Through a close reading of the Genesis texts, particularly the Jacob cycle (Gen 24–27), this article explores how Rebekah, despite appearing marginalized by her cultural context, exerts significant influence over the transmission of the divine blessing. The analysis focuses on the narrative structure, Rebekah’s characterization, and her unique relationship with God, which enables her to navigate complex familial dynamics and ensure the continuation of God’s plan through her son Jacob. Additionally, the paper discusses the typological connections between Rebekah and Abraham, as well as the broader implications of her story in Christian theology, especially in relation to divine election as articulated by Paul in Romans 9. Rebekah’s narrative is thus presented as a profound example of the interplay between divine sovereignty and human agency, demonstrating how Rebekah plays a crucial role in the fulfilment of covenantal promisesČlanek obravnava lik Rebeke v svetopisemski pripovedi in izpostavlja njeno vlogo osrednjega akterja pri izpolnitvi Abrahamove zaveze. Z natančnim branjem besedil prve Mojzesove knjige, zlasti Jakobovega cikla (1 Mz 24–27), ta članek raziskuje, kako ima Rebeka kljub temu, da se zdi v svojem kulturnem kontekstu marginalizirana, pomemben vpliv na prenos Božjega blagoslova. Analiza se osredotoča na pripovedno strukturo, Rebekino karakterizacijo in njen edinstven odnos z Bogom, ki ji omogoča, da se znajde v zapleteni družinski dinamiki in zagotovi nadaljevanje Božjega načrta prek svojega sina Jakoba. Poleg tega članek obravnava tipološke povezave med Rebeko in Abrahamom ter širše posledice njene zgodbe v krščanski teologiji, zlasti v povezavi z izvolitvijo, kot jo Pavel izrazi v Rim 9. Rebekina pripoved je tako predstavljena kot globok primer prepletanja med Božjo suverenostjo in človeškim delovanjem, le–ta prikazuje, kako ima Rebeka ključno vlogo pri izpolnitvi obljub zavezeTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Teološka fakulteta
