Jan 15, Gen 34-36

Wow, Dinah must have been one hot chick for all these men to agree to this!! Now it's one thing for the man who was in love with her (bad enough) but for the rest of town to agree to it?? More significantly, Jacob seems to be maturing at bit and though he is very unhappy with what his sons have done, he finally makes everyone get rid of the foreign gods they have.

I found it intersesting that Jacob and Esau buried their father together. There was not further mention of any relationship between them since Jacob went a different way after meeting Esau.

They buried him in Hebron and this town is still in existance. Those of you from Cornerstone, may remember the Pastor telling us that it is the second Holiest place in Israel and is completely off limits to tourists. It is under Arab control and is heavily gaurded. When I googled Hebron, I found this interesting site:

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/History/hebron.html

A most interesting statement: Hebron, located south of Jerusalem in the Judean hills — is home to approximately 130,000 Arabs, 530 Jews, and three Christians.

((Do you ever feel outnumbered? Think of the 3 Christians living in Hebron!!))
