For those of you who are taking part in the six week class at Westwood Church called “Uncommon Faith“, here are the requirements to work through for week 4:
- Read Genesis 24 in your favourite translation.
- Read Genesis 24:6-8 in three different translations (if you want suggestions, I recommend these three for this course: NET, TNIV, ESV).
- As you read the text, answer these questions
- Do you see a structure to the text?
- Repeated words/ideas, progression of words/ideas, etc.
- Specifically, how does Abraham describe God?
- Why do you think that Abraham chose those specific characteristics of God as the ones that his servant needed to hear at that time?
- Do you see a structure to the text?
