Keil was appointed to the theological faculty of Dorpat in Estonia where he taught Bible,New Testament exegesis,and Oriental languages. In 1859 he was called to serve the Lutheran church in Leipzig. In 1887 he moved to Rödletz,where he died. Keil was a conservative critic who reacted strongly against the scientific biblical criticism of his day.
