Genesis 32 and 33: Jacob Shows Humility to Esau; How the Language of this Story Challenges a Patriarchal Translation of 1st Peter Chapter 3
from The Bible Message without Patriarchy · host Awake Deborah
In this episode, we read Genesis chapters 32 and 33 from the Good News Translation of the Bible, Today’s English Version. In this story, Jacob humbles himself before his brother Esau, hoping that Esau will not seek revenge for being tricked out of his birthright. The language of this passage in the Greek Septuagint helps us to accurately translate 1 Peter 3:1-6. In this New Testament passage, when properly translated, wives are not told to “accept the authority” of their husbands; nor does Sarah “obey” Abraham, calling him “master.”
