Abstract

This article will survey the history of research on Genesis 37-50 during the last generation. Its main proposition is that we are not dealing with a Joseph, but with an Israel-Joseph story. The arguments, therefore, no longer focus on source criticism, but on the question of tradition history, viz. whether chs. 38 and 49 have to be included. If this is accepted, a date in the Persian period for the entire pre-Priestly text suggests itself.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
