GENESIS 34-50 – ALEXANDER SCOURBY || Aretherra© A Story by ELGardner

---

A certain structure of Genesis can be seen in the fact that eleven times the Hebrew word “toledoth” (generations, histories) is mentioned as conclusion – or introduction – of a report.

Similar stereotype statements are known from cuneiform tables from Mesopotamia.

The word “toledoth” occurs in the following passages:

1. Chapter 2:4: These are the histories of the heavens and the earth.
2. Chapter 5:1: This is the book of Adam’s generations
3. Chapter 6:9: This is the history of Noah
4. Chapter 10:1: These are the generations of the sons of Noah
5. Chapter 11:10: These are the generations of Shem
6. Chapter 11:27: These are the generations of Terah
7. Chapter 25:12: These are the generations of Ishmael
8. Chapter 25:19: These are the generations of IsaacChapter 36:1: These are the generations of Esau
9. Chapter 36:9: These are the generations of Esau
10. Chapter 37:2: These are the generations of Jacob

And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Matthew 22:37‭-‬39 RSV
