Where is the Priestly Story located in the Bible?
A:There is no specific 'Priestly Story' in the Bible, but scholars do refer to a Priestly Source. The Priestly Source lived during the Babylonian Exile and was one of the authors of the Pentateuch. The 'P' Source wrote part of Genesis, Numbers and Exodus, as well as most of Leviticus.
Did the Priestly Source contribute to Deuteronomy?
A:The only real contribution by the Priestly Source to the Book of Deuteronomy is chapter 34. The Priestly Source originally ended the Book of Numbers with an account of the death of Moses and succession of Joshua, but this was later transferred to the end of Deuteronomy.
What similarities are shared by the account of creation and the flood narratives?
AnswerThe biblical creation account and the biblical Flood story were both written by the same two authors: the Yahwist ('J' source) and the Priestly author ('P' source). However, in the creation account the Priestly story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) is kept quite separate from the earlier Yahwist story (Genesis 2:4b-2:25), but in the Flood story, they are interwoven, thus making it less apparent that there are really two stories there.
What is the Priestly Source in Genesis?
A:The five different sources believed to have written the first five books of the Bible were all anonymous, but have been given source names by modern scholars in order to facilitate discussion about those sources.The Priestly Source (also known simply as 'P Source') is believed to have lived during or shortly after the Babylonian Exile, although an earlier view was that he might have lived just prior to the Exile. Although the Priestly Source may be referred to as 'he', this does not rule out the possibility that the Source was a college or group of like-minded persons.Writings by the Priestly Source can easily be distinguished from those of the Yahwist ('J Source'), Elohist ('E Source') or Deuteronomist ('D Source') on stylistic and theological differences.P used a comparatively late form of the Hebrew language, had a low level of literary style and focussed on the formal relations between God and society. There is a sense here of justifying the development of a theocracy, as happened after the death of the last king of Judah. The Priestly Source drew on the earlier works of J and E, changing details to suit the priestly point of view and used the names Elohim and El Shaddai to describe a remote and unmerciful God.
What is the first chapter in Genesis about?
The first chapter in Genesis, continuing through to Genesis 2:4a, is the version of creation believed to have been written by the Priestly Source during the Babylonian Exile. It contrasts with the second creation story, beginning in genesis 2:4b and attributed to the anonymous source now known as the Yahwist.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What are some of gods attributes that we learn from the first story of creation?
Whereas in the second creation story (beginning at Genesis 2:4b), God's powers are somewhat limited and he can not make living creatures out of nothing, requiring dirt to create Adam and the beasts of the earth, the first creation story (Genesis 1:1-2:4a) portrays God as almost omnipotent, able simply to speak things into existence. This account is credited to the Priestly Source and is much later in Judaism than the second account. it is consistent with the Priestly Source's frequent use of the term El Shaddai ('God Almighty') to refer to his God.In the first creation account, God is remote and impersonal, again consistent with the Priestly Source's view of God. He makes man in his own image, blesses them and gives them instructions to multiply and have dominion over the earth, but does not show the close personal interest that we see in the second account.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
Why do biblical scholars consider the second creation account older than the first account?
The second creation account, in Genesis 2:4bff, is written in a somewhat more archaic form of Judaism and has a rather more primitive cosmology than is case with the first creation account (Genesis 1:1-2:4a). It is attributed to the Yahwist Source, who wrote early in the first millennium BCE. The Priestly Source, to whom the first creation account is attributed, wrote much later, during or shortly after the Babylonian Exile.The Yahwist account follows on relatively seamlessly through the subsequent chapters of Genesis, so by adding the later account prior to the earlier one, the Priestly Source avoided breaking into the existing sequence of stories.

Why is woman created with man in Genesis 1 but woman is created out of man in Genesis 2?
The reason for this difference is that there are two quite different creation stories in Genesis, written by two different authors. The first creation story is Genesis 1:1-24a (the first sentence of 2:4) and is believed to have been written by a source now known as the Priestly source. The second is in Genesis 2:4b-2:25 and is believed to have been written by a source now known as the Yahwist source. The creation of man and woman is, of course, not the only difference that scholars note between the two accounts.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
How did we get the first chapter of the Book of Genesis?
How did we know about the finest details of creation, if no one was there to witness it. The first chapter in Genesis and part of the second chapter (verses 1:1-2:4a, the first sentence in 2:4) form a completely different creation story from that in Genesis 2:4b-20. At first, the Book of Genesis did commence with the second sentence in verse 2:4, but an anonymous source now known as the priestly source added verses 1:1-2:4a during the Babylonian Exile. The Priestly source was inspired by a creation story found in Babylon during the Exile.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
What does the J Text of Genesis describe?
A:The Book of Genesis is now believed to have been written by three main sources, anonymous but known to scholars as the 'J Source' or Yahwist, the 'E Source' or Elohist, and the 'P Source' or Priestly Source. The J Source wrote from the point of view of the southern Hebrew kingdom of Judah in the very early part of the first millennium BCE. The J text includes the second creation story (which starts at Genesis 2:4a), the original version of Noah's Flood (there is also a version by the Priestly Source, but most readers are unaware of the existence of two somewhat different versions in the same book) and some material about the Patriarchs.
What sources are in each book of the Pentateuch?
The principal sources for Genesis were the Yahwist, the Elohist and the Priestly Source.The principal sources for Exodus were the Yahwist, the Elohist and the Priestly Source.The principal source for Leviticus was the Priestly Source.The principal source for Numbers was the Priestly Source, with some material by the Yahwist.The principal sources for Deuteronomy was the Deuteronomist, who was also responsible for the Deuteronomic History.The JE Redactor combined early material by the Yahwist and the Elohist and may have made minor changes to content. The final Redactor redacted the books into much the form we know today and made minor changes to content.
