Description
This session offers an exegetical study on I Chron. 2 and 4, dealing with the genealogical line of Judah and David. This writer examines discrepancies well known to scholars between the line recorded in Ruth 4 (Gen. 46, Num. 26) and that of Chronicles. But as well, the anomalies in the chronicler’s own record are so unique and obvious, they seem to demand some kind of explanation. Scholars find these too intentional to charge to mere error or redaction. Yet I have found the hypotheses proposed in answer to them are centered on “alternative sources.” While the hypothesis proposed in this presentation may sound too outlandish to win general acceptance, Paulson hopes that the level of scholarship displayed here may inspire further research in this area.
