This study examines the significance of implied law in the Abraham
narrative. It analyzes legal and juridical terminology in the text
and provides a close reading of legal referents found in Genesis
18.16-20.18. B ruckner demonstrates that the literary and
theological context of implied law in the narrative is creational,
since the implied cosmology is based in Creator-created
relationships, and the juridical referents are narratively prior to
the Sinai covenant. The narrative's canonical position is an ipso
jure argument for the operation of law from the beginning of the
ancestral community. The study suggests trajectories for further
research in reading law within narrative texts, pentateuchal
studies, and Old Testament ethics.
