Endnote 2 – Abraham’s Eight Crises

Ephraim A. Speiser’s interpretation of the sistership documents of Nuzi and their relationship to Genesis is defended in his commentary, Genesis, The Anchor Bible Series (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1964), pp. 91–92. This view is now rejected by most scholars. See Cecil J. Mullo Weir, “The Alleged Hurrian Wife-Sister Motif in Genesis,” Transactions of the Glasgow University Oriental Society 22 (1967), pp. 14–25.
