Lesson 1: Abraham in the land of Gerar
In our first lesson of our course on Fear of God in the Hebrew Bible, we look to the book of Genesis and follow the patriarch Abraham in his travels and travails in the land of Gerar and in Egypt. The differences between the King of Gerar and the Pharaoh of Egypt will highlight the purpose and the role of fearing God in the Hebrew Bible.


Thank you for that insightful teaching. The connection of Abraham in Gerar as a foreshadowing of the Exodus is a connection I have never made. I look forward to more of your teachings!
