A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 24:28-49

28 And the damsel ran, and told them of her mother's house these things.

29 And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran out unto the man, unto the well.

30 And it came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

31 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; wherefore standest thou without? for I have prepared the house, and room for the camels.

32 And the man came into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that were with him.

33 And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

34 And he said, I am Abraham's servant.

35 And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.

36 And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.

37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:

38 But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.

39 And I said unto my master, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

40 And he said unto me, The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father's house:

41 Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath, when thou comest to my kindred; and if they give not thee one, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

42 And I came this day unto the well, and said, O Lord God of my master Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I go:

43 Behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass, that when the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water of thy pitcher to drink;

44 And she say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels: let the same be the woman whom the Lord hath appointed out for my master's son.

45 And before I had done speaking in mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the well, and drew water: and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

46 And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: so I drank, and she made the camels drink also.

47 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, the daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets upon her hands.

48 And I bowed down my head, and worshipped the Lord, and blessed the Lord God of my master Abraham, which had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter unto his son.

49 And now if ye will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me: and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left.

Genesis 24:50-67

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the Lord: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good. 51 Behold, Rebekah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be thy master's son's wife, as the Lord hath spoken.

52 And it came to pass, that, when Abraham's servant heard their words, he worshipped the Lord, bowing himself to the earth.

53 And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave also to her brother and to her mother precious things.

54 And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.

55 And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days, at the least ten; after that she shall go.

56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the Lord hath prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.

57 And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.

58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

59 And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men.

60 And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

61 And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

62 And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country.

63 And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels were coming.

64 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

65 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant had said, It is my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.

66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done.

67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

Years ago, when we were looking at Paul's Letter to the Ephesians, I related a story about an elderly, retired FBI Agent who took piano lessons from me. Although age and injury had taken his eyesight, he was still "sharp as a tack", and was one of my favorite students. (I'll call him "Jimmy" in this story, but that wasn't his real name.) For the Record, I'm always trying to figure out new ways to teach Music Theory, because it's a difficult subject!

Here's how I was able to teach Jazz Piano to a Blind Former FBI Agent who had been involved in the investigation of the NYC Mob. This may be a little bit of "Inside Baseball" to folks who are not into Music Theory, but there WILL be a connection to our Bible Study at the end. I PROMISE!

Jazz, and indeed all of Western Music, is based upon three elements: Melody, Rhythm, and Harmony. Melody and Rhythm are obvious. Jimmy could already pick out the tunes of his favorite Jazz Standards on the piano. Rhythm was also pretty easy. It was the HARMONY where we got bogged down.

Usually I taught Harmony visually, deftly drawing a chart called "The Circle of Fifths", and placing the chord progressions on the circle, as if on the face of a clock. This wasn't going to work with a blind person. I had to come up with some kind of chart that Jimmy could visualize in his head, and understand which chords resolved to which, as "Chord Resolution" is the Key to Western Harmony. Then it dawned on me! At the various trials of the Mob, the FBI had presented flow charts of who answered to whom in the "Family". And so, I improvised, as any Jazz Musician is supposed to do. Here we go:

There are Seven Chords in the Diatonic Chord Family. They have a hierarchy and "answer to" (resolve) to specific chords in the family.

The First Chord is The Tonic Chord. This is the BOSS. The "Capo del Tutti Capi". He is the one who gives the Scale it's name (for example, the Tonic in the key of C Major is the C Major Chord) Everything eventually answers (resolves) to him.

The FIVE CHORD (Dominant) Five notes up from the Tonic is the FIVE Chord. This is the "Underboss". The Underboss reports directly to the Boss. It has a sound that dominates one's ears and nearly forces your mind back to the Tonic. If you look at nearly any pop standard, you will see that the second-to-last chard is almost always the FIVE Chord, which directs you back to the Tonic. This is called "Chord Resolution".

The FOUR Chord (Sub-Dominant) The Four Chord is located just under the Dominant, and therefore is called the "Sub-Dominant". He is the "Consiglieri". He answers directly to the Underboss, who then resolves to the Boss. Sometimes the Four Chord goes directly to the Boss, but it is not as "satisfying" a resolution bypassing the Underboss. In fact, in Music Theory,the "4 to 1" is called a "Plagial" or "Incomplete" Cadence.

The 2m, 3m, and 6m Chords These are all weaker chords and have to go through either the Consiglieri or the Underboss to resolve. I used the analogy of Street Captains for these chords.

The SEVEN CHORD (Fredo) The Seventh chord in the sequence is called a "Diminished" Chord due to its structure. This is Fredo. He keeps getting passed over, and is even referred to as a "passing chord". He doesn't even appear on the Circle of Fifths, but he's Family, so we give him little jobs to do.

Jimmy GOT it right away, and from that point onward was improvising over Chord Progressions like a Pro.

Although I'll never expect my "method" to be taught in the Conservatory, Jimmy was able to visualize a Flow Chart in his mind that probably resembled the Charts presented by the Prosecutor during the Mob Trials of the mid 20th Century. I remembered seeing them on the YV News Coverage of the trials. He was THERE.

Just like the Chart, Rebecca's Family had a hierarchy. Since her father must have passed away, she was now under the Authority of her brother Laban. When we look at HIS personality later, we'll see that he was QUITE a "Character".

Not only does Laban need to be convinced, but there are other "minor chords" in the Family, all seeking "resolution", which Eliezer provides by giving them ALL expensive gifts from his Master Abraham. He may not legally need the consent of all of them, but, why make trouble if it can be avoided?

Meanwhile, in my opinion, the one who counts the most in this transaction is Rebecca herself. Surely she's more than just a commodity for the family to bicker over. Tomorrow we shall see that, in the end, it all resolves back to HER.

In a Bronze-Age Nomadic Culture, where women weren't treated as equals, that in itself goes down like a refreshing TONIC. (Sorry...Couldn't Help Myself!)
