I read Genesis 29 - 40 this morning from The Message. I love this Daily Plan from YouVerson's iPhone app - I can change versions as many times as I want - or review several if a particular verse puzzles me.
Here's a word I looked up in the dictionary during today's reading: "mandrake". The Message translated it the second time as "love apples." I giggled!
After what seemed like a lot of, "Hey, why don't you go to bed with my daughters?" I was happy to be reminded that Dinah's rape (Genesis 34) was not taken lightly by her brothers.
(Again, I'm trying not to process too much with my own preconceived ideas, but to let God show me who He is in this overview of the Bible. )
