Summary:
Die Studie untersucht Gen 12,3 im Kontext des Buches Genesis. Der Vers ist in erster Linie als Verheißung der Gewissheit und Größe für Abraham und Israel zu verstehen. Insbesondere angesichts seiner Platzierung nach Gen 1-11 weist er jedoch auch auf Gottes Plan hin, seinen Segen auf alle Völker der Erde auszudehnen. Die Arbeit untersucht die engsten Parallelen im Buch Genesis und in Num 24,9, die diese Interpretation bestätigen. Des Weiteren werden das Konzept des Segens im Alten Testament und die Semantik der Nifal- und Hitpael-Stämme des Verbs barak eingehend untersucht.
This monograph investigates Genesis 12:3 in its context in the final form of Genesis. The author argues that the verse is, first, a promise of security and greatness to Abraham and Israel. However, its position following Genesis 1-11 also indicates a divine plan to extend blessing to all the peoples of the earth. Supporting this understanding of the verse, the author examines the close parallels that Genesis and Numbers 24:9 have to Genesis 12:3. He also presents a detailed consideration of the concept of blessing in the Old Testament and of the niphal and hithpael stems of the verb barak. Ph.D. dissertation under the supervision of Dr R. W. L. Moberly, Durham, UK.
