	Jahwist - Japan
		The Jahwist thus contains a tale of Isaac meeting his wife, when she comes out at the provision of water, and repeats the tale of Abimelech confusing a wife for a sister with Isaac and his wife rather than Abram and his.
		The Jahwist also provides some tales describing the political situation of the southern tribes, the most relevant of which is the tale of the rape of Dinah, a story which both explains the ownership of Schechem, and why the tribes of Simeon and Levi lack territory.
		The Jahwist also humiliates the northern hero of Joseph as the; victim of attempted rape by Potiphar's wife, rather than the interpreter of dreams that the Elohist presents, and also casts Moses as a murderer in his youth.

		The Jahwist also seeks to explain why despite being the firstborn, Reuben has little territory, though the story, involving Reuben and Bilhah in incest, is widely regarded by academics as having been abruptly truncated during redaction, only one line of it remaining in the torah.

	Adam and Eve - Crystalinks
		The modern version of the hypothesis is that the chapters of Genesis which contain the Adam and Eve story are drawn from two originally separate texts or groups of texts, the Priestly source (sometimes also called the Ellohyst source) and the Jahwist source.
		The Priestly source is responsible for chapter 1 and the first four verses of chapter 2, while the Jahwist provides the bulk of chapters 2 to 4.
		The Jahwist, or "J" source, is believed to have been composed in the kingdom of Judah before the fall of Israel (i.e., before 722 BC), but not before the late 8th century.

		In the Jahwist we do not indeed find at this place any statement concerning this sacred structure, but we do find the statement that the Israelites, out of sorrow because of the bad news brought by Moses, discarded their ornaments.
		For Exodus 33:4 is taken from the Jahwist, since the Elohist contains the command to discard the ornaments later on, and hence could not have written 33:4.
		Finally we must again remember that it is probable that Elohist and Jahwist, who speak both of the ark and also of the tables of the law, in the portions of these documents which have not been preserved, reported also that the tables were placed in the ark.

	Jahwist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jahwist's story begins much earlier than the Elohist's, in fact, it begins at the beginning.
		It also includes general creation stories, such as that of creation itself, the flood, and the badly truncated, and thus difficult to interpret, story of the Nephilim.
		J is thought to have been composed by collecting together the various stories and traditions concerning Judah and its associated tribes (Levi, Judah, Simeon, and Reuben), and weaving them into a single text.

		However, the Jahwist does not mention this tale, although the Jahwist mentions Isaac extensively, and thus when the redactor combined their writings, Isaac's continued presence would need to be explained.
		And secondly, whereas in the Jahwist version of the Plagues of Egypt involves Moses only acting as an intercessor to ask God to stop each plague that God has wrought, the Elohist instead presents Moses as threatening the Pharaoh, and then bringing the plague down on the Egyptians himself.
		To the Elohist, the threat of the passover is enough to cause the Egyptians to chase the Israelites out, whereas the Jahwist presents the Egyptians as reluctantly giving in, and then changing their mind, and chasing after them to bring them back.

	Exodus
		Also like the remainder of the torah, a large majority (90%) of modern scholarship disagrees, and instead supports the Documentary hypothesis, which asserts that there were several, post-Moses, authors, whose stories have been intertwined by a later redactor.
		In addition, the poetic Song of the sea, and the prose Covenant Code, are thought to have been originally independant works which the associated author, of these three, chose to embed in their works.
		Of these, in the hypothesis, the Elohist is identified as uniquely responsible for the episode of the golden calf, and the priestly source as uniquely responsible for the chiastic, and monotonous, instructions for creating the tabernacle, vestments, and ritual objects, and the account of their creation.

	Wellhausen Goes to Yale
		For the 17th-century Roman Catholic Richard Simon, the Jahwist was simply proof of the Bible's inner inconsistency; because he existed along with other "authors," disagreeing and diverging superintending hand of church tradition was vindicated.
		For Spinoza and emerging critical Protestants, the Jahwist was one of several successive phases of better—or worse—history writing to be detected below the surface of the biblical narrative.
		In this critical view, J's contribution was vastly overshadowed by the Priestly writer (called the Elohist because of his preference for the generic term for God, "Elohim"), whose foundational document preceded the Jehovist's by centuries and provided the scaffolding on which the intriguing but minor contribution of J was hung.

		The term used, namely, cohar, means perhaps "round house" or "tower." It seems probable that among the Hebrews there were no special buildings erected as "jails" in the premonarchical period, and perhaps not before the post-exilic period, when the adoption of the civic institutions and customs of surrounding nations prevailed.
		Among the Hebrews, rooms in connection with the royal palace or the residence of prominent court officials would be used for the purpose.
		According to one narrative (Jahwist) in Genesis the prison in which Joseph was confined had a "keeper," while according to another narrative (the Elohist) the offending members of the royal household, namely, the royal butler and the royal baker, were placed "in ward" with the "captain of the guard" in charge, i.e.

		According to the documentary hypothesis, the passage derives from the Jahwist source,
		a writer whose work is full of puns, and like many of the other puns in the Jahwist text, the element of the story concerning the scattering of languages may just be a folk etymology for the name Babel, attached to a more historic story of a collapsing tower.
		Historical linguistics thoroughly rejects the idea of a single original language, certainly at least not before 10,000 BC, well before the existence of Babylon where the tale of Babel is set.

		The Elohist's story appears to begin after Abram has begun migration, with the wife vs. sister story that is also present in the Jahwist tale.
		In the Elohist work, Isaac does not ever appear again after this story, and the story appears to imply that Isaac was sacrificed.
		With regard to leaving Egypt, the Elohist presents a more elaborate tale than the Jahwist.

		Though it must be admitted that both were recorded during/after the period of kings, nevertheless the J and E sources are earlier, and incorporate earlier texts.
		We associate the Blessing of Jacob and the Song of the Sea with the Jahwist source, and the Covenant Code with the Elohist source; we give the Song of Moses, Blessing of Moses, and the Threats and Promises to the Deuteronomist source.
		The turn of phrase here is significant: the King James translation indicates that the Jahwist version of the ten commandments indicates that Yahweh is a "Jealous God" by saying that his name is "Jealous"; the same translation of the Deuteronomy source identifies the Deity Himself as jealous.

		I do not subscribe to the JPDS theory which among other things posits parts of Genesis to have been written by a Jahwist in the court of King Solomon some time in the 10th century BCE.
		How could the Jahwist in 960 BCE not know of the capital city ofAsshur, famous since the 14th century BCE (Asshur the city is never mentioned in the Bible, as pointed out by Grayson) ?
		Based on my research into the historical allusions behind Madai's Japhethic descent, Genesis as we have it today "in its final form" was composed in the 5th century BCE, in the Post-Exilic period (although it does contain Pre-Exilic relics, concepts and facts).

	Jehovist at AllExperts
		For the purported author of parts of the Hexateuch see Jahwist.
		The word Jehovist derives from the formation of the documentary hypothesis, where it describes a purported writer of one interwoven portion of the torah, known as the Jahwist, who preferentially used the Tetragrammaton for the name of God, rather than choosing El, or derivatives such as Elohim.
		It has been since extended to anyone who uses the word Jehovah as the name of God, whether in worship or in Biblical transmission (writing or translation), and then later was used openly in regard to worshippers of the Deity, for example Jehovah's Witnesses.
