Genesis 45 and 46:

We are so close to finishing Genesis! We last left off in the reunion scene between Joseph and Judah. Judah just gave a long speech beseeching Joseph to take him in place of Benjamin. In this instance, Joseph sees firsthand how the hearts of his brothers have changed. It is such a sweet moment and Joseph is not shy with his tears.

HAYLEY’S BIBLE BENDER:

While there are multiple points in today’s story that were new to me (Susan always surprises me with the knowledge and tidbits she brings to a classic story). I was most amazed when she did a quick study on the various names of God Jacob mentioned in Genesis. In Genesis 28-35, we see God called Yahweh (God), Elohim (Mighty), El Shaddai (God All Sufficient), Ha’el, and Elohe (God of the Covenant). I love how the names show us that Jacob recognizes how God comes through in all circumstances in the way we need it. It is a great reminder for us even today.
