Hexateuch
The Hexateuch (Ἑξάτευχος - composed of ancient Greek ἕξ héx 'six' and τεῦχος teũchos 'vessel' - i.e. ' six vessel') is understood to mean the first six books of the Old Testament in the Bible , i.e. the Pentateuch together with the book of Joshua .
The term is said to have been coined by Julius Wellhausen in 1876 , but can be found before that with Eberhard Schrader . The term was based on the Pentateuch (for the five books of Moses). In biblical exegesis, scientific research sees a literary connection between the Book of Genesis and Joshua. Jos 24 EU can be read as the fulfillment of an obligation found in Gen 50 EU .
