Genesis 11 - 28

In this third part of the bible there is more than one story. The first story relates to the Tower of Babel where the descendents of Noah and his family decide that they want to build a tower so high that it could reach the heavens. And God decides that this is not what humans are meant for doing, so God decide that all the people who are constructing this enormous building change their native language. This story is really straight forward and teaches us that there are better thing to do than to reach the heavens.

The other story that is presented in this third part of the bible is Abrahams story his sons and his life. Abraham is a descendent from Noah and is another of the chosen persons on earth by God to be their profit. In one of the stories of Abraham is the Story of Jacob the dreamer. Jacob was one of Abraham’s many sons and because of the greed of his brothers Jacob was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt to work as a slave. So we can see that greediness is seen in all of humans even in those days and it seems as if it was something natural that makes us sinners. This passage shows us what some greediness can lead to. The question that is left behind is, we greedy, how do we manage it?
