FTR, Re: Gen 15, i think the writr appears to 'break' more naturally at the end of verse 6; vs. 7, at least  up to vs. 17, seems to be of a literary piece, perhaps inc 18ff., as below
 
this means an argumnt for the unity of meanng in 1-6 and 7- 17, inc/not inc 18f., isn't out of the question

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.:)

Thanks for giving me something to think about this evening  (after my wife goes to sleep).  This will sound rather rediculous, but I have never been taught a single lesson (in school or via a sermon) that had anything to do with Genesis 15.   Not one.  Kind of amazing.   Just shows you have far behind the times I am.  

Another plus for this forum.
