Let’s get Personal…
Read the story of Laban and Jacob in Genesis 28-31 this week. Take note of the cultural background we
have discussed in this section. As you read develop an answer to the following question: Does the
existence of a cultural practice in the Bible mean it is approved of by God? Answer the question both
explaining how to know when it is approved of by God and how to know when it is not. Maybe you can
teach your church this in a learning time in the future. It will help them learn how to read their Bible.
