Exodus, 2 vols. (Anchor Yale Bible Commentary | AYBC)

Exodus is the heart of the Hebrew Bible, the defining moment in Israel’s birth as a people, the dramatic triumph of their God. Yahweh, Pharaoh, Moses, Aaron, the Hebrew slaves, the plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, Mount Sinai, the construction of the Tabernacle—these larger-than-life characters and epic events capture the imagination of everyone from biblical scholars to film makers. However, the meaning and significance, the beauty and the nuance, of this captivating book are lost unless we have a world-class Scripture scholar to open our eyes to its riches. William H. C. Propp translates the original text in all its grandeur, then provides a masterful exploration and analysis of the book of Exodus.
