Hexateuch
The Hexateuch ("six scrolls") is the first six books of the Hebrew Bible〔Harris, Stephen L., Understanding the Bible. Palo Alto: Mayfield. 1985.〕 (the Torah or ''Pentateuch'') and the book of Joshua.
==Overview==
The term ''Hexateuch'' came into scholarly use from the 1870s onwards mainly as the result of work carried out by Abraham Kuenen and Julius Wellhausen. Following the work of Eichhorn, de Wette, Graf, Kuenen, Noldeke, Colenso and others, in his ''Prolegomena zur Geschichte Israels'' Wellhausen proposed that Joshua represented part of the northern Yahwist source (''c'' 950 BC), detached from JE document by the Deuteronomist (''c'' 650-621) and incorporated into the Deuteronomic history, with the books of Judges, Kings, and Samuel.
Reasons for this unity, in addition to the presumed presence of the other documentary traditions, are taken from comparisons of the thematic concerns that underlie the narrative surface of the texts. For instance, the ''Book of Joshua'' stresses the continuity of leadership from Moses to Joshua. Furthermore the theme of ''Joshua'', the fulfillment of God's promise to lead the Israelites to the Promised Land, complements the thematic material of the Pentateuch, which had ended with the Israelites on the border of the Promised Land ready to enter.
The thesis that ''Joshua'' completes the ''Torah'' in a ''Hexateuch'' may be contrasted with the view of scholars following the older rabbinic tradition, as expressed by the compilers of the Jewish Encyclopedia (compiled between 1901 and 1906), that the ''Pentateuch'' is a complete work in itself. The thesis may also be contrasted with the view put forward by Eduard Meyer (1855–1930) that there never was any ''Hexateuch'' per se, but that the ''Law'', ''Joshua'', ''Judges'', ''Samuel'', and ''Kings'' once formed one great historic work.〔
