‘J’. A symbol used by scholars who follow the ‘documentary thesis’ of the origins of the Pentateuch; it denotes the Jahvistic (Yahwistic or Jehovistic) source. It is marked by its simple narrative style and anthropomorphism and by its use of the Divine name Yahweh even before its revelation to Moses in Exod. 3:14 f.
