Explanation

(a) Paul wrote to the Thessalonians on the dignity of labour. He rebuked and disowned those brothers in the church who lived in idleness for they were not living according to the laid down rules of the church. He encouraged them to imitate his exemplary life. He did not in any way like idleness, neither did he depend on their material support for living. He worked for his earning and paid for what he ate. Paul did not imply that anyone who work in the house of God should not be entitled to wages. He had to put teaching into practice by saying if anyone would not work, let him not eat.

Paul particularly mentioned those members whom he heard had refused to work but were relying on others. commanded them to do away with such habits. He finally warned that if any member should refuse to listen to instruction, such a member should be isolated. This would make him to be ashamed of himself with a view to thinking his actions. The church, Paul warned should not regard such members as enemies but they should be treated with all human sympathy.

(b) Reasons why individual professions should be respected include:

(i) No particular job is indispensable.

(ii) All jobs are complementary.

(iii) We should not look at any job as menial.

(iv) We must work to earn a living for others to be encouraged by our example.

Correct Answer: A) he wanted to be buried at Canaan in the cave at Ephron

Explanation

In Genesis 49:29, a man expressed his wish to be buried with his fathers. The question is asking what he meant by that wish. The options provided are: A) he wanted to be buried at Canaan in the cave at Ephron (which is the correct answer), B) he wanted to be buried at Jericho, C) he wanted to commune with his ancestors, and D) he wanted to be close to his father.

To understand the answer, we need to look at the context of the verse. In Genesis 49, Jacob (also known as Israel) is on his deathbed and is giving blessings to his sons. In verse 29, he specifically requests to be buried with his fathers. This is a common theme in the Bible, where people often expressed a desire to be buried with their ancestors or in a certain place.

Option A is correct because Jacob specifically requested to be buried in the cave at Ephron in Canaan, which is where his fathers were buried. In fact, in Genesis 50:13, we see that his sons fulfilled this request and buried him there. Option B is incorrect because Jacob did not express a desire to be buried in Jericho. Option C is incorrect because while Jacob may have wanted to commune with his ancestors, that was not his specific wish in this verse. Option D is also incorrect because while Jacob may have wanted to be close to his father, his wish was specifically to be buried with his fathers in the cave at Ephron.

In summary, the correct answer is option A, which reflects Jacob's specific wish to be buried at Canaan in the cave at Ephron with his fathers.
