The argument is made that through the use of literary devices, the individual stories of the Abram narrative (Genesis 11-15) were strategically arranged to correspond with Israel's story as told in the Book of Exodus. Although previous commentators have observed some parallels between these two...

總結:The argument is made that through the use of literary devices, the individual stories of the Abram narrative (Genesis 11-15) were strategically arranged to correspond with Israel's story as told in the Book of Exodus.

Potential meanings of this analogy vis-à-vis its similarities and differences are explored, and the use of this extended literary analogy is considered as a framework for appreciating the NT's figural interpretation of some Pentateuchal narratives.
