摘要
The present study explores prophetic influence on the present text of Genesis. It argues that the account of the birth of Jacob (Gen. 25:19-26) is modeled largely on the account of Jeremiah's call (Jer. 1:1-10). Both accounts follow a pattern of background, conception, and fateful hand. A detailed analysis of two passages (Jer. 1:1-10 and Gen. 25: 9-26) indicates a possibility that the writing of Genesis is partly dependent on Jeremiah. No matter how great the difference between the two texts seems, Genesis shows acquaintance with Jeremiah's prophetic message.
