The first passage is of special interest, particularly if the very early date claimed for it is correct. In it the end of ‘the laws’ seems to mean the end of Leviticus:

But there is reason to doubt whether a change is necessary, and with a view to the possible solution of the vexed question of the authorship it is better not to allow even slight deviations from P to pass unnoticed.
