Provide an interpretation of the two passages given below. Remember I want you to go deep. Ponder the passages and do not settle for superficial answers! Remember also to connect these passages to what comes before them and what comes after; but also remember: do not spend too much of your precious time and space retelling the story. After all your reader is already familiar with it. Remember that what I am evaluating you on is your ability to provide an intelligent interpretation grounded thoroughly in the given text. In the course of your essay you need to answer each of the questions I provided alongside the passages in addition to whatever else you want to include. You may use your Bibles Bergsma and your notes. DO NOT USE INTERNET SOURCES.
