Document Details : Title: Abraham-Lot Cycle (Genesis 12-13; 18-19) Subtitle: A New Proposal Author(s): AMAR, Itzhak Journal: Biblica Volume: 106 Issue: 1 Date: 2025 Pages: 1-26 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.106.1.3294356 Abstract : Within the discussion of the origin of the Book of Genesis overall, with a specific focus on the narratives of Abraham, Herman Gunkel posited in his commentary on Genesis that the series of tales involving Lot and Abraham (Genesis 13, 18-19) constitutes the ancient core of the Abraham narratives, subsequently expanded by non-priestly authors. This article endeavors to reassess the coherence of these chapters, to set their approximate beginning and end, and to ascertain the inherent characteristics of the core in relation to the expansions identified within it. |
