What Genesis Doesn’t Say: Jasher, Cain & Abel, and the Hidden Meaning of the Patriarchs | Rob Skiba

Описание: This video is the first installment in a new weekly Bible study series from Virtual House Church, beginning the Torah cycle with Bereshit (Genesis 1:1–6:8).

Following the tradition observed after the Feast of Sukkot, the Torah scroll is rolled back to the beginning—Genesis 1—marking a fresh cycle of reading and study. In this session, Rob Skiba explores not only the biblical text itself, but also ancient supplemental sources that expand and clarify the early Genesis narrative.

Key topics in this clip include:

• The restart of the Torah cycle and the reading of Bereshit
• Insights from the Book of Jasher and how it elaborates on Genesis
• The meanings of the names of the first ten patriarchs—from Adam to Noah—and how, when combined, they form a striking prophetic sentence pointing to redemption
• A recommended resource for studying biblical names: A Dictionary of Scripture Proper Names by J.B. Jackson

The study then moves into a reading of Jasher Chapter 1, which provides additional detail on:

• The creation of Adam and Eve
• The serpent’s role in humanity’s disobedience
• The children of Adam and Eve
• Cain and Abel’s offerings and the events leading up to Abel’s death
• Cain’s repentance, Abel’s burial, and the building of the city of Enoch

This clip is ideal for viewers interested in Torah study, early Genesis, ancient Jewish sources, and deeper textual analysis beyond surface-level readings.
