Welcome to The Bible Show! In this episode, hosts Sam and Will dive into the biblical archaeology of Genesis chapters 35 and 36, exploring the story of Jacob's journey back to Bethel and the surprising discoveries that shed new light on the text.
We'll discuss how biblical archaeology reveals:
- The meaning of Shechem and why Jacob's choice to go there was so significant.
- The surprising role of "foreign gods" and pagan practices within Jacob's own family.
- The hidden meaning behind the burial sites and how they point to God's plan.
