| Summary: | Since Wellhausen the account of building the Tabernacle has been viewed as the result of a gradual expansion of an original story found in Exodus 25-29 + 39:42-43 + Leviticus 9. The present paper analyzes the structure of the extant Tabernacle account and compares it with other accounts of building temples found in the Bible (1 Kgs 5:15-9:25) and Mesopotamian and Ugaritic sources. The Tabernacle story in its canonical form is shown to be identical in pattern to these other accounts (especially to the Samsuiluna B inscription; Exod 25:1-9 + 35:1-36:8 has a close parallel in Gordon, UT51 V 74-VI 21). |
