The Exodus

In “African-Americans, Exodus, and the American Israel”, Raboteau discusses the story of Exodus and how it has been used to represent two contradictory ideologies in America. White Christian settlers saw themselves as the New Israel; they were leaving behind the crown, crossing the ocean to a new world, much like the crossing of the Red Sea into the Promised Land.

In the article “Mass Exodus From the Plains”, 2.5 million people left the Plains and migrated to the west coast because of the relentless dust storms and drought. If that didn’t drive the remaining people away to California, then certainly the bank foreclosures did. Out of the 2.5 million who had left the Plains, 200,000 of them had moved to California. Unfortunately, their movement wasn’t accepted in California- the police chief of California went so far as to call forth 125 policemen to turn…

went to Canaan through the leadership of Moses, but they make an important stop at Sinai, where they received the Law. To Canaan’s period took around 40 years (1290-1250) and it is described in Exodus 12-40, the books of Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua.

The change from the Pharaoh’s daughter finding the baby to the Pharaoh’s wife plays an important part of the story line. This makes Ramses Moses’ brother, as well as a rival. Whereas in the biblical story, Ramses was Moses’ uncle. Exodus 2:10-12 shares that Moses went out to where his own people were and watched them as they performed hard labor. He witnessed an Egyptian beating a Hebrew. This angered Moses and when he thought that no one was looking, he struck down the Egyptian and hid…

The Book of Exodus, written in 1400 BC describes God’s call of Moses, a Hebrew raised in Ramses II’s court in Egypt, to lead the enslaved Hebrews out of bondage in Egypt, to the Promised Land in Canaan. Gilgamesh and Moses function as heroes in these two ancient…

The overall book reads like a history textbook on the Dust Bowl, which is divided into two parts instead of narrative based on one family like The Grapes of Wrath. The first…

The ‘Guidance out of Egypt’ and the ‘Revelation of Sinai’ includes the Egyptian slavery, their journey to Sinai, and the laws given at Sinai. These are similar to the first and second part of Exodus according to Gordon Wenham (2003, p. 58). These sections of Exodus includes the Israelites’ escape from slavery and the Mosaic Covenant. The themes, however, do not involve the story of Moses, the Mosaic Covenant, the ten plagues, and the Passover. Noth’s themes imply that the Lord helped the…
