In Genesis 35, Jacob is called back to Bethel, the place where God first met him. What follows is a chapter of renewal, separation, loss, and decisive moments in Jacob’s walk with God. Old ties are cut, idols are put away, and God restores Jacob’s focus and direction.
In this episode of Yeshua in the Tanakh, Johan Schep speaks about two very different paths that emerge from this chapter. One that leads to death, and one that leads toward the Messiah. Genesis 35 shows how God prepares His people for what lies ahead, as Johan traces these events in the light of Christ.
