The interpretation of Exodus 4:24-26 is very controversial. Scholars have treated this text from various viewpoints on the basis of divergent methods or approaches. Two fundamental problems cause uncertainty about the origin and meaning of this text. One problem has to do with the nature of Exod 4:24-26. Another problem is the identity of the persons mentioned in Exod 4:24-26. This book arranges forty-two documented interpretations under each approach or approaches, presenting the view of each scholar proposing his/her interpretation of Exodus 4:24-26 in chronological order. The author presents his own view in the concluding chapter, essentially adopting a redactional, canonical, narrative, rhetorical methodology.
Contents: Early Jewish Explanations – Early Christian Views – Ideological and Psychological Criticisms – Source Criticism, Form Criticism – Contextual, Sociological Explanations – Neglected Circumcision – Redaction Criticism, Narrative Criticism, Rhetorical Criticism, Canonical Criticism – Recurring Conflicts between Yahweh and Moses.
