Hvem skrev bogen af joshua i bibelen?
Book of Joshua
Næsten alle forskere er enige om, at Joshuas Bog har ringe historisk værdi for det tidlige Israel og sandsynligvis afspejler en meget senere periode.152 Selv om rabbinernes tradition siger, at Joshua skrev bogen, er det sandsynligt, at den blev skrevet af flere forfattere og redaktører langt fra den tid, den skildrer.:9-10 De tidligste dele af bogen er muligvis kapitel 2-11, fortællingen om erobringen; disse kapitler blev senere indarbejdet i en tidlig form af Joshua skrevet sent i kong Josias' regeringstid (regerede 640-609 fvt.), men bogen blev ikke færdiggjort før efter Jerusalems fald til det nybabyloniske rige i 586 fvt. og muligvis først efter hjemkomsten fra det babyloniske eksil i 539 fvt. :10-11
Almost all scholars agree that the Book of Joshua holds little historical value for early Israel and most likely reflects a much later period.:152 Although Rabbinic tradition holds that the book was written by Joshua, it is probable that it was written by multiple authors and editors far removed from the times it depicts.:9-10 The earliest parts of the book are possibly chapters 2–11, the story of the conquest; these chapters were later incorporated into an early form of Joshua written late in the reign of king Josiah (reigned 640–609 BCE), but the book was not completed until after the fall of Jerusalem to the Neo-Babylonian Empire in 586 BCE, and possibly not until after the return from the Babylonian exile in 539 BCE.:10–11
