I thought I'd share one from this week.
Now as Jacob went on his way, the angels of God met him. [Genesis 32:1 (NASB)]
That's from when Jacob is returning to see his father and Esau after having been with Laban for twenty years. I was well aware of the later encounter of Jacob with the man who wrestles with him, but I had never noticed these angels who met him prior to that.
If you can easily capture these verses, I encourage you to do so (although I would discourage anything that makes you less likely to read).
I didn't know that Jews do not eat the meat of the hip socket because Jacob's hip tendon was torn when he wrestled God. Just didn't remember this.
