Excerpt from A New Commentary on Genesis, Vol. 2
Two solemn revelations open in ch. Xv. The second section of the life of Abraham. The narrative falls into two halves. It is impossible to regard all from beginning to end as occurring in vision. For (1) if one revelation takes place at night, or at least with a transposition to night, the other is made in the day, and indeed at eventicle, the sun being at ver. 12 about to set, and at ver. 17 actually set. And (2) the account of Abraham's believing reception of the promise of a posterity numeious as the stars of heaven ver. 6 separates what pre ceded from What follows, which though it appears from the 16x mm, 7 a, to have immediately succeeded, has yet its own special introduction. Dillmann here carries analysis even farther beyond the bounds of the discernible than Wellhausen does. The safest criterion from Gen. I. To ex. Vi., and one which must only be relinquished for cogent reasons, is the Divine names. The use of these is in both halves of ch. Xv. The same. In both mm is the prevailing one, and With it occurs once in each rm rm, to be read according to the punctuation d?sn figs, a combination of Divine names Which, thus written, is unusual. This mm ms, here twice used, gives to this historical picture in its two departments, as to the prophetic image, Isa. 1. 4 - 9, where it is four times used.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the second section of the life of Abraham as described in the biblical book of Genesis. Through an analysis of the text, the author uncovers the significance of Godâs covenant with Abraham, as sealed through the sign of circumcision. Over two chapters, the author explores the continuation of the Abrahamic narrative, in which God confirms His covenant, giving Abraham the name of promise, Abraham, and instituting circumcision as its sign. The book traces the historical and literary context of circumcision, examining its practice among neighboring nations. The author discusses the thematic depth of the Abrahamic covenant and circumcision, delving into the significance of these rituals within the broader narrative of Israel's relationship with God. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of the theological and historical importance of circumcision as a symbol of God's promise and His people's commitment to Him.
