    1. Any movement at all on this? I’m new to this and noticed something similar but included verses 17:22 and 18:1 as the ends (…God went up from Abraham and .,…the Lord appeared to him). Would the center still be the ages of those verses were included? I don’t know how to find the middle or even interpret it from there.
