The Documentary Hypothesis In Detail - Exodus

Here is a table showing all the verses in Exodus and which source they are from. (The Genesis table is here; the rest is coming.) Again, 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). I have also marked the verses with an asterisk where they differ, and finally included some explanatory notes by Friedman and Driver.

Like Genesis, the versions differ primarily in the classification of E and J. Friedman argues that the "bias" in favor of J over E might be justified in Genesis, but is not necessarily justified in Exodus. Accordingly, he classifies many more Exodus verses as E than Driver does, and in doing so seems to reduce the number of multiple-verse stories.

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.
