Thanks, EE, for visiting the pages. I am thinking of scaling back the advance of Isaac's side of Abram's family (I'm even tempted to try a world without Isaac and Jacob, but that would mean completely rewriting a major portion of Mid-eastern history!). What would have happened, for instance, if Joseph had NOT gone down to Egypt? Would Egypt had suffered a regime change earlier due to the famine? Would Jacob's family go their own way? How would the tribe of Judah rise to power on the west bank of the Jordan? So many possibilities!!
