Exodus

Dr. Constable's Expository NotesConstable's Expository Notes

- Exodus

by Thomas Constable

Introduction

TITLE

The Hebrew title of this book (we’elleh shemot) originated from the ancient practice of naming a Bible book after its first word or words. "Now these are the names of" is the translation of the first two Hebrew words.

"The Hebrew title of the Book of Exodus, therefore, was to remind us that Exodus is the sequel to Genesis and that one of its purposes is to continue the history of God’s people as well as elaborate further on the great themes so nobly introduced in Genesis." [Note: Ronald Youngblood, Exodus, pp. 9-10.]

Exodus cannot stand alone in the sense that it would not make much sense without Genesis. The very first word of the book, translated "now," is a conjunction that means "and."

The English title "Exodus" is a transliteration of the Greek word exodos from the Septuagint translation meaning "exit," "way out," or "departure." The Septuagint translators gave the book this title because of the major event in it, namely, the Israelites’ departure from Egypt.

"The exodus is the most significant historical and theological event of the Old Testament . . ." [Note: Eugene H. Merrill, Kingdom of Priests, p. 57.]

DATE AND WRITER

Moses, who lived from about 1525 to 1405 B.C., wrote Exodus (Exo_17:14; Exo_24:4; Exo_34:4; Exo_34:27-29). He could have written it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit any time after the events recorded (after about 1444 B.C.). He may have written it during the year the Israelites camped at the base of Mt. Sinai. He may have done so during the 38-year period of wandering in the wilderness following the Israelites’ failure to enter the land from Kadesh Barnea (cf. Numbers 13-14; ca. 1443-1405 B.C.). On the other hand he may have written it on the plains of Moab just before his death (cf. Exo_16:35). [Note: On the date of the Exodus, see my note at the end of 12:37-42; Tremper Longman III and Raymond B. Dillard, An Introduction to the Old Testament, pp. 65-69; or John D. Hannah, "Exodus," in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: Old Testament, pp. 104-5. On the Mosaic authorship of Exodus, see my note on the writer of Genesis and the sources referred to there, in my notes on Genesis. Kenneth Kitchen, "The Old Testament in its Context: 2 From Egypt to the Jordan," Theological Students’ Fellowship Bulletin (1971):4-8, also has helpful background information on the Mosaic authorship of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, as does Gleason L. Archer, "Old Testament History and Recent Archaeology from Moses to David," Bibliotheca Sacra 127:506 (April-June 1970):99-106.]

These dates tie in with the date of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, which will be discussed in the exposition of chapter 12 below.

SCOPE

Exodus embraces about 431 years of history, from the arrival of Jacob and his family in Egypt (ca. 1876 B.C.) to the erection of the tabernacle in the wilderness of Sinai (ca. 1445 B.C.). However Exo_1:1-7 is a review of Jacob’s family. If we eliminate this section, the narrative resumes the story of the Israelites where Genesis ends, after the death of Joseph. About 364 years elapsed between the death of Joseph and the building of the tabernacle. The bulk of the book (chs. 3-40) deals with only two of these years, the year before and the year after the Exodus from Egypt. The Exodus event is clearly the focus of this book.

The Israelites lived in Egypt 430 years (Exo_12:40). Gen_15:13 has the round number 400 years as the time of Israel’s oppression in Egypt. [Note: See the "Chronology Chart for Exodus" in John Davis, Moses and the Gods of Egypt, p. 14.]

PURPOSE

"The purpose of the Book of Exodus is to celebrate God’s gracious deliverance of His chosen people Israel from Egyptian slavery to the freedom of covenant relationship and fellowship with Him." [Note: Eugene H. Merrill, in The Old Testament Explorer, p. 41.]

GENRE

Like Genesis, Exodus contains a mixture of literary genres, including narrative, poetry, legal, and cultic. [Note: Herbert M. Wolf, An Introduction to the Old Testament Pentateuch, p. 127.] As a whole, however, it seems best to classify the whole book as theological instructional history. [Note: Longman and Dillard, p. 72]

IMPORTANCE

"No other biblical book surfaces elsewhere in the OT as frequently as the Book of Exodus does; in the NT only the Books of Psalms and Isaiah are cited more, and that for the fairly obvious reasons of liturgy and messianism." [Note: John I. Durham, Exodus, p. xxiii.]

"The deliverance of Israel out of Egypt by Yahweh in the Old Testament is parallel in importance to the resurrection of Christ in the New Testament. The historicity of these events is a critical foundation for a proper understanding of the rest of the Bible." [Note: J. Daniel Hays, "An Evangelical Approach to Old Testament Narrative Criticism," Bibliotheca Sacra 166:661 (January-March 2009):13.]

In an interesting and original chart of Exodus, Ted Grove suggested the following structural outline of Exodus. [Note: Ted was a student in my Old Testament History I course in the spring of 1991.]

I.    Israel’s liberation chs. 1-18

A.    Israel’s affliction (Israel is Egypt’s possession) Exo_1:1 to Exo_2:14

B.    Deliverance Exo_2:15 to Exo_18:27

    Ted saw the following chiastic structure in this section.

    A    Midian: Moses’ commission Exo_2:15 to Exo_4:28

        B    Enemy: Egypt defeated Exo_4:29 to Exo_15:21

            C    Water: bitter to sweet and 12 springs Exo_15:22-27

                D    Food: manna and quail ch. 16

            C’    Water: out of rock Exo_17:1-7

        B’    Enemy: Amalek defeated Exo_17:8-16

    A’    Midian: Moses accepts wisdom ch. 18

II.    Israel’s adoption chs. 19-40

A.    Covenant delivered Exo_19:1 to Exo_24:11

B.    Sanctuary planned Exo_24:12 to Exo_31:18

C.    Covenant broken ch. 32

D.    Covenant renewed chs. 33-34

E.    Sanctuary’s construction Exo_35:1 to Exo_40:33

F.    Covenant sealed (Israel is God’s possession) Exo_40:34-38

    Ted also saw a chiasm in this part of the book.

    A    Covenant delivered Exo_19:1 to Exo_24:11

        B    Tabernacle planned Exo_24:12 to Exo_27:21

            C    Priestly instructions chs. 28-30

                D    Craftsmen’s direction Exo_31:1-11

                    E    Sabbath instructions Exo_31:12-18

                        F    Covenant broken ch. 32

                        F’    Covenant renewed chs. 33-34

                    E’    Sabbath reminded Exo_35:1-3

                D’    Craftsmen and construction Exo_35:4 to Exo_38:31

            C’    Priests prepared ch. 39

        B’    Tabernacle completed Exo_40:1-33

    A’    Covenant sealed Exo_40:34-38

The center of the first chiasm is the manna. The center of the second chiasm is the tablets of the Law. These were the two items God instructed Moses to preserve in the ark of the covenant.

Ted saw the key verse of the book as Exo_34:9.

Conclusion Of Exodus

The major message of this book is that Yahweh is the sovereign God who provides deliverance for people from the slavery in which they find themselves. Moses revealed God’s methods of providing salvation in Exodus.

His method of dealing with the whole human race was to create a pattern in the nation of Israel of how glorious it can be to live under the government of Yahweh. His method of dealing with Israel was by revealing Himself in power and glory. God intended this revelation to produce the double reaction of obedience (horizontally) and worship (vertically) in the Israelites. God’s method of dealing with individuals was by providing opportunities to obey and experience blessing or to disobey and experience chastisement.

God’s purposes as revealed in Exodus are continually moving forward. People’s actions such as disobedience, apostasy, and rebellion affect God’s purposes, but they never frustrate them. Man’s actions in Exodus fail apart from God’s grace. This fact demonstrates that in both his nature and practice man is a congenital sinner.

God’s grace in choosing Israel and blessing her with deliverance, adoption, and His abiding presence stands out clearly in Exodus, especially in view of Israel’s ingratitude and rebelliousness.

"Exodus contains some of the richest, foundational theology of all the books in the OT. Preeminently, it lays the foundations for a theology of God’s revelation of his person, his redemption, his law, and his worship. It also initiates the great institution of the priesthood and the role of the prophet and formalizes the covenant relationship between God and his people." [Note: Kaiser, "Exodus," p. 292.]

"With Yahweh’s Presence promised, then demonstrated, then given to Israel in theophany at Sinai, the first half of Exodus ends. The second half of the book is preoccupied with response to that Presence, in life, in covenant, in worship, and even in disobedience. The largest part of that second half has to do with the communication to Israel of the reality of that Presence, through a series of set-apart places, set-apart objects and set-apart acts, all of them intimately connected, in one way or another, with Yahweh’s Presence." [Note: Durham, p. 501.]
