| Summary: | The question of Land is a major South African concern. Given the studies of Eliade who pointed out that the Land is much more than just a geographical place, but a geographical centre, Land is perceived as an essential factor of human orientation.

The paper also discusses the literary and thematic design of Gen 13-14 which constitute a variety of episodes that are designed as a whole to present a specific subject-matter. |
