An intriguing and subtle study of five Genesis dreams: Abimelech's
(20.1-18), Jacob's (28.10-22; 31.10-13), Laban's (31.24) and
Abraham's (15.1-21). Like many of their ancient Near Eastern
counterparts, all occur at times of uncertainty, concern status,
and emphasize divine involvement in human affairs. At a deeper
level, they also address doubts arising from God's promise of land,
descendants and a unique role for Israel among the nations. Their
particular treatment of relations between Israelites and
non-Israelites and of Israel's absence from the land points to the
Babylonian Exile as the background against which the patriarchal
dream texts achieved their present form. Revisions of the Night
shows how dreams combine the highly personal with the ardently
political in an inspired response to national crisis.>
