Given its thematic presence throughout the Bible, the Exodus isunlikely to be just fictional. Rather, embedded in the many literaryand mythological embellishments is an authentic historicalmemory of an event that the participants, probably a small groupof runaway slaves, identified as the decisive action of their god ontheir behalf. That event, celebrated in song, in ritual, and innarrative, gave them an identity that against all odds they havemaintained to this day. It was a formative event, making them whothey were-the people Yahweh had chosen as his "treasuredpossession" (Exod. 19:5).
Because of the importance of the Exodus, laws, rituals, institutions,and other aspects of Israelite society were linked to it. To take justone example, the Ten Commandments are viewed as their responseto what Yahweh had done for them: "I am Yahweh your God, whobrought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery"(Exod. 20:2).
This probe into Exodus 1-15 illustrates the complexity of biblicaltraditions. Almost every biblical text is composite in the sensethat unlike modern works it was not written once and thenconsidered complete; rather, a text was subject to constantmodification, variation, commentary, elaboration, expansion,and other types of addition and editing as writers from latergenerations continued to add their insights.
At the same time, the Exodus narrative also illustrates theintersection of history and myth. For the biblical writers, Yahwehwas the primary actor in history-as modern scholars have put it,he was the 'qord of history," although that is not a biblical phrase.Whatever happened was ultimately Yahweh's doing; the challengewas to fathom exactly what he was doing and why. Or, as we haveput it more academically above, history had a mythical dimension.
