The Asaph psalms (50, 73-83) are a unity. They often call God
'Elohim' and 'El', and the people 'Joseph', as Amos does; they
appeal to Israelite history, the exodus and the covenant; they are
written in the face of military catastrophe. In this suggestive and
brilliant work, Goulder argues that they were composed in Bethel in
the 720s for use as the psalmody for the autumn festival. This
gives us vital new evidence for the history of the Pentateuch:
there was at Bethel a historical tradition from at least the time
of the oppression in Egypt to the Solomonic Empire; the Asaphites
took this tradition to Jerusalem and their descendants were the
Deuteronomists.>
