Throughout the book, Smith provides a detailed analysis of the historical and literary context of the Pentateuch, as well as its theological and ethical implications. He explores the various sources that make up the Pentateuch, including the Yahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, and Priestly sources, and discusses the ways in which these sources were edited and combined over time.Smith also examines the themes and motifs that run throughout the Pentateuch, such as the covenant between God and the Israelites, the role of the priesthood, and the concept of sacrifice. He discusses the significance of these themes within the context of ancient Israelite society and culture, and highlights their relevance for contemporary readers.Overall, Professor Robertson Smith On The Pentateuch is a comprehensive and insightful study of one of the most important texts in the Hebrew Bible. It offers readers a deeper understanding of the historical, literary, and theological dimensions of the Pentateuch, and demonstrates the ongoing significance of this ancient text for modern readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
