Today's Reading - March 13, 2010

Numbers 19:1-20:29
Luke 1:1-25
Psalm 56:1-13
Proverbs 11:8


Question of the day: Why would the King of Edom refuse Israel passage through his land?

The emnity between Israel and Edom can be traced back some 400 years earlier, when Jacob (later renamed Israel by the Lord) was battling his twin brother Esau in the womb (Genesis 25:23). Genesis 25:30 tells us the Esau was also known as Edom, which means red. Jacob later stole Esau's blessing (Genesis 27:27), causing permanent separation between the two.
