NAME:
WEEKLY STUDY QUESTIONS 5
Abrahamic Covenant
1. The first eleven chapters of Genesis possess a Universal and
Cosmic emphasis. (Davis, 155)
2. With the introduction of Abraham, Moses begins to Particularize redemptive
history. (Davis, 155)
3. How has archaeology verified the historicity of chapters 12–14 in Genesis?
a. Davis explains that the settlement patterns discovered by Glueck in
Transjordan indicate that the events of Genesis 13 occurred somewhere
between 2000 and 1900 B.C. Glueck discerned a drastic decrease in the density
of occupation between the nineteenth and thirteenth centuries B.C., and he
links this decrease with the destructive campaign mentioned in Genesis 14.10
Furthermore, the names of the four eastern kings mentioned in Genesis 14
appear to fit the approximate period 2100 to 1700 B.C. (Davis, 159)
4. What are the three possible locations for Ur?
a. Urfa, a city twenty miles northwest of Haran called Edessa by the Greeks.
b. Ura, a town northeast of Haran which was under the Hittites’ control.
c. Southern Mesopotamia at Tell al-Muqayyar (Arabic for “mound of
pitch”). (Davis, 164)
5. What did it mean for Abraham to leave his father’s house?
a. Abraham likely had a sizable inheritance waiting for him had he stayed in his
father’s house; the area where his father lived was rich with resources and
material opportunities. (Davis, 167)
6. What are the three main things God promises to Abraham?
a. A better inheritance
b. Abraham would dhave many children
c. Abraham’s name would be revered forever (Davis, 167-168)
7. How is the promise in jeopardy in Genesis 12–14?
a. Abraham lied to the Egyptian authorities about the identity of his wife, Sarah,
which put both their lives in jeopardy and, subsequently, the promise was in
jeopardy as well. (Davis, 177)
8. Who is Melchizadek? Be thorough.
a. When Abraham returned from his quest to save his nephew, he was met by the
kings of the Jordan Valley. One of them, Melchizedek, king of Salem and
“priest of the most high God,” brought Abraham bread and wine. Many people
believe that he was a theophany of the preincarnate Christ, as well as a historical
person.
9. Which view from question #8 do you hold to? Why?
a. The Bible clearly depicts Melchizedek as a historical person who resembled
Christ, therefore I believe that this is the best position to hold.
10. Why does Davis say that Genesis 15 is an “especially important” chapter?
