Also in his Gesckickte der IsraelitiscAen Religion (1897), p. 166. Digitized by Google 104 JEREMIAH AND DEUTERONOMY [ch. wisdom and discernment in the eyes of the peoples, who shall hear of all these ordinances, and shall say, Surely a wise and discerning people is this great nation f (Deut. iv. 6). Nor is it in the abstract impossible that Jeremiah should have challenged its divine authority. In short, that MartTs view can be read into the passage is undeniable; and the only question is whethe...r this be the only admissible interpretation. Now, the second half of v. 8, being the answer to the first, might mean either that the people had not the true Tora of Yahwe (in which case Deuteronomy is stigmatised as a fraud), or that having it they are none the better, because it had been so overlaid by scribal additions as to have lost all value as an ethical standard. Hence several writers hold that the reference is to tentative legislative essays in the direction of the later Priestly Code, whose tend- ency was to emphasise the ceremonial element in religion, and enhance the prestige of the Temple and the power of the priesthood.
