Erwägungen zur Entstehungsgeschichte von Gen 37

The widespread use of duplicates as a narrative technique in Gen 37 does not exclusively represent a principle of composition which must be interpreted in a stylistic way. At the same time it can point to stages in the formation of the text. This impression is strengthened by a discussion of further phenomena, which allows insights into the literary layers of Gen 37. In that way a model of composition based on the history of editorial processes (Redaktionsgeschichte) is presented as an appropriate and plausible solution.
