Hevron & The Cave of Machpelah

Posted on by

The Book of Genesis is filled with new beginnings and chapter 23 is consistent in this manner. All of Genesis 23 focuses on the death and burial of Sarah. As the wife of Avraham and the first matriarch of Israel and the Jewish people, Sarah’s death would initiate a major new beginning in the Promised Land. What unique details do we read about the death and burial of Sarah? What is significant about the location of where Sarah was buried? Watch this full teaching on Genesis 23 to find answers to these questions and much more!

Remember Lot’s Wife

Posted on by

Genesis 19 records the rescue plan of the LORD to save Lot and his family before the great destruction of Sodom & Amorah (Gomorrah). In the New Testament, Yeshua spoke of these events in relation to His Second Coming and made the statement “Remember Lot’s Wife!” (Luke 17:32). Why did Yeshua say to “Remember Lot’s Wife”? Watch this teaching for my perspective on this statement and for an in-depth study of Genesis 19:1-29.

What wording has been changed in the text of Genesis 18 in order to maintain a certain theology? Why was this change made and what can we learn from it?
