A SCIENTIFIC REACTION (Biblical - Archeological - Literal - Historical 10 )

            (3)The double recorded stories:-                                                                                                                                                                                       They are as follows,                                                                                                                                                                                     {a}"Wellhausen" said that it was a double recorded story, about the casting out of "Hagar"at Gen 16.4,9.21 .The first refer to "J" but the second to "E"                                                                                                                                                                         BUT,when we refer to the two stories, we find them Two Different Stories, The first about "Hagar's"escaping by her free will ,when she was pregnant, and ,The second is the story of her casting out by the will of "Sarah"when The Son of "Hagar "was a teen ager.                                                                                 {b}The story of  "Beersheba"in Ge21.31,Gen26.31 .                                                                                        "Wellhausen "did not know ,that their were two words in the Hebrew language, both of them consists of three letters, (sheen),(beth),(ain), [SHABA and SHEBA] The first root means satisfaction, but, The second means seven. The three letters "SH,B,A"could not reflect the same root, at Ge 21 "ABRAHAM " named the "WELL"which is the translation of the Hebraic word "beer" of the seven" BEERSHEBA",     but the second at Gen 26.31"ISAC" named the "COUNTRY" "beer" which also means "well"or"source"of the" satisfaction" the Hebrew word is "shaba""BEERSHABA" .                                                                                           {c}The story of the denying  wife three times Gen 12.10,Gen20.1,Gen26.6  .                                                                                                                          "Wellhausen "also did not tray to understand that three were different, it was not a single story, recorded three times, The first one occurs by "ABRAM"at "EGYPT" because the "FAMINE" ,but the second one was by"ABRAHAM" [the same person but after many years] at"GERAR" while he was "TRAVELING" far after the accident of "Sodom" ,also, The third were by "ISAC" because of a"FAMINE",                               "Gerar" and "Abimalech" ,the king of "Gerar ",were "Wellhausen's" bases ,for his suggestion, But now we have found in the Archeology, that the name of "Abimalech",was common at that time ,as a title for the king of "Gerar", it was not the same person ,it was the name which the pharaohs have used, to call the chieftain of the Palestine leaders,.as they called themselves Pharaohs .They were three accidents, every one of them has its circumstances ,                                                                                                                                               "Aalders" and "Allis"made a study for these stories, and proved that ,the changing in these stories, ensured the anti Wellhausen's thoughts,because the repeating was common style of the old semitic literature ,and it employed to prove the story ,and to  make it easy (see J.Muilenburg,"A Study in Hebrew Rhetoric Repetation and Style in Supplements to the New Testament" 1953),also the book of "J.Pederson" "Israel,I,II,1926",                                                                                                                                      The christian scientists, were not the only persons ,who attacked the "Wellhausen's"assumptions, in concern of the double recorded stories {due to his idea), but some of the critics, also ,defended the repeating , like "B.D.Eordmans" who accepted the theme of the origin "P", he said that all these stories,  referred to the same origin "P" not to many origins, although he have suggested other origins for other parts .                                                                                                                            And followed                                                                                      Rev.Joseph.
