Below is a great YouTube discussion on Genesis with Cornelis Van Dam. I highly recommend his book, "In the Beginning: Listening to Genesis 1 and 2."
As an aside, Van Dam has also written, "The Urim and Thummim: A Means of Revelation in Ancient Israel." See this Amazon Link. I learned of it via Douglas Bookman's chapter (excerpt), "The Urim and Thummim: The Theocracy in Microcosm," in "to seek to do & to teach", essays in honor of Larry Pettegrew.
