If Pharaoh is the seed of the serpent, who is the seed of the woman in Exodus? Listen in to find out!

How can a repeated word help us understand what the biblical authors are saying? Repeated words often: 
create a theme throughout a chapter 
link words that are close to each other 
link words that are distant from each other 
 
In this session, we practice finding repeated keywords in different chapters of Jonah and discuss what they mean for the literary design of the book.

Genesis 3 is probably the most famous serpent-featuring story in the Bible—the moment we get to see humans and the nahash interact for the first time. Because the serpent lures the humans into choosing their own demise, it’s also the moment Yahweh announces that the seed (descendant) of the serpent will remain a rival to the seed of the woman. In this episode, Tim and Jon discuss Genesis 3-4 and talk about what happens when humans themselves start to act like the chaos monster.
