SCRIPTURE
COMMENT
Here's what I see as I read this chapter. Israel is still guilty before God, and is deserving of punishment. The striving of Jacob, and his defeating of an angel is an interesting note in the chapter, and perhaps hints at a return to God, but the sins and arrogance of Israel are again brought in to view.
Vs. 9,10: I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast. I spoke to the prophets; it was I who multiplied visions, and through the prophets gave parables.
God is still in charge. I wonder if the idea of again dwelling in tents means the taking away of their homes and making them nomads again.
