SUMMARY :This biggest and greatest sura of the Qur'an - Sura Baqara can be divided into two equal parts,the first one addresses the former Muslim Ummah - children of Israel and in the second part the address is totally to current Muslim Ummah.
First part consists of 18 sections and 152 Ayahs while the second part consists of 22 sections but number of Ayahs are 134.
The first half then can be divided into three parts, the first four sections are preliminary which contain summary of whole of Makki Qur'an, which was revealed before surah Baqara

2/3rd of Quran is Makki and its' summary is placed in beginning of surah Al Baqara.
Then 10 sections consist of direct address to Bani Israel/Children of Israel, of which the first section consisting of 7 Ayahs is an invitation to children of Israel to accept the last Prophet of God following which the 9 sections are charge sheaths to children of Israel
Then 4 next sections,they may be called "Tahweeli"(Transfer) because of the change of the direction of the Qibla which was the symbol of the change of Ummah that the former Muslim Ummah is being deposed from the position they were in for 2000 years, and the NEW Muslims Ummah is being installed in that position.
