In reading (by which I mean understanding, making sense of) these chapters we’ll find that noticing unusual details, things that stick out, can be a real clue to what is important. Naming, and not naming, are really significant here, not least that God is not named – oh, God’s talked about, but “God” is a title or description not a name, this “God” will get a name in the next chapter…
Here, too, well find that hearing echoes of other parts of Scripture can be strong clues to meaning. I wonder if you’ll pick up the clue in these chapters before I tell you – or even if you will spot echoes I have not talked about. If you do you could write about them in the comments below, and make this even better for readers 🙂
