vii. Date and Autiior.siiip. — The date to which tlie composition of Dt should he assigned cannot he determined witli any degree of cer- tainty. But it is clear, from what has hecn already said, that it cannot reosonahly he attri- huted to any very early period in the history of Heb. literature.

a. The testimony of the style and languaj^e connects it with the period jireccdiiit; the age in which the imitators of the Deut. style wrote and flourished. Certainly, the rich and mient oratori- cal periods of Dt belong to a period of ^i^)e literary development, and not to the rough beginnings of A national literature.

It has been asserted that this is contradicted by the presence of certain archaisms. But, even ii there were a few archaisms, their presence would not atl'cct the general impression produced by the character of the Deut. style. The alleged 'archa- iairs,' however, are not of a kind to furnish any proof of the antiquity of the book.

(a) Kin. The 'epicene' use of tlie j>ronoun throws more light u|>on tlie history of the text than u[)on the antiquity of the hook.

'I'lie vowels in «in and h'.t were in all probability absent from the original autographs.

The fern, form hi seems to have existed in the earliest periods of the language.

(6) Sxn for r\';iin. This form occurs 8 times in the Pent., 4 times in Dt 4^ 7-'' 9", once in 1 Ch 20" Sn. As the usual ' dissyllabic ' form occurs in the I'ent. some '260 times, and in the cognate dialects the dissyllabic form was usual, the monosj'llable is almost certainly an ortlio''r;iphical anomaly, and sliould have a second vowel, "tn, hxn ; cf. nx.

(c) loi (le'" 20"'), as in Ex 23" Si^] instead of "V!, which ia used over 50 times in the Pent. The use of T31 for iji goes back to the old law of Ex 23".

(rf) im.; (32<» 34'''), as elsewhere in Pent. In Jos it is spelt 'inn; 28 times, and we have 'im- in 2 S 10», Jer 39» 52". The suggestion has been oflered that ' Israel picked up a new pronunciation after they came to tiie place,' in other words, that until the death of Moses the Israelites called the place 'Yuvcclio' incorrectly, and that this was embodied in the Pent., but that the local uro- nuncialion was given by Joshua. It might have been siiiiposed that the writer of the account of the death of Moses (Dt 34'-*) would have had as good ojiportunities for ' picking up a new pro- nunciation ' as the writer of Jos 2'. But the pro- nunciation followed in the Pent, is found also in K, Ezr-Neh, and Ch ; so that no argiuuent can be based upon the variety of the spelling.
