Statements like this (pictured) don't persuade me of the soundness of your #DocumentaryHypothesis theory. The immediately preceding verse says Jacob lived in Egypt for 17 years, and the author gives no argument why that verse belongs to a different source, merely assertion.

Okay, here's a silly argument (p.69-70 of Baden's Composition of the Pentateuch):
Sarah "says explicitly that she is barren-'Yahweh has kept me from bearing' (16:1)-a concept unique to J" and justified in note 114 (pic).What do we call inability to conceive?
Baden isn't referring to Sarah ascribing her barrenness to YHWH in 16:1 as J's uniqueness, since the note asserts that E and P do not mention Sarah's barrenness as the reason for lacking kids.

I realized that one model for the #DocumentaryHypothesis is Tatian's treatment of the four gospels in his #Diatessaron . But if we only had the Diatessaron, would we be able to reconstruct four gospels, using Hebrew Bible scholar methods? The answer is no, in part because gospels share material.
I'm struck by how many times Baden asserts that this or that detail is "only in J." If the source documents agreed verbatim, why would a compiler duplicate them?

I would love to know how De Wette's thesis of 1805 (that #Deuteronomy was composed for the Josianic reforms in the 7th C BCE) went from being a possibility to being academic orthodoxy.

I'm entertained by a scholar arguing for the #DocumentaryHypothesis objecting to the Supplementary Hypothesis because it implies that the redactors are incompetent. If the redactors were competent, there would be no evidence to support the Documentary Hypothesis...

Actually it turns out that he vs. heth is the most common letter confusion in #Samaritan #Genesis. That surprises me, but I've found twenty such confusions among proper names. I suspect the lack of pronunciation difference helps.

I wonder if especially the yods are in the right place, or have moved, & if they represent vowels different from the #MasoreticText.
The final letter being he or heth is also a very easy confusion in Hebrew square script, but much harder in Samaritan or Paleo-Hebrew. I don't have an idea what that difference might indicate.

I'm perhaps a little obsessed with foreign names in the #HebrewBible, and this morning I was looking at Joseph's Egyptian name in #Genesis 41:45: צָֽפְנַ֣ת פַּעְנֵחַ֒ (Zofnath-pa'neah). In #Samaritan Pentateuch the second word is often פענה and the first is צפנתי or צפינתי. (Images: Cambr. Add. 1846 f. 41b)
Adding or subtracting a yod is very easy in Hebrew square script (modern script), but as the images show, the yod is a big letter in Samaritan (and Paleo-Hebrew).

Reading Joel Baden's Composition of the Pentateuch (2012), I am less than persuaded. I am not a reactionary who would reject any source criticism a priori. I appreciate his emphasis that a documentary hypothesis is only accepted if it most plausibly explains the text's shape.
I was initially put off by unqualified assertions about what's in (& more importantly NOT in) various sources (23-24), without acknowledging that these are stipulations from interpretation, not facts,

Is it a bad sign when Baden's very first example of a contradiction that requires a document source difference (the name of Moses's father-in-law) I think is more probably resolved by challenging a few Masoretic dots? I'm not opposed to a documentary hypothesis! But the text is ancient, so first establish the text with #TextualCriticism.

But that isn't always the case in #BiblicalHebrew.
I found an example in Gen. 14, the battle of our kings against five.
Gen. 14:10-11:
וְהַנִּשְׁאָרִ֖ים הֶ֥רָה נָּֽסוּ׃ וַ֠יִּקְחוּ אֶת־כָּל־רְכֻ֨שׁ סְדֹ֧ם וַעֲמֹרָ֛ה וְאֶת־כָּל־אָכְלָ֖ם וַיֵּלֵֽכוּ׃
"And the rest fled to the mountain, and they took all the livestock of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food and they left."On Baden's reasoning re 37:28, it must be the refugees who took the livestock and food!

I'm trying to figure out why scholars rejecting Mosaic authorship adopted the (Graf-Wellhausen) Documentary Hypothesis. Part of the answer is Astruc's earlier work on Moses's sources. But I've found only a terse reference to a "Supplementary hypothesis" & "Fragmentary hypothesis" as alternatives.
Can anyone recommend discussions of the (19th-C) Supplementary &/or Fragmentary hypotheses of Pentateuchal composition & why they were ultimately spurned by critical scholars?
