“…16 Nevertheless, such ad hoc attempts at harmonization seem forced and unconvincing. Almost as dubious are efforts to extract from the conflicting time indications a two-night timetable for the whole event, 17 to dismiss the reference to the stars in vs. 5 as an anticipation of a kind, 18 to argue that trust in the divine promise (vs. 6) is perfectly compatible with requesting a pledge (vs. 8) 19 or to justify the position of vs. 6 as the condition for possessing the land, modeled on Dtr. land theology.…”

Genesis xv: Sequence and Unity

Genesis xv has puzzled many generations of readers. It exhibits leitmotifs and structural features that suggest unity, but also inconsistencies and doublets that suggest the opposite. Rather than gloss over the latter or play down the former, this investigation tries to account for both. A transposition of the two major promise themes, offspring and land, reveals a coherent narrative: vss. 1a, 7-18*, 3-6. Comparison of complex promise speeches in "P" with their "non-P" counterparts shows that the present offspring-land sequence is a great favourite with "P", while "non-P" uses the land-offspring sequence whenever it suits the context. A P-inspired redactor was probably responsible for moving the offspring-centered dialogue to the beginning of Genesis xv, reworking it as a separate episode (vv. 1-6). Th is hypothesis is further supported by an examination of transposition and redactional practice elsewhere, particularly in Gen. xxxv 9-12.

The article re-evaluates the role of Edom within the Jacob narrative and its formation processes. The bulk of the narrative stems from the pre-exilic period, supposedly the 8th century BCE. This article’s distinctive thesis is that Edom’s role undergoes certain developments during its Fortschreibung in the exilic and early Persian periods. The article will venture from the reconciliation scene in Gen 33:1–17*—the original ending of the earliest Jacob narrative—and describe the development of Edom’s role at different stages of its literary growth (e.g., the earliest Patriarchal narrative, the Abraham narrative, or within P). It will be observed that the strong and positive bond between Israel and Edom becomes even tightened within this process, which is remarkable because their relationship arguably worsened to a certain degree in the events accompanying the destruction of the Judahite kingdom. The article will investigate the historical realities behind this development.
