Priestly Source (P) (1 ene 587 año aC – 1 ene 450 año aC)
Descripción:
The Priestly source is traditionally associated with Babylonian Exile (587–539 BCE) or with the early post-exilic period from 539–450 BCE.6 In this time, the Babylonians pressured the leading citizens in exile to assimilate to the Babylonian religion and culture. The priestly class resisted, asserting instead those practices that would keep the Jews' distinctive ethnic identity, such as sabbatch observance, dietary laws, and their own traditions.
This author’s main concern is rituals and theology connected to Israelite priests, including dietary law, priestly temple clothing, temple architecture and construction, holy objects, and regulations regarding ritual purity. In the priestly literature, God is said to “dwell” in the tabernacle, or temple, his “house.”
