What reading level is Essays in Pentateuchal Criticism book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The use of a single letter to denote a word is abundantly testified by our existing material. Now the initial letter of the Hebrew word for hundred is o, the final letter of the tens. The supposition lies near at hand that in some cases a ^^ writ- ten as the final letter of a ten was mistaken by a copyist for an abbreviation for the word " hundred. " Thus, in 2 Samuel xxiv. 9, Israel has 800, 000 warriors and Judah 500, 000. It is suggested that, in an age when MS. Abbreviations were com- mon, ...these figures may have arisen from a misreading of 80, - 000 and 50, 000 respectively. Similarly, in 2 Chronicles xiii. 3, where the received text has four hundred T\'\^'!::> y^iN one MS. Reads fourteen ("iK'j? for mxD). Such a variant would naturally arise if the second word were represented by a single letter which had become illegible, and was consequently misread by a scribe.
6. It is well known that a study of biblical numbers re- veals a general tendency to multiply by ten, even where the palaeographical peculiarities noted above do not assist the pro- cess.
