J Source

The J source, or J document, is believed by some biblical scholars to be one of the original sources or traditions that contributed to the creation of the first five books of the Bible. Written in parts, it is characterized by a distinctive style that includes vivid storytelling, a personal tone, and references to God primarily as "Yahweh." The J source is thought to be an early, traditional narrative that provides insight into ancient Israelite religion and history. Its contributions have been identified through scholarly analysis of the text's language and themes within the broader biblical compilation.
