BT, The
ensuing speculatg abt v. 17 (Gen 15), refd below, may be correct--it could
be abt a unilatrl deal beyond litrl 'descendants'; howevr, the 'diaolog' in
Gen 15:18 may have nothing to do with it--v.18 may be anothr
'deal' involvg just Abe's litrl 'descendants', a deal which is
actually bi-latrl..
well, perhaps
someone (who ain't too 'smart') needs to argue for the unity of
vss. up to 17 and 18ff.:)
