Thought Questions:

A. Questions 3 and 11 bring to mind situations similar to each. To what events are the respective questions similar ?

B. The family of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob seem to have a lot of problems with lying, deceit, and general trickery. However, as we have discussed God can still use sinful man to achieve His purpose just the same. In light of that, which of the 12 sons is in the direct line of Jesus?

That doesn’t mean that he approves of the way they are behaving.
