| | JewishEncyclopedia.com - EXODUS, BOOK OF. |
 | | Exodus contains the most fundamental anct sublime revelations of God regarding His nature and will, and describes the beginnings of the theocratic constitution of the Israelitic people and the foundations of its ethics, law, customs, and worship. |
 | | In Exodus are found for the first time the preeminent characteristics of the Israelitic law: its origin in and pragmatic connection with history. |
 | | The critical problems and hypotheses that Exodus shares with the other books, such as the historical value of the accounts; authorship; relation to the later books; age, origin, and character of the alleged sources, can not be discussed here now; the analysis of sources of Exodus can alone be treated. |
