The Documentary Hypothesis In Detail - Genesis

I have compiled the following table showing all the verses in Genesis and which source they are from. I have used two separate classifications: Richard E. Friedman's from The Bible With Sources Revealed (2003) and Samuel Driver's from Introduction to the Literature of the Old Testament (9th ed 1913) (Google Books version of Driver here.) I have also marked the verses with an asterisk where they differ, and finally included some explanatory notes by Friedman and Driver. These two versions are remarkably similar, especially given that they are separated by a very busy century.

These two versions differ in at least two notable respects.

1. Driver explained that it was fairly easy to tell the difference between P on the one hand and J, E, and JE on the other. However, distinguishing between J and E is much harder in places. Many of the differences between Friedman and Driver involve J and E classifications.

2. Friedman assigns several transitional versed to R (the redactor), but Driver assigns them to P, who was in fact doing some redacting. I think this difference stems largely from the difference in the dating of P. Driver and most early bible scholars assigned P to after the Babylonian exile, while Friedman and many (but not all) contemporary bible scholars assign P to before the exile. Thus, Friedman believes there was a much greater separation between P and R, whereas Driver believes they might have been the same person or at least contemporaries.

At this point, I am not making any sort of argument. I am simply laying out the theory to be tested. My plan is to make a similar chart for Exodus through Deuteronomy. After that, I will compile a list of the characteristics that the DH advocates claim can be found in each of the sources. Once I have completed that, I will have identified the theory to be tested. And then I'll test it.

Here's information about the table.

F - Friedman
D - Driver
Diff - Different. * if Friedman and Driver are difference, nothing if they are the same.

Sources:
J - J
E - E
RJE - Redactor of J and E
P - P
R - Redactor
O - Other

Here's the table.
