Does “if” mean “since” in Genesis 28:20-21?
from The Extra Point · host brettstiles
Does Jacob’s repeated use of “if” in Genesis 28 mean he’s negotiating with God? In this episode, Todd explains why the Hebrew context shows Jacob isn’t bargaining at all—he’s responding covenantally to promises God has already made, and that helps us better understand how to read Old Testament promises today.
