[John Van Seters, University of North Carolina] How to account for a barren woman who gives her maidservant to her husband in order to bear children for her. Something of this kind seemed to show up in the Nuzi Tablets. And so this scholar said, "Aha, here we have something.
Here we have a way of linking Abraham with this particular period."
And this was very attractive,
but there were some problems.
The problems were that scholars were so concentrated on the documents of the 2nd millennium, that they forgot to look at the documents in the 1st millennium.
