The Hebrew Bible is a product of ancient editing, but to what
degree can this editing be uncovered? "Uncovering Ancient Editing"
argues that divergent textual witnesses of the same text, so-called
documented evidence, should be the starting point for such an
endeavor. The book presents a fresh analysis of Josh 24 and related
texts as a test case for refining our knowledge of how scribes
edited texts. Josh 24 is envisioned as a gradually growing Persian
period text, whose editorial history can be reconstructed with the
help of documented evidence preserved in the MT, LXX, and other
ancient sources. This study has major implications for both the
study of the book of Joshua and text-historical methodology in
general.
