2.       For various examples of God’s revelation, see Genesis 3:9-19, 16:7-12, Exodus 3:1-2, 14:15-30, Deuteronomy 8:3, 34:5-7, 1 Kings 19:13, Ezekiel 1:1, Daniel 2:28, Hosea 12:10

I’m wondering if footnotes may be more appropriate than these comments as I look over them! You might notice these comments are few compared to the previous set. Do you think there is a need to include such comments as the end of the sessions? Let me know below!
