These two volumes undertake a concrete exercise in the realization of the documentary hypothesis. It compares the rhetorical\/formal and exegetical traits of two entire, kindred documents. Then, through a side by side chart, it compares each component of the two documents'' treatment of the same extended segment of Scripture, Numbers 19. Whole documents are to be described and analyzed through a process of systematic description, comparison, and contrast. What makes the study fresh is that the author compares the two documents of the rabbinic canon that are most alikethe two Sifrés on Numbers. What makes it surprising is the result: they have nothing in common. Each is autonomous, and except for the scriptural foundation systematically shared by both, neither intersects in an appreciable measure with the other.
