Description
After a review of the distinctive traits of each of the five books that turn the Psalter into a second Pentateuch, eight semantic or conceptual cases are identified as likely references to Deuteronomy, shoring up Jamie Grant’s view of the influence of the law of the king, but broadened to other parts of Deuteronomy.
