    Abstract: Benedetta Rossi explores the reception of Exodus in the prophetic books. Exodus is commonly recognised as a founding myth within the prophets. Following up the three major lines of interpretation of the reception of Exodus in the prophetic books, the survey methodology is reconsidered. The analysis undertaken in this chapter does not limit itself to exit formulas and the actual departure from Egypt but focuses on a network of Exodus motifs. A major focus is on intertwining references to Exodus and other OT writings and contrasting receptions of Exodus in the prophetic books. The prophets resume, modify and use Exodus motifs to relaunch history (battle of Yhwh and divine wonders, election and covenant, exit from Egypt and entering the land).

    Abstract: Mika S. Pajunen examines the reception of the exodus narratives within the Dead Sea Scrolls. His focus is on the approximately twenty Qumran texts which interact with this tradition, which he considers within three broad groupings: those (e.g. 4Q158; the Book of Giants; the Visions of Amram) which prophesy the exodus as a future event; historical summaries (e.g. 4Q370; 4Q422; 4Q470) and liturgical texts (e.g. the Festival Prayers and the Words of the Luminaries) whch retell and reinterpret these narratives, often with an exhortatory purpose; and those (e.g. the Damascus Document and the Barkhi Nafshi Hymns) which employ the exodus as a prototype of divine justice to explain contemporary events. This chapter, therefore, highlights the range of ways in which exodus motifs are used within the Scrolls to reinforce the community’s theology and ideology.

    Keywords: Philo, Criticism and interpretation ; Exodus, The, in post-biblical literature
    Abstract: Sean A. Adams explores Exodus motifs in the writings of Philo. Exodus is the second most referenced scriptural book (after Genesis) in the Philonic corpus, although this focus on Exodus is not evenly distributed across all of Philo’s works, and he engages with its text in a variety of ways. Adams offers a succint overview of this material, and then selects two major aspects of it for more detailed investigation. First, he considers several Exodus passages which are employed by Philo in multiple treatises and so can be assumed to have particular significance for him (e.g. Exod 3:14; 7:1). Second, he examines how specific Exodus passages are interpreted by Philo in his Allegorical Commentary. Adams draws out from this study some important conclusions about Philo’s general exegetical method, espcially his exploitation of the intertextuality between Exodus and Genesis and other scriptural writings.

    Abstract: Joshua Coutts deals with Exodus motifs in the fourth Gospel which includes only two citations of Exodus. John reads Israel’s Scriptures in light of the climactic event of Jesus. The contribution emphasises that John interprets Exodus traditions in the context of a broader interpretative tradition (Isaiah; Synoptic Gospels, in particular by Mark) which deal with divine revelation, divine teaching, and eschatological expectations. It does not isolate John’s direct engagement with the discrete book of Exodus but considers explicit points of engagement with Exodus (John 1:14–18; 6:31; 19:36), John’s historical location and ripple effects of Exodus that extend across the Gospel. John’s Gospel read in light of Exodus motifs functions as a foundational, identity-forming document for the people of God.

    Abstract: Rita Müller-Fieberg in the closing chapter again deals with the Exodus hymn (Ex 15) and its understanding in Rev 15. After a short survey of research and open questions related to the reception of Exodus motifs the main focus lies on the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb in Rev 15:3 and its OT background. Allusions are analysed on a linguistic level, in terms of thematic similarities, structure and context. Exod 15:1–18 is recognised as paradigm for John’s reception of Exodus. In terms of methodology it is emphasised that processes of reception are always processes of acquisition and transformation. Exodus is not regarded as the only conceptual framework for NT theology of deliverance as it is only one writing among several inner- and extrabiblical rewritings.

    Keywords: Wisdom of Solomon Relation to the Bible ; Exodus, The, in post-biblical literature
    Abstract: Maurice Gilbert SJ explores Exodus motifs in Wis 10:15–19:22 in the context of the entire writing. Therefore, the Greek text, its unity, literary structure and genre, main theological themes, and its date is scholarly discussed first. The main Exodus motifs which are explored are Moses, the plagues and the portrayal of God. Five characteristics are summarised: hymnal anamnesis in rewriting the exodus’ events, the universalism of the message, the Jewish reading of the books of Genesis, Exodus and Numbers, the actualisation of the rewritten exodus, and the eschatology in Wis 10–19. Additional Exodus motifs in the section are the manna and the creation renewal. The Book of Wisdom is regarded as an encomium which is demonstrated at Wis 10–19. In terms of the reception of Exodus motifs, the term ‛midrashic rewriting’ is used to explain the relationship between the two OT books.

    Keywords: Josephus, Flavius Criticism and interpretation ; Exodus, The, in post-biblical literature
    Abstract: Erkki Koskenniemi analyses the interpretation of the narratives of Exodus 1–15 in the works of Josephus. He begins with a detailed explanation of the ways in which Josephus’ retellings differ from the underlying scriptural accounts, especially in their presentation of Moses and in the emphasis on the damage inflicted by the plagues on those who provoke God to anger. He then considers some of the key specific issues raised by Josephus’ treatment of these texts, including the extent to which his picture of Moses is influenced by Hellenistic literary and cultural norms, and by a wish to counter negative versions of the history of the Jews in contemporary circulation. His conclusions on these points sometimes challenge the scholarly consensus, as he argues that the influence of Hellenistic ideas on Josephus has often been overstated.

    Abstract: Garrick V. Allen regards the Synoptic Gospels as part of the larger trajectory of Jewish literary production. The chapter emphasises the flexible ways that the Gospels alluded to and reused exodus traditions. In addition, it pays attention to the fact that the evangelists engage with Exodus motifs through existing exegetical traditions (e.g. via Isaiah and other prophets). Examples are discussed from all three gospels. Three critical points related to scriptural reuse are highlighted: the development of Exodus motifs demonstrate the flexibility, complexity and mediation of scriptural tradition.

    Abstract: Anne M. O’Leary PBVM and Patricia Murray IBVM present an interdisciplinary chapter which deals with the many faces of exodus today (trafficking of human persons) and the founding of the international network Talitha Kum by the UISG (Rome). The biblical background of the name and work of the organisation is explored further in the first part. The focus lies on the Exodus motifs in form of the five citations of Exodus in Mark (1:2; 7:10; 10:19; 12:26; 14:24) in the wider context. Three intertwined research questions structure the chapter: 1. How does Mark’s use of the five [part-or composite] Exodus citations inform his portrayal of the identity and mission of Jesus? 2. How does a study of the Exodus citations listed above illuminate our reading of the interlocking healings by Jesus of Jairus’ daughter and that of the woman with the flow of blood, Mark 5:21–43? How can the story of the two healings in Mark 5:21–43 inform the role of contemporary disciples in the church and world? Mark’s technique of intercalation captures in narrative structure is but the principle of universal wisdom, namely, that there always is ’a story within a story’.

    Abstract: Beate Kowalski deals with the only Catholic Epistle which alludes to Exodus motifs: 1 Peter. Though the letter is very familiar with the biblical writings, the author only alludes to a very few texts in Exodus (1 Peter 1:2; 2:9) which in fact are composite allusions. In this chapter the original and new contexts of these quotations are compared with each other. Sean A. Adams` and Seath Ehorn` rules for composite quotations are modified and used to classify the allusions to Exodus motifs in 1 Peter. They are a good starting point for the follow-up research project on composite allusions. The second surprising result was the overarching scriptural framework: The author of the letter cross-linked 1:2 and 2:9 by using pretexts from the Book of Exodus in order to construct Christian identity for his addressees. The letter opening in 1 Pet 1:1–2 already intends to evoke an overarching scriptural framework for constructing a distinct Christian identity to his audience. In terms of methodology, three issues are remarkable: 1. the importance of the context; 2. the composite nature of the allusions; and 3. the interconnectedness of the two text passages of 1 Peter by using Exodus.
