Abstract:
This study explicates the function of the Abraham narrative in its current position ahead of Jacob in Genesis by means of a comparison with the Period of the Three Kingdoms in ancient Korean history. After establishing the similarity between the two settings, I demonstrate how ancient Korean monarchic history sheds light on the specific function of the Abraham narrative in providing a narrative space in which Judeans found and expressed their new identity after the fall of northern Israel.
