God How astounding for us that what Adventism is proclaiming
has been an established principle all along. Thank you for such clear evidence
for our faith. We worship You will all our heart and mind. In Jesus Name. Amen.
