'Martin Noth' (August 3, 1902 – May 30, 1968) was a German scholar of the Hebrew Bible who specialized in the pre-Exilic history of the Hebrews.
Noth was born in Dresden, Germany and later moved to Israel. With Gerhard von Rad he pioneered the traditional-historical approach to biblical studies, emphasising the role of oral traditions in the formation of the biblical texts.
Noth first attracted widespread attention with "Das System der zwölf Stämme Israels" (“The Scheme of the Twelve Tribes of Israelâ€, 1930), positing that the Twelve Tribes of Israel did not exist prior to the covenant assembly at Shechem described in the book of Joshua.
"A History of Pentateuchal Traditions," (1948, English translation 1972) set out a new model for the composition of the
Pentateuch, or Torah. Noth abandoned the dominant model of the time, the documentary hypothesis, and instead saw the Pentateuch as composed of blocks of traditional material accreted round some key historical experiences, which he identified as "Guidance out of Egypt," "Guidance into the Arable Land," "Promise to the Patriarchs," "Guidance in the Wilderness" and "Revelation at Sinai," the details of the narrative serving to fill out the thematic outline.
Even more revolutionary and influential, quite reorienting the emphasis of modern scholarship, was "The Deuteronomistic History". In this work Noth argued that the earlier theory of several Deuteronomist redactions of the books from Joshua to Kings did not explain the facts, and instead proposed that they formed a unified "Deuteronomic history", the product of a single author working in the late 7th century.
Noth also published commentaries on all the books of the Pentateuch, and on the concept of a Hexateuch.
