Jeffrey Stackert, "Compositional Strata in the Priestly
Sabbath: Exodus 31:12-17 and 35:1-3"
Abstract:
This article challenges the conclusions of recent studies
that have attributed the entirety of Exodus 31:12–17 and
35:1–3 either to a Holiness (H) author or another
post-Priestly author. It offers a new redactional analysis
of these Sabbath texts, arguing that each contains an
earlier Priestly (P) stratum that was subsequently expanded
by H. It identifies a P stratum by giving close attention to
the narrative features in these pericopes and their
participation in the larger historical claims of P.
Attention to such narrative qualities is then usefully
combined with stylistic and theological elements to identify
the secondary stratum in these units as an H composition.
