["Nir cohen - Prof. Mat." <nir AT ccet.ufrn.br>]

in relation to the misterious mention of serah's mention in genesis 
46:17, i found the following source fascinating:

            http://www.bibleandjewishstudies.net/articles/serah.htm

it appears that serah is mentioned three times in genesis and several times
in the jewish and samaritan tradition. besides jim's questions, this raises 
two additional aspects: 

(i) was serah mentioned in 46:17 in relation to the rabbinical 
tradition of her role in making two important revalations connected with
joseph? this raises the following issue: can we get a better idea 
of the biblical dating issue by including extra-biblical sources? 
i suppose this point was examined somewhere.

(ii) was serah mentioned because of inheritance issues, similar to those
mentioned in relation to CLOFXAD's daughters?
