Sin of Tower of Babel
Arrogance, pride, (because it tried to bridge that gap between people and the heavens, which is arrogant and rude.)
(Partiarch of Israel) Abriham’s Story
(IMPORTANTTTT)
*Abrham and his wife had no kids so he packed up and moved away because God had a plan for him.
*God established a Covenant with abriham that promised 3 things: 1) the promise of land (2) the promise He would make a great nation of Abribams descendants (3) promise of blessing and redemotion
*All Abriham had to do was follow the path of God with hid descendants and later they all had to be circumcised as a symbol of the covenant too.
God asks Abriham to sacrifice Issac (Abriham;s son) to prove his faith to God, so Abriham says that he will, but God says nah jk I was just testing Yu.
(Partiarch of Israel) Issac’s Story
Issac marrier Rebekah and they have kids. That’s it, pretty much. His story was when he was almost sacrificed by abriha, bc God told him to do that.
(Patriarch of Israel) Jacob’s Story
Since he and Abriham are related, Jacob becomes the father of a Jewish nation, where he lost to God in a wrestling match and received a new name: ISRAEL!!!!
