We have arrived to an entirely new part of the book: a battle of narratives. Gone is the point of view of a single ancestor at a time, and gone is the pretense of unity, gravitas, and wholeness. In comes mean Biblical tweets about how horrible the ancestors really are. Gil and Omri discuss. Support our podcast on Patreon!

Genesis looks at two distinct classes: the boss and employee, the owner of the cattle, and the herder who tends to it. Jacob might be family, but he still needs to work for food and shelter and for his uncle's daughters, and then for a percentage of the herd. On the open market - labor disputes are inevitable.

The tales of Jacob out east with his uncle and family reveal more than any of the previous chapters how the minds, fears, wishes, and life experiences of biblical authors affect their writing. The bosses wanted Jacob to be in certain spots and get the lineages straight, and the writers filled the spaces with their own artistic and emotional world. Gil and Omri discuss.

The biblical authors portrayed the patriarch of the neighboring Edomites as an archetypical hunter-barbarian, in contrast to the more refined sedentary Jacob. Were they actually describing the desert and caravan Edomite culture? Gil and Omri discuss. Support our podcast on Patreon!
