nations
Whilst looking at the developments between the promises to Abraham in Genesis 12, 15 and 17, one of my fellow students noted how the promise to become a great 'nation' became great 'nations' in Genesis 17. It seems to me that this is anticipation of the end of Chapter 17 where there is also the promise to make a great nation from the line of Ishmael in Genesis 17:20.
