Summary: | The topic of the present article is the literary exegesis of Old Testament narratives, in particular the story of Jacob in Genesis 25-49. It looks at new perspectives emerging from the exegetical examination of two key passages (Gen 28:10-22 und Gen 35:1-15) which play a salient role in the Jacob narrative. Two questions are discussed in particular: how does the story portray Jacob and what function is assigned to Jacob in these episodes of his encounter with God? The article affirms that the narrative describes Jacob as a link in the patriarchal chain Abraham - Isaac - Jacob, and that the description of him is not purely negative but in a complex narrative fashion embedded in the framework of the larger story. |
