Patriarchal religion was distinct from both ancient Near Eastern
and Israelite religions, and compatible only with the patriarchal
lifestyle portrayed in Genesis. Since Wellhausen, the study of
patriarchal religion has been chiefly confined either to the divine
names or to the social and legal practices attested in Genesis and
has neglected the patriarchal cultic practices-altars, pillars,
tithes, vows and purifications-frequently attested there. In this
study, Pagolu investigates such aspects in the light of
second-millennium ancient Near Eastern and Israelite parallels,
concluding that the patriarchal practices bore no comparison to
those of the ancient Near East or of Israel, in that the patriarchs
themselves offered sacrifices, conducted prayer, raised pillars and
offered worship, all without the aid of an established cult. Thus
patriarchal religion was distinct both from ancient Near Eastern
religions and from the religion of Israel itself. It is peculiar to
the world of Genesis.
