Exodus 1-7 documents the beginning of the Passover story, but more importantly, in this case, intertwines the story of twelve different female protagonists; each greatly influences the life of Moses by fulfilling their roles as nurturers, protectors, and leaders. The list begins with the Hebrew midwives, proceeds with the woman [Moses’ mother], sister [Miriam], daughter of Pharaoh, and the seven sisters [particularly Zipporah].

Hebrew Bible, composed of prose narrative texts, poetry and intricate literary characters, examines and records the wavering relationship between God and humans. While the connection God has with many literary characters, from Noah to Job serve to illuminate the bond between divine and the mortal, no fellowship is more important than that between God and Moses. Moses, whose presence is made aware in the Book of Exodus, unequivocally is one of the first protagonist in the Hebrew Bible. While he demonstrates
From the point of view of the subject of legal regulation, Sinai law is a complex set of norms of canon and ecclesiastical, civil, family and criminal law, which are not institutionally demarcated from each other in the sacred biblical texts. Exodus also is not an exception because in the days described in it the Jewish people were still on the way to their future state. In fact, legal system of ancient Israel only began to take shape, evolving from a form of oral customary law in a more perfect
They are not merely used to establish parallels among characters and readers, but to illustrate their incompatibility with reality. Hence, Steinbeck does not use biblical allusions to relate characters to readers, but to highlight the unrelatability between the characters in his book, and the characters in the bible. Characters in the bible suffer temporarily, while his characters suffer perpetually. Furthermore, Crockett’s second analysis agues that the ending of The Grapes of Wrath is not purposeless
Contrasting the Gods in Homer’s Odyssey and the Biblical Book of Exodus Many authors have employed the religious beliefs of their cultures in literature. The deities contained in Homer’s Odyssey and in the Biblical book of Exodus reflect the nature of the gods in their respective societies. Upon examination of these two works, there are three major areas where the gods of the Greek epic seem to directly contrast the nature of the God of the Israelites: the way problems are solved, the prestige

Statement of the Problem The Covenant Code is a legal literature of religious and social character. It is so called because it contains a set of legal procedures, ethical behaviors, social rules, and commandments that are related to the covenant (Exod 19:3-8). All of
from this group. The people of Israel were overcome by the Egyptians and the Egyptians thus “set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens” (Exodus 1:11). The Israelites “groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help” and only then “God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob” (Exodus 2:23; Exodus 2:24).

At this point in the study, one must now look at specifics of justice throughout the Bible. This will be done by breaking the text into sections so thorough analysis can be achieved. However, one must note that the fundamental study of justice throughout the Bible could take pages to flesh out. Thus, this paper is simply a survey of justice and there are undoubtedly far more pages one could explore. The previous pages have set a solid foundation for the following content. With that, the starting
