Through the intersection of discourse analysis and plot analysis a proposed microplot for Genesis is developed from the formal structure of the narrative. The macrostructure of Genesis is determined to consist of eleven sections marked by transitional toledot headings. These headings are further stratified by their conjunctive or asyndetic form resulting in an outline for Genesis which includes five main sections and six sub-sections.From this structural starting point, a clause-by-clause discourse analysis ensues demarking these main sections and sub-sections according to their episodes. Each episode is then examined in order to reveal its specific contextual plot contribution. This analysis reveals that each main toledot traces a lineage of promise introduced in Genesis 3 throughout the incumbent narrative by repetition of the plot elements 1) threat to the promised line, 2) hope of God's means of resolution, 3) promise extended to the subject of the next main toledot, and 4) God's reassurance of promise.Through synthesis of each episode's plot contribution into the macroplot of Genesis it is concluded that Genesis records the story of God's relationship with mankind to whom He delegates the blessing-commission. This commission consists of the responsibility of reflecting God's image through their relationships to each other, to the earth, and to the animal kingdom. Despite the disobedience of mankind to this commission, God extends a promise of completion through the progeny of mankind. This line of progeny is traced through the narrative including various threats and tensions. Rather than reject mankind's role as delegated representative, God responds to the threats and tensions with promise and reassurance. As the line of promise is narrowed through each main toledot section, the promise itself is expanded to include the promises of a multitude of descendants, a land, and the role of blessing to other nations. Each representative of the promised line experiences these blessings to some degree contributing to hope for fulfillment, yet their fulfillment is not reached within the narrative. The narrative therefore ends with anticipation for the fulfillment of the promises of God to the line of promise.
