2 | Significance of tearing his clothes? | Gen 37:34 | ra_Jesus_is_Savior | 172818 | ||
Genesis 44:13 - Rending or ripping clothes was an expression of deep sorrow, a customary manner of showing grief. Joshua 7:6 - Joshua and the elders tore their clothing and put dust upon their heads as signs of deep mourning before God. They were confused by their defeat at the small city of Ai after the spectacular Jericho victory, so they went before God in deep humility and sorrow to receive his instructions. When our lives fall apart, we also should turn to God for direction and help. Like Joshua and the elders, we should humble ourselves so that we will be able to hear his word. |
