Egypt was not the end of the covenant but part of its unfolding

Beersheba as a Place of Covenant Continuity Beersheba stands out in Genesis as a sacred location where God affirmed covenant promises across generations. First, Abraham lived there and planted a tamarisk tree, calling on the name of the Lord [Genesis 21:33]. This act symbolized permanence, worship, and trust in God’s enduring covenant. Second, Isaac later encountered God at Beersheba, where the Lord reaffirmed the Abrahamic promise, assured him of divine presence, and Isaac responded by building an altar [Genesis 26:23–25]. Thus, Beersheba became a spiritual anchor, a place associated with God’s faithfulness, guidance, and reassurance. So He said, “I am God, the God of your father; do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there. 4 I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes.” (Genesis 46:3-4). When Jacob stood at Beersheba on the brink of traveling to Egypt, his fear was unde...

Hope Against Hope

The sons of Jacob in Egypt When Jacob mentioned Egypt, his sons’ reaction betrayed their inner guilt. For 20 years, they had carried the burden of selling Joseph into slavery. Their faces revealed what words could not, the weight of conscience is visible in subtle expressions, and God often uses circumstances to confront our hidden sins.

When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?” (Genesis 42:1). This captured both his concern and the irony of the situation. The famine, while a negative event, was part of God’s plan. Even the sons’ jealousy and selfishness, though morally wrong, became tools that ultimately preserved the family and provided sustenance for the nations. This illustrates how God can redirect human flaws and difficult circumstances toward a higher purpose.   Jealousy and hunger, led to a redempti...

Isaac repeats Abraham’s mistakes Although Isaac lived in the Promised Land, this did not translate to mean an easy life, free from hardship. God’s promises are true, but they do not eliminate difficulties, but assure God’s presence and guidance through challenges. Just as Abraham experienced a famine early in his journey of faith [Genesis 12:10], Isaac also encountered a famine in his own time. There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar (Genesis 26:1). Hardships can affect even those who are walking in God’s will. Famine was a serious crisis in the ancient world, crops failed, livestock died, and families faced hunger. Naturally, Isaac began to move south, likely seeking better conditions, just as his father had. However, unlike Abraham, who went all the way to Egypt in his famine, God intervened in Isaac’s situation. As he journeyed toward Gerar, and God warned him not t...
