Gen 12: Two Journeys to Canaan and the Choosing of Abram

Guest: Dr. Zvi Shimon. Genesis 12 does not begin in isolation. Abram’s call is set within an earlier, incomplete journey led by Terah. This episode explores the relationship between these two movements toward Canaan and what they reveal about divine calling, human initiative, and election.

Key Themes

• The continuity between Genesis 11 and 12
• Two journeys toward the same destination
