The consensus of biblical scholars is that principal 'sources' for the Pentateuch (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy) were the anonymous sources now known as the Yahwist, or 'J' Source, the Elohist, or 'E' Source, the Deuteronomist, or 'D' Source, and the Priestly Source, or just 'P' Source.
The earliest of these is believed to be the Yahwist, who lived in the southern kingdom of Judah around the ninth century BCE, although some recent scholars would date him much later. The latest of the four sources was the Priestly Source, who wrote during the Babylonian Exile.
A number of Redactors expertly wove together their contributions to the Books of Genesis and Exodus so that even when a doublet exists, a modern reader is scarecely aware that two different traditions are being presented.

A:The Old Testament gives us two famous examples of persons interpreting dreams.
