Dear Walter,
The Beer-sheba Covenant Narrative featuring Abraham (Gen. 21;22-34) is
in my opinion a secondary narrative based on the earlier Beer-sheba
Covenant Narrative featuring Isaac (gen, 26:26-32) Likewise, the
wife-sister narrative featuring Abraham and Abimelech, is a later
version of the Isaac version.
On this, see the scholarship, and, more specifically, on the Covenant of
Beer-sheba, see my study in ZAW 1989.
Yours,
