The Pilgrimage Pattern in Exodus, Hardback Book

The Pilgrimage Pattern in Exodus Hardback

Part of the The Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament Studies series

Hardback

Description

Underlying Exodus in its priestly redaction is a pilgrimage.

Smith's new book starts by reviewing pilgrimage shrines, feasts and practices in ancient Israel.

Next, it examines the two pilgrimage journeys in Exodus.

In Exodus 1-15 Moses journeys to Mount Sinai, experiences God and receives his commission.

In Exodus 16-40, Moses and the people together journey to Mount Sinai for the people's experience of God and their commission.

Between lies Exodus 15, the fulcrum-point of the book: vv. 1-12 look back and vv. 13-18 look forward to Israel's journey to Sinai. Finally, the different meanings of torah in the book of Exodus are contrasted, and the book concludes with a consideration of Exodus's larger place in the Pentateuch.
