"... In several instances, P mentions the accumulation of possessions by the patriarchs. The rather rare and general expression שׁוכר, “possession, good,” is used In some texts, however, all of which belong to the Jacob-Esau and Joseph sections, other specifying expressions occur in addition to שׁוכר ... (Genesis 12:5; 13:6; 31:18; 36:6-7; 46:6) ... The accumulation of property is expressed differently. In the two texts belonging to the Abraham section, Gen 12:5 and 13:6, the term שׁוכר refers in a general manner to possessions acquired by Abraham. No further specifying expression is used. In a second statement the acquisition of humans (slaves) is mentioned. The use of two different verbs shows that the author distinguishes between two different kind of acquisitions. In Genesis 31:18; 36:6; and 46:6 (belonging to the Jacob-Esau and Joseph narratives), however, the term שׁוכר never occurs alone but is always accompanied by the specifying term הנקמ, “livestock,” ןינק, “goods,” and (or) המהב, “cattle” The author intends to identify the acquired property with cattle. As Wöhrle shows, the expression הנקמ, “livestock as property” is often used in non-P texts of the ancestral narrative (above all in the Jacob-Esau section) in order to indicate possession of (numerous) cattle. This consistent difference between P’s Abraham narrative on the one hand and the sections concerning Jacob, Esau, and Joseph on the other hints at different authors in the respective sections ..."
