Hi,
Due to recent discussions I've been rereading a lot of the texts in
Genesis. One phrase that leapt out at me was CGN YHWH, C)RZ MZRIM at
Genesis 13:10.
Now the way this seems to read to me, at first sight, is as a
parallel. i.e. like the garden of YHWH and the land of Egypt are
parallel in:
a) being the same place of the same natural beauty as the Jordan
b) just the sense of natural beauty
How do other people read this?
