Favorite Bible Verse?

[Хahar 🤔]

This is a very late reply and also not even an answer to the question in the thread, but my favorite chapter of the Pentateuch is Genesis 24, the chapter where Rebecca is betrothed to Isaac. The scene of the maiden at the well appears several times in the Bible, but this is the first time and the best. Rebecca is probably the most dynamic female character in the whole Pentateuch, while Isaac is the least active of the patriarchs. It will be Rebecca's love for Jacob and not Isaac's for Esau that determines the future course of the house of Abraham. Appropriately, in this chapter where we meet Rebecca, we barely see Isaac at all. Abraham's servant is the one who brings the camels to the well and identifies Rebecca as the promised maiden.

Here too we get to meet Laban and immediately detect his financial keenness, which will prove important somewhat later. The children of Bethuel are the stars of this chapter, and we see how they will both determine the future of the Israelites.
