	Hexateuch - Definition, explanation
		Hexateuch is a term used by historians and theologians to refer to the first six books of the Bible (the Torah or Pentateuch, and the book of Joshua).
		In the standard documentary hypothesis, the final edited composition of the books Joshua – Kings is presumed to be due to the Deuteronomic source tradition, normally dated to the reforms of Josiah.
		However, the practice of the Samaritans, whose entire Biblical canon consists of the Hexateuch could be seen as support for the Hexateuch theory.

	HEXATEUCH in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		It is admitted that there is no trace of any such work as the Hexateuch anywhere in tradition.
		There are grave differences of opinion among its supporters as to whether all the supposed Pentateuchal documents are present in Joshua, and in any case it is held that they are quite differently worked up, the redactors having proceeded on one system in the Pentateuch and on quite another in Joshua.
		Arguments are given in the article PENTATEUCH to show the presence of Mosaic and pre-Mosaic elements in the Pentateuch and the unsoundness of the documentary theory in that work, and if these be correct theory of a Hexateuch necessarily falls to the ground.

	ELOHIST (Jewish Encyclopedia) - BibleWiki
		The term is employed by the critical school to designate one (or two) of the component parts of the Hexateuch.
		His hypothesis was developed by Johannes Gottfried Eichhorn ("Einleitung in das Alte Testament," 1780-83), and again elaborated by Karl David Ilgen ("Die Urkunden des Jerusalemischen Tempelarchivs," 1798), who coined the term "Elohist," applying it to two sources in which the Deity was consistently designated by "Elohim," distinct from a third in which "Yhwh" was used.
		This theory was adopted by Hupfeld ("Die Quellen der Genesis," 1853), whose acceptance of "Elohist" as a recognized term was followed by almost all subsequent writers on the Hexateuch from the critical point of view, though the connotation of the term was not definitely fixed at first.

	Hexateuch
		Hexateuch is a term used by historians and theologians to refer to the first six books of the Bible (including the Torah or Pentateuch, and the book of Joshua).
		The theory of the Hexateuch is still advanced by some scholars, but the majority of scholars follow the hypothesis that the Pentateuch is a complete work in itself.
		However, the practice of the Samaritans, whose entire Biblical canon consists of the Hexateuch could be seen as support for the Hexateuch theory.

	Sacred Texts: Old English Hexateuch
		The artist evidently had a strong streak of originality: the content and style of several images, such as that depicting the fall of the rebel angels, are unlike anything known elsewhere in traditional sacred textual art.
		Modern stylistic analysis suggests that the Old English Hexateuch was the work of a team, probably of two translators, two scribes and one artist, though we don't know any details of the sequence in which they collaborated.
		It is not known who commissioned the work, but the dominance of the vivid illustrations may indicate that it was a lay person.

	Hexateuch - LoveToKnow 1911
		HEXATEUCH, the name given to the first six books of the Old Testament (the Pentateuch and Joshua), to mark the fact that these form one literary whole, describing the early traditional history of the Israelites from the creation of the world to the conquest of Palestine and the origin of their national institutions.
		These books are the result of an intricate literary process, on which see Bible (Old Testament: Canon), and the articles On the separate books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua).

	Hexateuch, Tetrateuch, and the Deuteronomic History
		Along with Pentateuch, the most common terms are Hexateuch ("six books"), Tetrateuch ("four books"), and Unateuch ("one book"), along with Deuteronomistic or Deuteronomic History.
		As a result, he talked about a Hexateuch to identify the unity between these six books.
		He concluded that Deuteronomy reflected a fusion between two independent traditions, the exodus-conquest traditions and the Sinai event.

	The Fallacies of the Higher Criticism
		It is concerning the analysis of the Pentateuch, or rather of the Hexateuch, the Book of Joshua being included in the survey.
		A large part of the Hexateuch consists of unhistorical legends.
		It was said that the Hexateuch must have been formed chiefly by the gathering up of oral traditions, because it is not to be supposed that the early Hebrews possessed the art of writing and of keeping records.

		In the historical books the tradition is developed by means of supplement and revision; double narratives occur here and there, but not great parallel pieces of connected matter side by side.
		In the Hexateuch additions and supplements have certainly taken place on the most extensive scale, but the significant feature is here that continuous narratives which can and must be understood each by itself are woven together in a double or threefold cord.
		Critics have shown a disposition, if not in principle yet in fact, to take the independence of these so-called sources of the Hexateuch as if it implied that in point of matter also each is a distinct and independent source.

		Following the Hexateuch is the book of Judges, consisting of narratives that vividly depict the social conditions prevailing in Palestine between the Conquest and the days of Samuel.
		The two books of Samuel (they were only one originally; the Septuagint divided them) take up the history of Israel where the Hexateuch leaves it, and carry forward the account nearly through the reign of David.
		They partake largely of the character of Judges, but are thought to have been composed somewhat earlier.

	Gerhard von Rad Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		During these years he gained competence in archaeology and wrote several important essays, the main one of which dealt with the priestly writing in the Hexateuch, the first six books of the Bible.
		Furthermore, the proposed origin of the Hexateuch assumed that the Bible arose out of the actual practice of worship.
		Therefore, he described several theologies, those of the main sources of the Hexateuch (the Yahwist, Elohist, Deuteronomist, and Priestly writer), as well as those represented by the prophetic traditions and wisdom literature (Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Sirach, and Wisdom of Solomon).
