Day 1
We ended Genesis 35, and now we are starting Genesis 36! In preparation for the lessons to come, let’s read all of Genesis 36 to your Tiny Arrows!
Day 2
Abraham and Sarah had Isaac. Isaac and Rebekah had two sons, Esau and Jacob! They were twins! Esau was born first and Jacob second, but Jacob received the birthright and their father’s blessing. We know that Jacob had 12 sons and 1 daughter and for this chapter we are going to learn about Esau’s family! Today let’s read Genesis 36:1 and color and find Esau on the family tree!
This is the account of the family line of Esau (that is, Edom). – Genesis 36:1 NIV
Day 3
Esau married 2 women who were from Canaan and he also married the daughter of Ishmael! Esau had three wives! Today let’s read Genesis 36:2-3 and color the coloring page!
Esau took his wives from the women of Canaan: Adah daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon the Hivite—also Basemath daughter of Ishmael and sister of Nebaioth. – Genesis 36:2-3 NIV
Day 4
When Esau was in Canaan he had sons! His wife Adah had one son Eliphaz, his wife Basemath had one son Reuel and his wife Oholibamah had three sons; Jeush, Jalam and Korah. Today let’s read Genesis 36:4-5 and count how many sons Esau had! 5!
Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan. – Genesis 36:4-5 NIV
Day 5
Esau had lived in Canaan, but then he decided to move. He took his family, everyone who lived with him, his animals and all his things and moved! Today let’s read Genesis 36:6 and talk about moving. When you move, what do you take? Your family comes along, you take your pets and all your stuff! Everything but the house and the land it’s on! That’s what Esau did!
Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan, and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob.. – Genesis 36:6 NIV
Day 6
We learned that Esau was moving! The reason he was moving was because he and his brother Jacob had too much stuff! They both had too much livestock to live off the land! You can have about 5 sheep on one acre of land, and each brother had hundreds if not thousand of sheep! That’s a lot of land needed to support them! Today let’s read Genesis 36:7 and grab 10 small objects to represent sheep and a piece of chalk. Draw a small circle outside and place the 5 “sheep” inside of it. Now show your Tiny Arrow that you have 10 “sheep” but you need more room! Then draw a bigger circle around the first one and place the rest of the sheep inside
Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. – Genesis 36:7 NIV
Day 7
Esau left Canaan and moved to the hill country of Seir! Today let’s read Genesis 36:8 and color the map!
So Esau (that is, Edom) settled in the hill country of Seir. – Genesis 36:8 NIV
Day 8
Esau settled in Seir and lived there a long time. Since he was also called Edom, his family was called the Edomites! Today let’s read Genesis 36:9 and have fun making a name for the descendants who would come from your Tiny Arrow! For example, if your Tiny Arrows name was John, his children would be the Johnites! Just like Esau or Edom’s children were the Edomites!
This is the account of the family line of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir. – Genesis 36:9 NIV
Day 9
Esau had sons! Two of his wives had one son! Adah had Eliphaz and Basemath had Reuel! Eliphaz means God is fine gold and came from Adah which means Ornament. Reuel means Friend of God and he came from Basemath which means Fragrance! Today let’s read Genesis 36:10 and write down the meaning of your name and their name and put it together like this: Name which means Blank came from Name which means Blank!
There are the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau’s wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau’s wife Basemath. – Genesis 36:10 NIV
Day 10
Esau had 5 sons! His son Eliphaz also had 5 sons! Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenez! Today let’s read Genesis 36:11 and go over the meaning of each child’s name and then talk about that definition. Teman means the south! Grab a compass and show your Tiny Arrow which way is south! Omar means thriving! Ask your Tiny Arrow if something is thriving, is it growing well or bad? Well! Zepho means watch! Have your Tiny Arrow watch something for a few seconds, explaining that they are concentrating on one spot at one time! Gatam means their touch! Have your Tiny Arrow touch your hand! Kenez means bright! Turn on the light in a room and explain with the light on, the room becomes bright! Then turn the light off so they can see the opposite!
These are the sons of Eliphaz: Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam and Kenez. – Genesis 36:11 NIV
Day 11
Eliphaz had another son, Amalek! Amalek was the founder of the Amalekites! The nation who kept fighting Israel! Today let’s read Genesis 36:13 and Exodus 17:8-16 and read about the Amalekites fighting against Israel on their way to the Promised Land!
Esau’s son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were the grandsons of Esau’s wife Adah. – Genesis 36:12 NIV
Day 12
Esau’s son Reuel had 4 boys too! They were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah! Today let’s read Genesis 36:13 and let’s go over what each name means! Nahath means quiet! Ask your Tiny Arrow to shout then be quiet! Zerah means dawn! Show your Tiny Arrow a picture of a video of the dawn! Shammah means appalling desolation! Appalling is a feeling we can have and can be when something is disgusting to us! Ask your Tiny Arrow if there is something that is gross to them. Maybe ketchup on the PB&J? Mizzah means to faint with fear! There are certain goats called fainting goats who faint when scared! You can watch the video to see! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f_3Utmj4RPU
The sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah and Mizzah. These were grandsons of Esau’s wife Basemath. – Genesis 36:13 NIV
