Genesis 34-35 Matthew 17-

Genesis 34-35
2 of Jacob's sons (Simeon and Levi) took revenge on Hamor for defiling this sister Dinah. I wonder why the other 9 brothers weren't listed in this plot.

God instructed Jacob to get rid of all their idols. Once they obeyed and buried the treasures, Vs 5 The terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.

This chapter reminds me again how earth is such a temporal. We read about Jacob moving so often from place to place. His wife was buried on the way to Bethlehem and he moved on and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder. (vs 21) We need to remember that we're just dwelling in a tent, being fully prepared to move whenever God tells us!

Isaac lived to be 180 years old and his sons, Jacob and Esau buried him.

Matthew 17-
Peter James and John were the three disciples who were privileged enough to see Moses, Elijah and Jesus transformed. Most importantly, they heard the voice of God! The feared the Lord and fell face down on the ground.

Vs 27 is so cool! Jesus tells Peter to cast his fishing line and the fish he catches will have money to pay the taxes!
