Hi,

according to Karl's theory of the TLDTH formula found in several  
places in Genesis it is a theory which indicates author and title (but  
the author doesn't always have to be there).

If we are to accept this theory then the author of Genesis 6:9b-10:1  
is Shem, Ham and Japheth.

So, I am interested to learn more about this theory. Am I to  
understand this as separate parts of the account being authored by one  
Shem, Ham or Japheth or am to understand this as all three jointly  
authored it in some way.
