The stone which Jacob consecrated at Bethel the generation of the living continues to anoint, paying the tithes which of old he vowed to the house of God there.

All writers of the Chaldaean period associate monotheism in the closest way with unity of worship.

The Priestly Code preponderates over the rest of the legislation in force, as well as in bulk; in all matters of primary importance it is the normal and final authority.

It is only in the case of the Priestly Code that opinions differ widely; for it tries hard to imitate the costume of the Mosaic period, and, with whatever success, to disguise its own.

For the earliest period of the history of Israel, all that precedes the building of the temple, not a trace can be found of any sanctuary of exclusive legitimacy.

To my thinking, this: - that the Priestly Code rests upon the result which is only the aim of Deuteronomy.

And finally, it was Deuteronomy that brought about the historical result of Josiah's reformation.

A judgment pronounced in accordance with the facts can therefore assign to it an historical place only within that movement of reformation which was brought to a victorious issue by King Josiah.

The Law is never weary of again and again repeating its injunction of local unity of worship.
