The fellows who examine the Hebrew text seem to have a good bit of expertise.
It would be folly for any of us that cannot examine ancient Hebrew to say they
are wrong, other than to state it by faith instead of knowledge. I prefer knowledge
these days.
It would seem that much was written much later than expected. Even with what
remains, it is quite evident that the Hebrews were worshipping other gods besides
Yahweh long after the days of David and Solomon.
Experts feel that the book that was "discovered" during the dynasty in the temple
was Deuteronomy and it was not so much discovered as it was recently written.
I personally speculate that nobody EVER lived under the Mosiac law code strictly- EVER.
It was written as if it were received by Moses, and (my speculation- no letters, please)
Moses never existed and the Israelites were never slaves in Egypt. The people worshipped
in various ways up until the freedom of bondage to Babylon, and generally leaned toward
worship of Yahweh after that, but there were variations on that type of worship.
Even up until the time of the destruction of the temple around 70 C.E., the various forms
of worship centered around Yahweh persisted, but then their world ended when the temple
was destroyed. All of the various ways to worship included the temple. But two ways were
less dependent upon that temple and two dominate religious ways came out of - Rabbinical
Judaism and Christianity. Both ways pretended the worship that existed before the
destruction of the temple was more established and stable than it really was.
Along with WHO WROTE THE BIBLE, you should try THE HARLOT BY THE SIDE OF
THE ROAD. It helps you see what kind of strange stuff is left over in Genesis through
Kings.
