Were the teraphim (household gods) Rachel stole from Laban like a deed to his property?
While there are several questions related to this occurrence in Gen. 31:19, none seem to mention this as even possible. It was also not mentioned in a resent commentary I read. That the teraphim acted as a property deed was the answer gi…

If Mark was dependent on Luke, then why would Mark exclude the Q material from Luke?
