The Image of Dan as a Serpent
In Genesis 49, Jacob blesses each of his sons. The words he speaks are beautiful, but they can be hard to understand. When he gets to Dan, he compares his son to a serpent. A strange blessing for a child, isn't it? Therefore, the commentary on this imagery over the years of biblical interpretation and tradition has yielded some very curious explanations. Dan became a symbol of something very evil. In this 47-minute-long lesson (recorded live with audience participation), we take a closer look at the imagery and consider what it might actually mean.
