English summary: Twenty-one studies dedicated to the composition and redaction of the Pentateuch and the Hexateuch, written over ten years as part of the Munster Old Testament scholar Rainer Albertz's work on his Exodus Commentary, are gathered in this volume. Five of them were previously unpublished, while a further eight were revised and translated for their first appearance in German. The problem-orientated approach taken reveals a model for the emergence of the Pentateuch that could replace the classical three-source theory. A concluding overview makes it easier to gauge the model's effectiveness by assigning the texts dealt with to the identifiable tradition- and redaction-historical development stages of the Pentateuch. German description: Der vorliegende Band umfasst einundzwanzig Studien zur Komposition und Redaktion des Pentateuch/Hexateuch, die der Munsteraner Alttestamentler Rainer Albertz im Umkreis seiner Arbeit am Exoduskommentar in den letzten zehn Jahren verfasst hat. Acht fremdsprachlich veroffentlichte Beitrage erscheinen hier erstmals in einer uberarbeiteten deutschen Fassung; funf weitere werden hier erstmals veroffentlicht. Aus der forschungsgeschichtlich- und problemorientierten Zusammenschau zeichnet sich ein kompositions- und redaktionsgeschichtliches Modell fur die Entstehung des Pentateuch ab, das an die Stelle der klassischen Drei-Quellen-Theorie treten konnte. Am Ende wird eine Ubersicht uber die vorgenommenen Textzuweisungen zu den erkennbaren uberlieferungsgeschichtlichen und redaktionellen Entwicklungsstufen des Pentateuch geboten, welche die Leistungsfahigkeit des vorgelegten Modells leichter abschatzbar macht.
