HEXATEUCH. general opinion is that the Priests' Code grew up in Babylon. Eduanl Meyer repinls Ezra as its author. lUit the unity of this hi>ok has louf; iK-en questioned. Pupper (IHtiJ) showed that Kx. XXXV. .vl. and Lev. viii.x. are liy a dilTer- ent hand from that whieh wrote Ex. xxv.- xxxi. Klosterinann (1W77) indicated a .sepa- raU' authorship for the Holiness C'ude ( l^v. xvii.-xxvi.). Baentsch (1901) and Uerthelot (lUOl) agree in refjardinj; Ix-v. i.-vii. and Lev. xi.-xv. as indcpenilent minor eode.s. Graf (1S71) and Maybaum (ISSO) su^'<;esled that the priestly writer was only a supplementer of the earlier text. Klostermann (ISll.'i) eonsiilered this writer as the editor of the Penlateuch. Sehmiilt ( 1002) also thinks that the so-called Priestly Doeunient never existed as a. sep.irate code, hut consists of a colleetiiin of laws. Illustrative stories, annota- tions, and comments adcleil to the already exist- inp books bv the priesthood in .Jerusalem, chielly during the I'lrsian perioil. .s the Hook of .Joshua has been subjected to a thoroujih priestly redac- tion, while ilie books of .lud<res. Samuel, and Kinps have only been edited by men writ inf.' in the spirit of l)eut<rononiv. the questinn natiirally arises why •loshua should have fareil dKrerciitly from the rest of the "fornier proy)hets.' The answer aenerally fjiven is that the I'rieslly Docu- ment ended with the coiKiuest of Canaan, and that the Book of Joshua was cut «IX from the once existing Hexateueli. Hut Kdiiard Meyer is probably right in holdin-r that there never was any llexateuch. but that the Law, Joshua, Judpe.^, Sanuiel, and Kinps once formed one preat historic work. This seems to have been essen- tially a Deiiteronomistic work. The additions made in priestly circles afTected some facts more than others. .s the .section dcalinp with events up to the death of Moses came to be reparded as 'the Law.' the rest formed a class by them- selves. The division of the Law into five parts probably does not po back to the time when the Book of .Toshua formed a part of the preat work. The term Hoxateuch is therefore likely to disappear, while the observations that led to its use are seen to be accurate, and the theory framed to account for them is recognized ase.ssen- tially sound.
