Genesis 35:16-29 - Reformed/Calvinist Perspective
In the Reformed tradition, Genesis 35:16-29 demonstrates God's sovereignty in the lives of His covenant people, particularly through the painful realities of life and death. The passage emphasizes God's faithfulness to His promises, as seen in the birth of Benjamin and the death of Rachel, which reflects the ongoing unfolding of His redemptive plan through the line of Jacob.
