Excerpt from Dissertations Genuineness of the Pentateuch, Vol. 1
The work, of which a translation is now presented to the English reader, comprises the second and third of three volumes, published successively in the years 1831, 1836, 1839, under the general title of Beitrage zur Einleitung ins Alte Testament. (Contributions for the Introduction to the Old Testament). In the preface to the first volume (on the genuineness of Daniel and the integrity of Zechariah), the author mentions several other topics of great interest to the Biblical Student, which he proposed to include in the "Contributions," but the pledge thus given has been hitherto only partially redeemed by the valuable articles that bear his signature in Kitto's Biblical Cyclop?dia.
It appears proper to state, that, in reply to an enquiry whether the author had prepared any corrections or additions for a new edition of the "Beitrage" Dr Hengstenberg informed the Translator that there was no prospect of an immediate republication, and that within the last ten years, very few works on the Pentateuch had appeared in Germany of sufficient importance to call for special notice or animadversion.
The Translator has aimed throughout at the utmost perspicuity; and though he cannot flatter himself with complete success (more particularly in the Introduction), he hopes that there are but few passages which will fail to convey the Author's meaning with accuracy and distinctness.
Whenever the division of chapters and verses differs in the Hebrew from that of the authorized version, the latter is added in brackets.
