Society of Biblical Literature - Not Just Isaac’s Wife: Rebekah as Chosen One

  • 900 E Birch St Brea, CA 92821 USA (map)

Traditionally categorized as a deceitful wife, Rebekah of Genesis has been easily disregarded. What happens, though, when we see her not just as wife, but as one who is in relationship with God? Her situation is a complicated one: she is given information from God regarding her sons, but is denied any instructions about what to do with it. I examined her from this lens, comparing her to the characters in Genesis who, like her, are given information from God, but not instructions.
