This based on the fact that the marriage of Abraham and Keturah and the list of their sons comes after the account of Sarah's death. Abraham had two wives: Sarah and Keturah. They lived in separate households on a north-south axis. Sarah resided in Hebron and Keturah in Beersheba. This followed the pattern of the Hebrew ruler-priests. The wives marked the northern and southern boundaries of Abraham's territory.<br /><br />Biblical scholars who approach the Bible from literary analysis have noted this block logic. They sometimes speak of story cycles, or strands of pearls. One frequently overlooked cycle is found in Genesis 36. This pertains to the Horite Hebrew of Edom. Edom was Abraham's territory. It extended between Hebron in the north to Beersheba in the south, and from Engedi in the east to Gerar in the west.Alice C.

Reading it in a linear fashion, verse 11 before 14, it is problematic - though I'm guessing the counter would be that "light" was already created.Wading Acrossnoreply@blogger.com
