Document Details : Title: Le Pentateuque a-t-il été compilé et édité en hâte? Author(s): HIMBAZA, Innocent Journal: Semitica Volume: 60 Date: 2018 Pages: 159-181 DOI: 10.2143/SE.60.0.3285035 Abstract : Textual and literary divergences of the Pentateuch are mainly explained by different sources available to the editors. The Pentateuch looks like a compromise document, reflecting a wide literary legacy of Israel. Nevertheless, its text is not always harmonized. It seems that when oral and written sources were brought together to constitute the Torah, editors did not have enough time to check all the differences as well as the mistakes they could have corrected. The Persian context may then explain the hasty promulgation of the first edition of the Pentateuch. |
