    The books that were “rewritten” were the kings of Israel were ranked according to adherence to Deuteronomy Law. The prophetical books remained untouched, I believe. At a quick glance at my books, I don’t see anything about rewriting prophecy. Would you mind sharing your knowledge?

      Sorry, it’s been too long. I could be full of shit anyway :P

      It might be more a case of selecting than editing the canon anyway.

        I’M SO SORRY!!! I’M DUMB. I think I understand where you’re coming from. Referring to King Josiah’s reign in which Samaria was pretty much excluded further, which inevitability led to some bad tensions. He compiled the books into the official canon and told Samaria to basically eat it lol. Every great king in the bible is terrible lmao. Love it.

        edit: I was narrow mindedly, only considering the offical Hebrew Bible perspective, whereas you were considering the broader Judaism that was prevelant in Samaria. early-early Judaism is so wild
