1. Genesis 4:1-16
Cain and Abel
>
Now Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought an offering to the Lord from the fruit of the ground. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but with did not look with favor on Cain and his offering. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. Now you are cursed, and driven from the earth, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer give you its crops, and you will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

2. Genesis 27:1-45
Jacob and Esau
>
When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could not see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And Esau replied, “Here I am.” Isaac said, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death. Now then, get your weapons—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me. Prepare me some tasty food, the kind I love, and bring it to me to eat, so that I may give you my blessing before I die.” But Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt for game to bring back, Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Listen! I heard your father say to your brother Esau, ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give my blessing to you before the Lord before my death.’ Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you: Go to the flock and bring me two young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it. Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing.” Jacob said to his mother Rebekah, “My brother Esau is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. What if my father touches me? I will appear to him as though I were mocking him and bring a curse on myself instead of a blessing.” But his mother said to him, “May the curse be on me, my son; just do what I say. Go and get them for me.” So he went and got the goats and brought them to his mother, and she prepared some tasty food, just the way his father liked it. Then Rebekah took the best clothes of her older son Esau, which were in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob. She also covered his hands and the smooth part of his neck with the skins of goats. Then she gave her son Jacob the tasty food and the bread she had prepared. He brought them to his father, and Isaac said, “Come near and kiss me, my son.” When Jacob came near, Isaac smelled the smell of his clothes and blessed him, saying, “May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the richness of the earth— abundance of grain and new wine. May nations serve you and peoples bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. May whoever curses you be cursed, and whoever blesses you be blessed.” After Jacob finished speaking to his father, Esau came in from hunting. He too prepared some tasty food and brought it to his father. Then Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” He answered, “I am your son, your firstborn Esau.” Isaac trembled violently and said, “Who was it then that hunted game and brought it to me? I ate it just before you came and I blessed him—and indeed he will be blessed!” When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with a loud and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Do the same for me, my father!” But Isaac said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken your blessing.” Esau said, “Isn’t he rightly named Jacob? He has supplanted me these twice. He took my birthright, and now he’s taken my blessing!” Then he asked, “Haven’t you reserved any blessing for me?” Isaac replied, “I have made him lord over you, and have made all his brothers servants to him. With plenty of grain and new wine I have sustained him, but what can I do for you, my son?” Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, too, my father!” Then Esau lifted up his voice and wept. His father Isaac answered him, “Your dwelling will be away from the earth’s richness, away from the dew of heaven above. You will live by your sword and will serve your brother. But when you become restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck.”
Explanation: This story highlights deceit, favoritism, and the manipulation of relationships within a family for personal gain, leading to deep-seated conflict and resentment.
3. Judges 19:1-30
The Levite and His Concubine
>
In those days Israel had no king; so every Israelite did as they saw fit. In those days a Levite living on the far side of the Ephraimite hill country took a concubine from Bethlehem in Judah. But she was unfaithful to him, and left him and went back to her father’s house in Bethlehem. After she had been gone for four months, her husband, the Levite, set out to get her back and regain her favor. He took with him one of his servants and a couple of donkeys. When he reached her father’s house, the girl’s father met him and was glad to see him. He urged him to stay with him for three days, and they ate and drank and spent the night there. On the fourth day, when they got up early in the morning, the Levite said to his father-in-law, “Send me on my way to my home.” But the girl’s father said, “Rest a little longer, have another meal; stay until afternoon, and then you, with your concubine, can go.” The Levite stood up to leave, but his father-in-law urged him so strongly that he stayed for another meal. On the fifth day, when they got up early in the morning, the Levite said, “Please send me on my way.” His father-in-law asked, “Who is it, and why are you leaving?” He answered, “It is my son-in-law, the Levite, who has come from Bethlehem in Judah.” Then the father-in-law said, “Please stay for another meal; rest before you go.” So they ate and drank together. The man and his concubine and his servant got up to leave the next morning. But the girl’s father said to his son-in-law, “Please, stay another day; spend the night and enjoy yourselves.” The man got up to leave, but his father-in-law insisted so much that he stayed. He ate and drank with them. The man and his servant got up to leave on the sixth day. But the girl’s father said, “Please, stay another night and enjoy yourselves.” As the day wore on, they lingered until evening. The man and his concubine and his servant got up to leave on the seventh day. But his father-in-law said, “The day is almost over; spend another night. You can go tomorrow morning.” The man, however, decided he had to go. He got up and left with his two donkeys. His concubine was with him. They reached the vicinity of Jebus (which is Jerusalem), with the two donkeys saddled and laden. They were heading toward Gibeah in Benjamin. The Levite and his concubine were going to spend the night there, but when they arrived, they went into the city and sat down in the open square, as no one took them into their home for the night. Just then an old man, who came in from his work in the fields, was returning home. He was from the hill country of Ephraim, though he now lived in Gibeah. The men of Gibeah were Benjamites. This man recognized the Levite and his concubine as they were in the open square of the city. He said to them, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?” He answered, “We are coming from Bethlehem in Judah to spend the night in Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin. We are on our way to the far side of the Ephraimite hill country, from which I come. I went to Bethlehem in Judah, and I am on my way to the house of the Lord. But no one has taken me into their home. We have fodder for our donkeys and bread and milk for myself, my concubine, and the young man who is with me.” The old man said, “You are welcome in my home. Do not spend the night in the open square.” So he took them into his house and gave fodder for their donkeys. After they had washed their feet, they ate and drank heartily. As they were enjoying themselves, the men of the town, those wicked men of Gibeah, surrounded the house. They pounded on the door and said to the old man, the owner of the house, “Bring out the man who came into your house, so that we can have sex with him.” The owner went out to them and said, “No, my brothers, don’t act so wickedly. Don’t do this terrible thing, since this man is my guest; do not shame him. I have a virgin daughter and the man’s concubine, and I will bring them out to you now. You can abuse them and do with them whatever you please, and you won’t shame them.” But the men refused to listen to him. So the man took his concubine and pushed her outside to them. They abused her all night long and took advantage of her. They left her when morning came, and she fell down at the entrance to the man’s house on the day she died. Her husband found her that morning with her hands on the threshold of the house. He said to her, “Get up, let’s go.” But there was no answer. He put her on his donkey and set out for home. When he reached his house, he took a knife and grabbed his concubine. He cut her into twelve pieces by cutting her into twelve parts and sent her to every region of Israel. Everyone who saw it said, “Such a thing has never been seen or heard of since the day the Israelites came up out of Egypt until this day. Consider it, give your counsel and speak out.”
Explanation: This tragic account depicts extreme violence, moral decay, and the horrific consequences of societal breakdown, where even basic hospitality and protection are denied, leading to unspeakable acts within a community that should have provided safety.
4. 1 Samuel 1:1-20
Hannah’s Prayer
>
There was a man from Ramathaim, a Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Elkanah son of Jeroham, son of Elihu, son of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite. He had two wives; one was called Hannah and the other Peninnah. Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children. This man, Elkanah, would go up from his town every year to worship and sacrifice to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord. Whenever the days for sacrifices came, Elkanah would give portions of the meat to his wife Peninnah and to all her sons and daughters. But to Hannah he gave a double portion, because he loved her, even though the Lord had kept her from conceiving. And because the Lord had kept her from conceiving, her rival Peninnah tormented her fiercely, making her miserable. This happened year after year. Whenever they went up to the house of the Lord, Peninnah would torment Hannah, and Hannah would weep and refuse to eat. Her husband Elkanah would ask her, “Hannah, why are you weeping? Why aren’t you eating? Why your heart is troubled? Do you not more to you than ten sons?” One day, after the sacrificial meal, Hannah got up. While Eli the priest was sitting on his chair by the doorpost of the Lord’s temple, Hannah was weeping bitterly. She prayed to the Lord, weeping and praying. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give your servant a son, then I will give him back to the Lord all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.” As she kept on praying before the Lord, Eli observed her mouth. Hannah was praying in her heart, and her lips were moving but her voice was not heard; so Eli thought she was drunk. Then Eli said to her, “How long will you stay drunk? Put away your wine.” But Hannah replied, “Not so, my lord. I am a woman who is deeply troubled. I have not been drinking wine or beer; I’ve been pouring out my soul to the Lord. Don’t take your servant for a fool; I’ve been praying from great anguish and grief.” Eli answered, “Go in peace, and the God of Israel will grant what you have asked of him.” Hannah said, “May I find favor in your eyes.” Then she went away and ate, and her face was no longer downcast. Early the next morning they arose and worshiped the Lord, and then went back to their home in Ramah. Elkanah made love to his wife Hannah, and the Lord remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”

So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him into his fields to feed pigs. He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will set out and go back to my father and say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.”’ “So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran to his son, embraced him and kissed him. “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. He called to one of the servants and asked what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’ “The older son became angry, would not go in, and his father came out and pleaded with him. But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders, yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’ “ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.

Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live! They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
