1 | Reticence In The Jacob/Esau Story? | Gen 25:31 | Cleomedes | 97793 | ||
What does 'reticence' mean with regard to Bible study? For example, I've been told that the Jacob/Esau story in Genesis contains notable examples of reticence. Is this where the author holds back information, thus emphasising the importance of what he does give us? Eg. He doesn't provide us with detailed physical descriptions for the two brothers, except when it plays an important part in the story (ie. Esau's hairiness). Thanks. |
