In this episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, host Lance Smith tackles one of the most intriguing puzzles in biblical studies: the authorship of Exodus 6:26-27. Did Moses himself write this passage, or does it betray the hand of a later scribe? Lance dives deep into the debate, exploring both traditional views and modern scholarly theories.

Listeners will explore the documentary hypothesis, which suggests multiple authors contributed to the Pentateuch, and hear arguments supporting the idea that Moses was indeed the original author, equipped with the skills to incorporate diverse styles under divine inspiration. This episode is packed with insights that challenge conventional beliefs and affirm the complexities of biblical authorship.
