Genesis 36
Oh, NO, more more genealogies!
Why are these important we often ask. They are important for laying a foundation for the historic nature of the narrative. Here they lay the foundation for a people who are going to cause Israel some trouble when they enter the promised land, the Edonites. (Gen 36:31) "And these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom, before there reigned any king over the children of Israel."
What does this have to do with us today?
Not much, but one can never know how the Word of God can touch someone’s lives. Rev. Samuel Padget and I talked about this once and he told me how God blessed him in a portion of scripture just about as tedious as these. (Don't worry I will share it when we get there.)
So don’t be discouraged, keep reading.
