The myths of Genesis are the foundation for hundreds of texts
written at later diachronically distinct and datable periods. Seven
texts-Genesis itself, Genesis Rabbah, Pirke deRabbi Eliezer and
mediaeval compilations-are examined here, with five interrelated
questions in focus: Can structuralist theory be applied usefully to
societies conscious of history and change? What is the relationship
between continuity and trasformation as a mythological tradition
develops diachronically? What role does diachronic development
within a myth play in relation to its underlying structure? What is
the synchronic structure of Israelite (or rather, biblical) myth?
Are there identifiable patterns of transformation and continuity
between biblical myth and the three diachronically distinct levels
of rabbinic myth?>
