Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Journal of Biblical Literature, Vol. 33
Applying the method Of vocabulary analysis previously used in these Studies, and remembering that E constitutes 29 of the whole Psalter, we find that 64 of the common words show a marked preference for E, that is, have an abnormal proportion there of all their occurrences (36 or more). Additional test lists might be used, such as one of about 75 moderately rare words, or a much larger one of very rare words. On the whole, however, these latter do little more than reinforce the conclusions derived from the common words.
The common words that show a preference for E (having more than 35 Of their total occurrences there) are as follows.
