Outline Of Jesus's Ancestors

Rachel was born in Alabama. Her master, or owner told her she was born around 1850. She was never told her actual birthdate. She was first sold to a family in Alabama by the name of Columbus. They were poor and owned few slaves. It was a small cotton plantation with a big family so the slaves had to work extra hard. Rachel and the other female slaves lived in the stove room made of clay and grass. They raised plenty of different plants as well as cotton such as: Peas, greens, and potatoes.

Leah Price, the second oldest daughter of the four. Leah is the opposite of Rachel, I would say that she is most like her mother, obedient to her father and doing what is Holy. However, she has no real choice because of her father’s the ignorance of the Judeo Christian mind and being a complete control freak.

Chapter three of Ancestral Lines begins with Barker being taught how to paint a Tapa (a personally designed cloth) by two elder women, as the process is explained Barker compares the Tapa cloth to society “composed of basic elements that fit together to produce a whole.” (Barker 2017:75) Barker also breaks down the “three key facets of contemporary social organization: The socialization of children into gendered adults, the formation of kin- based groups and categories, and the formation of alliance between groups through marriage exchanges and life crisis ceremonies.” (Barker 2017:75-76) Things to note about children in general and as socialized gendered adults: when a child is born, they are not considered ‘socially human’ and are believed to be vulnerable to attacks from spirits because their souls are not yet attached to their bodies. Mothers are the main source of care. Girls are often put to work first, assisting their mothers with cooking, cleaning, and caring for infants. Boys contrastingly help their fathers with hunting, building, and protecting. While inequality is prevalent, women are not without power and enjoy high levels of security and influence. They also believe that men

He created man from dust and named him Adam, but Adam was lonely; so God took from Adam a rib. With Adam’s rib God created a woman and called her Eve. Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden to live in harmony with God. The garden was a perfect utopia for Adam and Eve.

Hannah’s heart was in a fixed position as she sought after God. She poured out all that was in her, pleaded to God to give her a son and he did. Barren women in this culture were considered to be

“Rachel is Jacob’s favored and primary wife.” (Stacy, 2002, 24) Early in the novel, Rachel stands out initially for her beauty and magnetism. There is no denying that Rachel is a professional and sagacious teacher for Dinah, her medical skill is so superb and brilliant that she has cured and saved many lives of mothers and their babies. In Dinah’s mind, “Rachel [knows] everything about delivering babies, she and Inna [try] to learn what they might from women wherever they [go].”

When news of their birth reached Amulius, he demanded their deaths. A servant of Amulius set a basket with the infants inside afloat on the Tiber river. The boys could have died in the river, but instead, the river carried them to safety. A female wolf found the twins, and nursed them, to where a shepherd named Faustulus discovered the the infants, and raised the them in secret.

Dinah tells her story because of her fear that her tragedy will not live on, and will mean nothing. Dinahs story, in the Bible, is a footnote in the Bible, while the stories of her mother's, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah live on, although the Bible misrepresents the powerful women in Dinahs life. She holds on to her memories, as an anchor so that when faced with a fresh start and a new life, she is afraid of moving on, as Dinah is still living in her tragic past. Childbirth/midwifery

When Jacob finally arrives in Haran, Jacob falls in love with Rachel and offers himself to her father, Laban, in return for her. However, on their wedding night, Laban tricks Jacob by switching Rachel with his eldest daughter Leah. When Jacob realizes what happened, he demands that Rachel be married to him as well. Unbeknownst to him, Rachel could not bear children as she was “barren”, however since God was

Another brother story in the Bible is that of Esau and Jacob. The prophecy of these brothers was that the younger would rule the elder. Esau was a hairy man that was skillful in the hunter – gatherer ways and Jacob was somewhat of a “mamas boy”. One day while their father Isaac was dying he told Esau that he would bless him. Jacob then deceitfully went into the place of his father and was blessed as if he was Esau. When Esau returned he was very upset and was going to kill his brother. Jacob fled and was out of touch with his brother for a long time. Then Jacob sent word to meet his brother again and heard that Esau followed by 400 men were coming to him. Afraid and distressed about what Esau might do, Jacob had a dream in which he wrestled with God and was there blessed. With the new name of Israel he met his brother Esau and gave him many gifts. Esau came to his bother in open arms not needing any gifts because the only gift he wanted was to see his brother. Again united Esau and Israel showed that being brothers was more important than any childhood feud.

Elizabeth conceives, and she hides for five months glorifying God for enabling her to conceive. God sends angel Gabriel after six months to a virgin called Mary in the city of Nazareth. The angel tells her to rejoice since she was highly favored and would bear a son named Jesus.

Genealogy In The Torah The idea of recording one’s family history and understanding genealogical descent is an integral part of the Torah, which includes 477 genealogical records. The Prophets and other books of the Bible include 2,756 genealogical records. And Divrei Hayamim (Chronicles) is almost entirely concerned with genealogy.
