They had to bury their earrings with their foreign gods? Why? Was jewelery a form of worship to the other gods?
It seems a nice gesture that the oak under which Deborah (Rebekah's nurse) was buried was the called the "oak of weeping". I think it's sweet. Evidently Deborah was loved very much.
Rachel named her second son "son of my trouble" Ben-Oni with her last breath. Abraham made his name Benjamin, "son of my right hand". Did Abraham not want his son to have a name that seemed to prophesy more trouble?
It is interesting that Reuben sleeping with Bilhah is mentioned followed by the statement that his father heard of it. Did Reuben get in trouble? Was a child conceived? Is this incident ever mentioned anywhere else?
