Session VIII, Day 2


What a week it has been already!  I hope yours is moving at a slower pace than mine, and that you have had an opportunity to read through the fascinating story of Esther.  Today we are going to look back and learn a bit about the history leading up to the events we will further study in Esther. 

ASSIGNMENT:

Read Ex. 17:8-15 and Deut. 25:17-19 and summarize what you learn about the ongoing Amalekite/Israelite conflict in your notebooks.
Ponder This...
Could Haman’s Amalekite origins/history have played a role in his hatred of the Jews?
