The Documentary Hypothesis In Detail - Numbers

Here is a table showing all the verses in Numbers and which source they are from. 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.

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.
