Genesis: A Devotional Study
by Max Frazier, Jr.
The second division of Genesis consists of chapters 12-50. It concerns a group of people known as the Patriarchs. They include: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph. This portion of Genesis is really the initial history of the children of Israel. The theme is "patriarchs" with the key verse being Genesis 15:6 - "Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness."
