| Summary: | Genesis 13-14-15 form a discrete literary unit which portrays Abraham as generous, courageous, and yet upset and deeply discouraged. The chapters divide into two parts, 13-14 and then 15. Pairs or dualities, as well as external and internal conflicts characterize these subsections, often highlighting divergence or difference. Several significant theme-/leading-words each appear seven times in these chapters. Further, there are seven occasions in each subsection (13-14 and 15) where the name of the deity appears as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH. |
