1.     3: 6-20.  What is he offence of Judah? And what aggravated it in the eyes of God? What forms does this sin take today? Cf. Jas. 4:4; 1 Jn. 5:20, 21. What does God offer, and on what conditions?
2.     Trace the process of restoration as outlined in 3:21 – 4:4. What is meant by such phrases as ‘Break up your fallow ground’ and ‘Circumcise yourself to the Lord’? Cf. 9:26; Dt. 10:16; Rom. 2:28, 29.
