Genesis: A Devotional Commentary - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Introduction A braham if the purpose had been to record the I ntroordinary history of an ordinary people; yet inasduction. much as Israel was not an ordinary people, but charged with God spurposes for the whole of mankind, it was necessary to show at least in brief form the connection between the progenitor of the human race and A braham, in whom and in whose descendants the Divine purpose was to be realised. The two main divisions, therefore, are chapters i. to xi. and chapters xii. to 1. The former section can be divided by the Flood, and the two parts referred respectively to A dam as the head of the original race, and to Noah as the head of the new race. Then follows the record of A braham, the head of the family through which God spurposes for the race were to be fulfilled, and the story of his three great descendants I saac, Jacob, and Joseph. Before proceeding to a more detailed consideration of the book it is essential that these main outlines should be clearly in view. II. I ts Plan. Taking up the book again for the Plan of the purpose of fuller study, as we look at it more Work closely we become conscious of the recurrence of a phrase, These are the generations, or The book of the generations, and we observe that it occurs no fewer than ten times.
