JCR: Thanks Peter. I realised I had made a booboo just
after posting. Shem would have been able to witness
the events and therefore Karl's theory of authorship
would hold water in this case.
However, let's take a look at Genesis 25 verses 12 and
19
In verse 12 we have the signature
ואלה תלדת ישמעאל
In verse 19 we have the signature
ואלה תולדת יצחק
After the signature in verse 12 we have a description
of Ishmael's descendents.
After the signature in verse 19 we have a description
of Isaac's descendents.
This is far too great a coincidence to ignore and would
seem to put Karl's theory of end signatures in serious
question.
