description The present paper is a detailed analysis of the language and themes of Joshua 24:1—28. On the basis of this analysis, it is concluded that the chapter is the work of a single author, not identical with the Deuteronomist as argued by Perlitt, nor, as maintained recently by van Seters, with the Yahwist. The author of Joshua 24:1—28 utilized sources of the Pentateuch and other parts of the Bible but differed from them on significant points of history and theology. The chapter preserves pre-monarchic Shechemite traditions, but was written in the eighth century B.C.E. before the fall of Samaria.
