Talk:Elohist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

E is theorized to have been composed by collecting together the various stories and traditions concerning biblical Israel and its associated tribes (Dan, Napthali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulon, Ephraim, Manesseh, Benjamin),

Wasn't Benjamin (by happenstance, admittedly) a tribe of Judah? john k 23:11, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

The territory of Benjamin was divided between both kingdoms. Culturally, however, Benjamin seems to have been more akin to the north, as Saul and his son Ishbaal, although from the tribe of Benjamin, are seen as "northern" monarchs.--Rob117 01:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elohim

Glad to see that you don't reference the "Elohim" article, which does not reference any historical or cultural traditions outside of the OT. -- LKS 5/29/06

[edit] documentary hypothesis

"This article describes the opinion of the documentary hypothesis without taking into account alternative opinions; see the documentary hypothesis article for details on disputes over this theory." Someone recently added an alternative opinion, so now the article contradicts itself. Leadwind 23:04, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore, there is no analogous statement at the Jahwist page. Delmlsfan 15:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
