Do you ever read the bible and come across something and think “I never knew that!”. I have been doing that a few times recently as I have been reading through Genesis. How many times have I read Genesis!!! Must be quite a few (especially when I start a reading plan that begins there and then I don’t get past Exodus). So here are a couple of things I never realised:

1) Abraham remarried after the death of Sarah and had another 6 kids with his new wife.
2) When Jacob was tricked into marrying Leah after 7 years work in order to marry Rachel, he was then allowed to marry Rachel 7 days later, and then pay for her retrospectively by working for another 7 years. I always thought he worked the extra 7 years before marrying Rachel.

I’m sure there will be more to come. Shows that we never know as much as we think we know.
