ABSTRACT

This paper examines the role of 'reconciliation movement' in Genesis in the history of Israel religion through traditional criticism and how it influences final formation of the Pentateuch. The story in Jacob - Esau (Genesis 33) is the key to solving the problem. It is especially important that there is a great difference between the role of the Edomites in the Book Samuel and the Pentateuch. Here this concept is closely linked to the 'reconciliation' movement in the books of the prophets. Edom in Jeremiah 27 and 49 and, which appeared in chapters 32-36 of Ezekiel, also reflects the historical activities of the seventh and sixth centuries BCE. Amos and Obadiah continue to be introduced in Malachi and Edom as a negative perspective from Israel's side. In this point, the theme of 'reconciliation theology' is more likely to be the theme that appeared in the late Persian period than the concept of the monarchy age. Therefore, the final editing as priestly concept of the Pentateuch suggests that the time of many of the non-Jahwist documents already raised is later than the time of the priestly document, which also suggests the formation of a new Pentateuch.
