The true fountainhead of Old Testament theology, 'Exodus' illuminates the significance of the name Yahweh and introduces the title I AM. It tells of Israel's formative historical event, the exodus, as well as the making of the covenant at Sinai. It includes the first code of the Law in the Decalogue and Book of the Covenant. It details Israel's besetting sin in the idolatry of the golden calf episode, but it also describes Moses' intercession and the great revelation of God's mercy. In its display of the 'Tent of Meeting', it presents the theology of the priesthood, the sacrifices, and the central sanctuary. This book explores all of these objects and events with a view toward their significance both for the meaning of the Old Testament and for the message of the Christian Church.
