1CHRONICLES 2:
Yesterday we traced from Adam to Noah and the
genealogy to Abraham. Then we heard of Abraham’s two other
families, those descending from Keturah and the sons and rulers
descended from Esau. So now we take up Jacob’s descendants, but in
this book, he is frequently called by his other name, Israel. (GNT
has used ‘Jacob’ instead in this chapter, as it is more
understandable for modern readers.)
PROVERBS 14a:
This
chapter has one of my all-time favorite proverbs:
14:4 NLT Without oxen a stable
stays clean,
but
you need a strong ox for a large harvest.//
GNT
Without any oxen to pull the plow your barn will be
empty,
But
with them it will be full of grain.]
Re-reading EPHESIANS 3:
There are two instances of ‘joined with Christ’
in this chapter. This brings the total to 13 so far in this
letter.
GNT Translation
note:
1Chr. 2:47 (A man named Jahdai [whose
relationship was not specified] had six sons: Regem, Jotham,
Geshan, Pelet, Ephah, and Shaaph.)
