between key texts: from what God says at the creation of the man and woman in Gen 1:28, to what he says about the seed of the woman in Gen 3:15, to what God promised to Abraham in Gen 12:1–3, to the blessing of Judah in Gen 49:8–12, and then to the promises to David in 2 Sam 7. This gathering set of promises also shapes the way that Moses and other biblical authors prior to David (Joshua and possibly the authors of Judges and early narratives of Samuel) interpreted significant patterns of events.
