Abstract:
Contends that the biblical account of a sojourn of the Jews in Egypt and of the Exodus is a myth, a focal point for national identity. Contends that the Israelites were a segment of the Canaanite population which came down from Syria. Another segment had ties to Egypt, and likely developed the Yahwistic faith from there. It is possible that the Book of Exodus may preserve authentic historical memories of the emergence of the Jewish religion in Egypt.
