Regarding the different styles, should we not expect an author to have a different style when he is writing history (Genesis), writing legal statutes (Exodus, Deuteronomy), and writing intricate details of the sacrificial system (Leviticus)? The JEDP theory takes the explainable differences in the Pentateuch and invents an elaborate theory that has no basis in reality or history.
Kuhusu mitindo tofauti, hatupaswi kutarajia mwandishi mmoja kuwa na mtondo mbalimbali wakati yeye anaandika historia (Mwanzo), kuandika amri za kisheria (Kutoka, Kumbukumbu), na kuandika maelezo na undani wa mifumo wa kafara (Mambo ya Walawi)? Nadharia JEDP inachukua tofauti sinazoweza elezeka katika vitabu vya sheria na kuunda nadharia fafanufu kwa msingi ya ukweli au historia.
