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 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 are the famous sources used in the formation of Genesis in the Old Testament?

The consensus of biblical scholars is that principal 'sources' for the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) were the anonymous sources now known as the Yahwist, or 'J' Source, the Elohist, or 'E' Source, the Deuteronomist, or 'D' Source, and the Priestly Source, or just 'P' Source.The earliest of these is believed to be the Yahwist, who lived in the southern kingdom of Judah around the ninth century BCE, although some recent scholars would date him much later. The latest of the four sources was the Priestly Source, who wrote during the Babylonian Exile.A number of Redactors expertly wove together their contributions to the Books of Genesis and Exodus so that even when a doublet exists, a modern reader is scarecely aware that two different traditions are being presented.

What does the D in the Documentary theory stands for?

The 'D Source' was, of course, anonymous but is called the 'Deuteronomist' because the Book of Deuteronomy was the source's principal contribution to the Pentateuch.


How are the image and depiction of God changed in Genesis and Exodus?

The principal sources responsible for the Books of Genesis and Exodus are now known as the Yahwist ('J Source'), Elohist ('E Source') and the Priestly Source ('P Source'). Each depicted God differently according to the culture he represented. For example, the Yahwist represented the traditions of the southern kingdom of Judah and depicted his God as anthropomorphic with human characteristics, a God who made promises and covenants with his chosen people. The Elohist represented the traditions of the northern kingdom of Israel and depicted his God as more transcendent, a God who required obedience and was feared by his people. People could never look at the Elohist's God, so he typically came in dreams or visions, but sometimes in the form of a cloud or a flame. These sources wrote during the very early years of the Hebrew peoples, during the eighth and ninth centuries BCE, while the Priestly Source came much later, during the Babylonian Exile, and represented the needs of the dominant priestly class. The Priestly Source depicted a remote and unmerciful God. The Priestly Source drew on the earlier works of J and E, changing details to suit the priestly point of view. The two books were so cleverly redacted by the 'Redactor' that it was possible to leave the traditions of each source intact, without most readers realising that the books contained inconsistencies and doublets.
