Béla , a king of Edom, has given way to Jobab , son of
Zaré , an event that reminds us of the continuity of kingdom and the divine plan through generations. This passage invites us to reflect on the
sovereignty of God in the history of men, as emphasizes
Genesis 37: 5 , where Joseph's dreams reveal the design of God. By meditating on these stories, we discover that each reign, even ephemeral, is part of a larger plan.
