Document Details : Title: Some Observations on Exod 6,2-8 and the Priestly Periodization Author(s): HONG, Koog P. Journal: Biblica Volume: 103 Issue: 1 Date: 2022 Pages: 26-40 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.103.1.3290611 Abstract : This essay investigates the nature of P’s periodization by studying afresh Exod 6,2-8. While many overinterpret the text as if P intentionally designed the tripartite division in accordance with the notion of progressive revelation, the editorial function of Exod 6,2-8 is highlighted, together with its limited scope and the lack of a systematic design. The simpler explanation is that the tripartite division may be the product of P’s combination of discrete traditions, in which Exod 6,2-8 played a major role. |
