The style of the Hebrew Bible has long been of significant interest to scholars and exegetes alike. Early Jewish and later Christian commentaries point out the importance of the exact wording in interpreting the text, and many an article has been written on features such as repetition and inclusio. With the rise of literary and narrative criticism in biblical studies, these features have received even more attention. The current book stands in the tradition of Robert Alter in that it focuses on how the text of Genesis is written and phrased. More explicitly, it is interested in why Genesis is formulated the way it is and how this affects the reader in his/her encounter with the text. Doubling and Duplicating is not only concerned with a style-as-analysis frame for interpreters but also with its role as a guide for any audience and its gateway to the ancient mind-set (ideological, ontological, and so on).All of the contributors to this collected volume focus on the form of the book of Genesis—that is, on its use of language and formulation. Yet, each author does this in his/her own way, depending on the most fitting tool for the specific research question or based on the researcher’s methodological background. Thus, the essays represent the various approaches in current literary and stylistic criticism as applied to the biblical corpus. Furthermore, the recurring duality of the features discussed in each of the contributions adds to the overall unity of the volume. This recurrence suggests the presence of a stylistic feature in the book of Genesis, the feature of doubling and duplicating, that surpasses the other features of the individual units or stories. This book offers insights about meaning-making on both the micro- and the macro-text levels.

Sojourn is a Leitwort in the ancestral narratives of Genesis, repeatedly accentuated as an important descriptor of the patriarchs’ identity and experience. This study shows that despite its connotations of alienation, sojourn language in Genesis contributes to a strong communal identity for biblical Israel. An innovative application of Anthony D. Smith’s theory of ethnic myth utilizes the categories of ethnoscape, election, and communal ethics as analytical tools in the investigation of the Genesis sojourn texts. Close exegetical treatment reveals sojourn to strengthen Israel’s ethnic identity in ways that are varied and at times paradoxical. Its very complexity, however, makes it particularly useful as a resource for group identity at times when straightforward categories of territorial and social affiliation may fail.

Il s'agit ici de traverser la Genèse comme qui traverserait le Pacifique à la rame : en profitant de chaque vague. Le livre est volumineux ? Comme son lecteur n'est pas obligé de le lire d'un trait et en suivant, mais peut l'aborder par telle ou telle page – la Création, mais aussi bien Abraham, Noé ou Joseph... –, chaque section fournit un regard sur l'ensemble et l'on n'a pas économisé les reprises. Paradoxalement, la lecture en devient plus confortable. Un jour, les belles traditions historiques, des légendes, voire de vieux mythes, ont été rassemblés pour les Judéens revenus d'exil. On pouvait être tenté de réveiller en eux l'orgueil nationaliste et, par exemple, le désir d'indépendance ou celui d'une royauté. Mais le livre de la Genèse leur propose au contraire un tableau des origines des Nations et d'Israël plus nuancé. L'homme est blessé. Israël est blessé, et si l'on annonce son rôle parmi toutes les Nations, ce sera celui du service : Joseph et ses frères finissent exilés en Égypte. Les rois désirent deux choses, un bon territoire et un fils aîné ? La Genèse écarte l'un et l'autre au profit d'une sorte d'abdication : elle veut purger en l'homme la volonté de puissance. Le vide ainsi obtenu est alors rempli de l'heureuse Présence de Dieu et du frère. Ce que les Prophètes disent d'une voix terrible, la Genèse le monnaie avec lenteur, par des récits à la fois populaires et sages. Et les vieilles légendes, les mythes, les souvenirs historiques sont reliés, patinés, unifiés par une conscience littéraire très sûre. C'est précisément cette finesse, cet art simple et subtil en même temps, que « Le partage de minuit » voudrait donner à saisir
