Excerpt from The Documents of the Hexateuch, Vol. 2: Translated and Arranged in Chronological Order With Introduction and Notes The long delay in the issue of this second and concluding volume scarcely admits of any apology, though I may plead in partial excuse increase of work different in kind and a multitude of distractions. The delay has not been without compensation, for it has enabled me to take advantage of much excellent literature which has appeared on the Hexateuch in particular, and on the O. T. And Semitic literature in general, during the last five or six years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
