This study explores the literary phenomenon that, at crucial
crossroads, the line of promise of Israel is continued through the
younger brother instead of the firstborn son, which is so important
otherwise. This motif ofsubversion is limited to the book of
Genesis, where it is used not less than twelve times. The analysis
of forms, contexts and functions of this motif reveals a strictly
constructed narrative concept. This construction enables an
attribution of identity to Israel which justifies Israel s special
role among other peoples, legitimizes it and shapes its profile
theologically."
