Hi Karl,

I think you will find that the _'elleh toledot_ statements are at the
beiginnings of their respective sections of Gen, not the ends.

It doesn't matter to me if you want to keep 2:4a together with 2:4b.
2:4b still grammatically depends on what follows, not what precedes.

IOW, the _'elleh toledot_ statement is more like a heading than an
integral part of the narrative. The story really begins with 2:4b, and
the plotline begins with 2:7.

Shalom,
Bryan

SM: Gen 10:32 & Exo 6:19 are at the ends of their sections.
