"Moses 1:41 echoes or plays on the etymological meaning of the name Joseph — 'may he [Yahweh] add,' as the Lord foretells to Moses the raising up of a future figure through whom the Lord’s words, after having been 'taken' (away) from the book that Moses would write, 'shall be had again among the children of men.' Moses 1:41 anticipates and employs language reminiscent of the so-called biblical canon formulas, possible additions to biblical texts meant to ensure the texts’ stability by warning against 'adding' or 'diminishing' (i.e., 'taking away') from them (e.g., Deuteronomy 4:2; 5:22 [MT 5:18]; 12:32 [MT 13:1]; cf. Revelation 22:18– 19). This article presupposes that the vision of Moses presents restored text that was at some point recorded in Hebrew." [Publisher]
