Week 3 Reading Diary: Bible Women

For this week’s reading diary post I went with the Biblical unit “Bible Women”. These stories are a part of the Bible Women unit, story source: King James Bible (1611): Genesis, and the book of James. 

Biblical Women

Eve

-God creates all of these creates and brings them to Adam to name, that to me is pretty cool, even though God is the creator he allows someone else to name is work.  Because Adam and Eve were created to be together as one flesh, they are to not be ashamed of being naked, something we need to all remember as we fall in “love” we have to be completely comfortable with one another.  It was interesting to read that as soon as they ate the fruit they became aware of the naked bodies, and even tried to hide from God. 

Sarah

-Always found this a great story, Abraham and Sarah had to trust that God knew what he was doing when he gave them a child at such an old age, great story to learn of God’s trust. 

Hager

-Interesting story I have never heard of from the Bible.  I didn't realize that Sarah had sent Hager and her son away because she had a son and Hager’s son shouldn't be where Sarah’s son was. 

Rebekah

- Rebekah has twins with Isaac, there names where Esau and Jacob.  Isaac loved Esau and Rebekah loved Jacob. 

Rachel

-I love how in all of these Bible stories they just automatically fall in love, or just immediately start to kiss.  But then men in the bible always show good characteristics when it comes to those they love. 

Leah

-I’m learning new things all Genesis, I never realized that Jacob had so many children with two different women.  It was interesting to see that when Rachel finally got pregnant it killed her; maybe this is why Jacob had Leah

Potiphar’s Wife

-What a great example of a godly man Joseph is being, it angers me that the master’s wife would set him up to be taken to prison because he would lay with her. 

Jephthah’s Daughter

-So basically his daughter had sex and she was sent away for two month to regret that she had done such a sin.  But the neat thing is that she requested to be sent away because she wanted to repent.
