Exodus


One of the Books of the Bible in the Pentateuch in the Old Testament.

(The ESV Study BibleTM, English Standard Version (ESV) by Crossway Bibles, 2007. Page )

Literary Quality

The Song of Moses in Exodus 15 is a song of deliverance, a lyric form.

(The Origin of the Bible: Newly Updated by F. F. Bruce, J. I. Packer, Philip W. Comfort, and Carl F. H. Henry, 2020. The Bible as Literature by Leland Ryken, Page 143)

Structure

The Pentateuch as a whole is similar to legal codes and treaties of the time period, particularly suzerainty treaties of the 2nd millennium. Exodus 1-18 is like the historical prologue, and 19 through Leviticus are like the stipulations of a treaty.
