Endnote 2 – Reading David in Genesis

This approach originates with the Israeli scholar Yehezkel Kaufmann (The Religion of Israel, trans. Moshe Greenberg [Chicago: Univ. of Chicago Press, 1960], pp. 175–200), and is favored today by, among others, Jacob Milgrom (Leviticus 1–16, Anchor Bible 3 [Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1991], pp. 3–35).
