| |  Genesis 29:8
I wasn't sure where to put this question but here it goes. Quote: |
But they said, "We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep." (Genesis 29:8)
| Our TE is going through Genesis and, although this had absolutely nothing to do with his teaching today this verse jumped out at me while we were reading it. I know this is pulling this verse out of context, I was wondering if it's a stretch to link this verse to Christ's tomb and the stone being rolled away?

John,
I think it is a "stretch"; it was common to place large stones over caves/burial tombs, wells and such to keep them secure. I do not see any connection.
