Need help in Seminary please anyone

1. Propose how the stories
relating to “brothers” in Genesis (Cain/Able, Isaac/Ishmael, Jacob/Esau) may be
pointing us to the larger issue of the way in which Israel conceives of dealing
with its political neighbors.

I'm not sure what your problem is with this, but it seems to me that the issue is God's sovereign election. "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated" to quote Paul.in Rom 9.

This book applies directly to all those stories, but I haven't read it, can't say if it gets political. You might also want to check out exegesis on Lot's daughters, which explicitly is political.

Wow. Esau vs Jacob would be the easy one, especially since Babylon funded Moab/Edom prior to the exile. Talk about a parallel.

While question interesting, wondering how to answer using Logos Bible Software - per forum guidelines => http://community.logos.com/forums/t/10072.aspx

Wondering about Logos search strategy for finding relevant information (or opinions) in library resources ?

when it comes to Esua and Jacob this what I most need help with

Basic search "Esau AND Jacob AND supplanter" initially comes to mind, could add "AND wives"

Keep Smiling [:)]

Jacob learned to rely on God. Is that particularly political? I don't know? There are scores of lessons in his dealings with Laban as well as Esau and wrestling with God. Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit...
