Commentary on Bible Reading Plan: Jan 3 & 4
I had to read solo last night from the scheduled reading (Gen 10-12 and Matt 4) because I came down with one of my migraine headaches around 3:30pm and it kept me from functioning. I got home a little past five and sought to relieve it by lying down for a bit. My kids started to rub my eyes and temples and I eventually fell asleep. They decided not to wake me for the evening reading so I woke up when it was over. Sunday evening proved a little challenging because the kids were restless and were having a hard time concentrating. We pushed through though. There will be days like that. The important thing is to read through no matter what.
By the way, I don’t know if this is important to you or not, but we read out of the ESV Bible at home and at church. People have asked me why we use the ESV Bible and I usually encourage them to read Translating Truth: The Case for Essentially Literal Bible Translation. My kids read from this particular Children's ESV Bible, but it seems to be out of print. I think this one is the exact same Bible, but with a different cover.
Some thoughts on Genesis 11
The sin of the people in Genesis 11 was that they said, “let us make a name for ourselves” as opposed to glorifying God and making His name great. They did not want to “be dispersed over the face of the whole earth” (Gen 11:4) in contrast to God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth” (Gen 1:28). In reading this passage I could not help, but to remember one of the most outrageous interpretations/commentaries on this passage. It came from eisegetical master Jesse Duplantis.
