I think that God uses evil for good.  Such in the case of Joseph, God used 
his brothers evil in order for a good to come about.  I think in this regard 
should we treat Isaiah 45:7.

God is in control of the good things and the bad things.  But uses both to 
accomplish is purpose and plan.

R.E.Friedman's "Who wrote the Bible?" identifies both E and P in 
Deuteronomy.

  P: Deut 34:7-9

  E: Deut 31:14-15, 31:23, 33:1, 34:1-6

Friedman's "Deuteronomic law code", Dtn, Deut 12:1-26:15, is attributed  
to "someone connected to the priests of Shiloh" (p. 122), suggesting a 
connection to E.  Dtn may be earlier than the D.
