The Documentary Hypothesis and the Composition of the Pentateuch offers itself as an elegantly phrased examination of the " five pillars " of the Documentary Hypothesis: 1, the claim that the use of the divine names Yahweh and Elohim testified to at least two different authors and two entirely distinct source documents ; 2, the claim that each literary style and distinctive grammatical usage found in the Pentateuch must be viewed as the product of a different writer and distinct " document "; 3, the claim that there were different world-views, theologies and ethics in each of the hypothesized documents, each independent and not complementary to each other, proving their different authorship and provenance ; 4, the claim that the existence of repetitions and even seeming contradictions proved there were different documents cut-and-pasted into the text, sometimes even as bits and pieces within single sentences ; and 5, the claim that descriptive passages can be analyzed into composite narratives drawing upon overlapping but different documents.

Cassuto's The Documentary Hypothesis and the Composition of the Pentateuch ( Hebrew, Torat HaTeudot, 1941 ; English translation, 1961 ) was one of the first mainstream works to offer a detailed critique of Wellhausen, rejecting both the central idea of the documentary model-that the Pentateuch had its origins in originally separate documents which had been combined by an editor into the final text-and Wellhausen's dating, which saw the four sources being composed between 950 and 550 BC with the final redaction around 450 BC.
However, the question of when the Pentateuch was finally written does not affect any element of Cassuto's radical critique of the dominant theories about its actual make-up, which was his chief concern, and so he treats the historical question only at the end and as a secondary issue in The Documentary Hypothesis.
It should be added that Cassuto insisted throughout this work that it was merely a summary, in eight lectures, of his much more detailed and thorough examination of the Documentary Hypothesis in his La Questione della Genesi ( 1934 ).
Cassuto's refutations above all rather devastatingly demonstrated that the supposed terminological, grammatical and stylistic traits indicative of separate documents actually were common in Hebrew language and literature and were shared with other Biblical and post-Biblical Jewish literature whose unity no-one supposed to be multiple, including liturgical, midrashic, medieval and even modern Jewish religious writing, and even more strongly that precisely the supposed divergencies, stylistic, grammatical, theoretical and theological, within the narrative, when analyzed in context and in connection not only with cognate literatures in the ancient Near East but especially with similar passages elsewhere in Biblical literature, all served an easily demonstrated and consistent common purpose whose unity and thrust tended to be qualified or to be denied altogether under the application of the Documentary Hypothesis, thereby weakening our understanding of Biblical literature and worldview generally.
To buttress this internal analysis, Cassuto also pointed out quite justly at the time that the adherents of the Documentary Hypothesis tended to ignore or misinterpret the cognate literatures and archaeological evidence and were, in addition, insufficiently self-aware of cultural tendencies in modern thought that produced identical formal results also in other unrelated areas, e. g., in Homeric Studies.
In short, the credence given the Documentary Hypothesis served extraneous cultural tendencies and biases.
To sever the universal God of nature that is according to the Pentateuch also known in other cultures behind their varying cults, from the personal God of history revealed at Sinai to Israel, as the Documentary Hypothesis implicitly does, is to distort one of the fundamental messages of the Pentateuch and Israelite religion itself, and Cassuto's remarks on the interplay of universalism and revelation within the text are particularly illuminating.
According to Cassuto, then, each of the " five pillars " of the Documentary Hypothesis crumbles to dust when approached more closely and " touched.
" In his last chapter, Cassuto counters the claim that while the individual pillars may be weak, the Documentary Hypothesis is sustained by the common thrust of them all.
Although each of the " five pillars " receives its own chapter or even two chapters of consideration, the relatively brief eight lectures of The Documentary Hypothesis can only present a few choice and representative instances to buttress each of the major points Cassuto makes, selected from amongst the parade examples used by advocates of the DH to substantiate their case.
