Preface to the Second Edition
In 1982 Baker Book House kindly published the first edition of my Handbook on the Pentateuch. Since then the book has been used as a text in Pentateuch classes both at the undergraduate and graduate levels and in educational institutions throughout North America and around the world. It has been translated into Russian and is being translated into Korean. Although the book has gone through some twenty printings and its wide use and usefulness are not waning, Baker and I both agreed that it was time to produce a new edition.
I have, as is standard with new editions, updated the bibliographies. More importantly, however, I have rewritten many sections, substantially adding to or revising what I wrote back in the early 1980s. What the reader will encounter is my own developed and developing thoughts on passages within the Pentateuch, informed and enriched greatly by interaction with scholarly colleagues in the Old Testament part of the biblical academy.
I express my appreciation to Brian Bolger and his colleagues at Baker Academic for their immense help in seeing this second edition through to publication.
Also, I thank Leigh C. Andersen of the Society of Biblical Literature for permission to reproduce the chart of Bernhard Anderson that appears on p. 72. Similarly, I thank Father Peter Brook, SJ, of the Biblical Institute Press, for permission to reprint a chart by Anson Rainey that first appeared in Biblica. In this second edition it appears on pp. 356–57.
Once again my wife, Shirley, has taken on an invaluable role. In addition to her assistance in helping to produce the new edition, she constantly helped me with her encouragement, wisdom, and insight.
Finally, all praise goes to our Lord for the privilege of studying and teaching his word in the classroom and in the church. May the thoughts of my mind and the words of my pen be acceptable in the sight of the One who is my Rock and my Redeemer.
Preface to the First Edition
Few sections of the Old Testament have been treated as thoroughly by scholars as has the Pentateuch. A glance at any bibliographical reference volume covering biblical research will reveal immediately the vast amount of material produced in any given year on this portion of Scripture. Perhap
