Israel Strives and Prevails: The Return of Jacob | 08 – Parashat Vayish’lach

In this week’s Messianic Jewish Bible study, Josiah and Hosea Geoffrey explore the Torah Portion “Vayish’lach” (Genesis 32:4(3)-36:43), which follows Jacob back into the land of Canaan, where he wrestles with God Himself, reconciles with Esau, faces the fallout after his daughter is violated, and receives the name and the promise of Israel. How did Jacob appease his estranged brother? Was it right for Jacob’s sons to avenge their sister? What is the significance of the name ‘Israel’? The brothers cover all these questions and more in this episode.
