Seth Sanders deposited The Non-Priestly Version of Genesis: A Basic English Text on Humanities Commons 3 years, 5 months ago
For almost 200 years scholars have recognized that most of the Pentateuch can be clearly divided into two separate, but interwoven literary works.. These are the Priestly and non-Priestly traditions, with the Priestly forming a clear and continuous whole and the Non-Priestly the main area of debate. Despite this, there has been no way to simply read these foundational and widely-discussed texts; they have to be deciphered from parallel or interlinear reconstructions. As part of the Pentateuch.digital project, we have created the first open-access version of these texts. The Priestly text is available at the pentateuch.digital website, and we here make available the first of our edition of the Non-Priestly traditions, the Book of Genesis, based on the JPS translation.
