|
|
| NOTE. |
|
It will
be seen from page 17 in
The Companion Bible,
Genesis
11:20—25:1,
that
"THE
GENERATIONS OF
TERAH"
are arranged in a
Repeated Alternation,
and that the Alternation
there given is only so far as
ABRAHAM
is concerned.
The Histories
are divided up,
and alternated with a
brief summary of certain
Posterities.
But the
same principle of structure
runs through not only the
history of Terah,
but also that of Abraham,
Isaac,
and Jacob.
The sevenfold alternations
may be presented as follows:—
|
| A1 | | 11:27—22:19. History of Abraham. I. | Abraham. | |
| B1 | 22:20-24. Posterity of Nahor. | |||
| A2 | | 23:24. History of Abraham. II. | ||
| B2 | 25:1-4. Posterity of Keturah. | |||
| A3 | | 25:5-11. History of Abraham. III. | ||
| B3 | 25:12-18. Posterity of Ishmael. |
| A4 | | 25:19—35:22. History of Isaac (Life). I. | Isaac. | |
| B4 | 35:22-26. Posterity of Jacob (Land). | |||
| A5 | | 35:27-29. History of Isaac (Death). II. | ||
| B5 | 36. Posterity of Esau. |
| A6 | | 37:1—46:7. History of Jacob. I. | Jacob. | |
| B6 | 46:8-27. Posterity of Jacob (Land). | |||
| A7 | | 46:28—50:26. History of Jacob. II. | ||
| B7 | Exodus 1:1-6. Posterity of Jacob (Egypt). |
