In Genesis 22:16-17, God promises to allow Abraham's descendants to be numerous because he listened to God. By allowing Isaac to live, God is making sure that the family line of Abraham continues, leading to Joseph and Jesus. Thus the covenant made between them is fulfilled. God wants to reflect his glory on the earth and the person who did that the most was Jesus because the Son of Christ was perfect and died for our sins. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+22&version=NIV

In Genesis 27, Jacob tricks his father into believing that he was Esau so that he would get the blessing. This connects to when the Pharisees were trying to trick Jesus into saying something against the law of God in Mark. The connection is that trickery is common with humans because sinning is natural. Jacob eventually becomes Israel, meaning dependant with God and the Pharisees also were amazed by Jesus and accepted him.

Even when Jesus was tested, he stayed strong and this shows how Jesus is the true son of God. Jesus is the hero in the story of the Bible and we are given examples in the old testament to highlight the difference between Jesus and us humans.

In Genesis 37, Joseph's brothers were jealous because of a dream . So, the brothers sold him to slavery. I experienced sibling rivalry but not as extreme. My parents focused more on my brother so they compensated lack of attention with gifts. I was jealous of the attention my brother got. However, after growing closer to God I realized that jealousy is a bad thing just like how the brothers realized that too. This story spoke to me and it made me realize God made this happen so we can relate.

In Genesis 17:7-8, God says that the land of Canaan will be in the possession of Abraham's descendants. In the West Bank, we see that the Israeli forces are in control of it, however, they are using violence to maintain possession of the territory.
