while he was asleep, Laura? how does this stuff work; e.g., what's the relationship betw sleeping and dreaming and/or 'visions'; e.g., even you and the seer jt 'see' during your dreams don't you(?)--in a way, although perhaps it's ovrlapping with Freudian modernity or something, isn't that vision (a) vision(?)...of what is anthr question(?)...food for thought...
 
also, keep in mind that th 'evidnce' slade presentd in an earlier post suggstg that Abe's a prophet does not occur in Gen 15, occus later acc to Moses, so we're talking about a normal Gentile recvg a revelatory vision from God there, perhaps even while sleep walking w/ God (the upshot of slades notion, too:), aren't we?
 
also, Lance, a 'word' for you now--now a discourse for me:) ; was Moses using his imagination when (the Bible assumes) he wrote (e.g.) the 'revelation/s' in Gen 15...regardless, was he using it when he wrote Ps 90?
 
FTR, some scholars (e.g., Dr. Robt Hubbard, one of the leadg/formost OT scholars around, my OT prof here in Denvr w/ whom numerous hours of human co-cojitation have been virtually absorbd) say  that ~35% of the Bible is poetry, and it seems that poetry could be the most imaginative methd imaginable of recordg (complex) biblical revelation...but, couldn't one surmise (extrapolate from that possibility) that God himself has an imagination(?); else, e.g., biblical/prophetic poetry such as the profound Mosaic theological art form in Ps 90 is not revelation?
