Why do psalms often end on some negative note? We slip that into the in-line comments today.

Intro:

I hope your weekend was as awesome as mine. The weekend edition of this program, if you didn’t catch it, is kinda like a class — longer than what I want to do for the weekend edition since the two parts run about 51 minutes, but I trust you’ll walk away with an overview of some historical theology that sheds light on some stuff going on today.

As for our reading, you might remember that after Genesis 1-11 there are three big patriarchal buckets in Genesis around, roughly speaking, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Today we wrap up Isaac’s descendants. And since I’m still getting used to this five-day-a-week version of reading through the Bible in a year, let’s get ‘er rolling.

Happy Monday!
