Likewise, in Genesis 32:28 (NKJV) the Angel of the Lord said to Jacob, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.” However, fourteen chapters later (Genesis 46:2, NKJV), the scripture records the following: “Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, ‘Jacob, Jacob!’.” In the second example above, if we take what the scripture records about Jacob’s name change to Israel without 1.

In both the textbook and the reading slides the following Psalms that resonate with me are praise, thanksgiving, and creation.

Genesis 1: 11-13 Essay

The three approaches discussed are allegorical, literal, and semiallegorical (Ryrie, 1999, p. 125-126). An individual who uses the allegorical approach uses symbols instead of the actual words in the Bible to interpret its meaning; whereas one who takes the literal approach to interpreting the Bible does so by reading the exact words used.
