Description

Berossus and Genesis, Manetho and Exodus: Hellenistic Histories and the Date of the Pentateuch proposes a provocative new theory regarding the composition of the Pentateuch. Gmirkin argues that the Hebrew Pentateuch was composed in its entirety around 273-272 BCE by Jewish scholars in Alexandria. This work suggests these scholars were the same individuals later credited with the Septuagint translation. The author provides evidence based on the literary dependence of Genesis 1-11 on Berossus' Babyloniaca (278 BCE) and the Exodus story on Manetho's Aegyptiaca (c. 285-280 BCE). Additionally, the book examines geo-political data found within the Table of Nations to support this dating. Part of The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies, this academic text offers a fresh perspective on biblical history and Hellenistic influence.
