The Marker Phrase in the Samaritan Pentateuch

The Hidden Bones Apocalypse was created by the insertion in the Hebrew Bible of an unusual phrase, which I’ve called “the marker phrase.” The analysis linked here compares the instances of the marker phrase in the Hebrew Bible with the parallel texts in the Samaritan Pentateuch. The analysis shows that the marker phrase is found in the Samaritan Pentateuch in every location in which it appears in the Hebrew Pentateuch and that it appears in exactly the same form in both versions. That fact is important to our argument of the timing of the phrase’s insertion into the Hebrew Bible.
