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.
