Israel in Exile
The History and Literature of the Sixth Century B.C.E.
Series:  SBL - Studies in Biblical Literature, Volume: 3
Author: Rainer Albertz
The period of the Babylonian Exile (597/587–520 B.C.E.) is one of the most enthralling eras of biblical history. During this time, Israel went through what was probably its deepest crisis; at the same time, however, the cornerstone was laid for its most profound renewal. The crisis provoked the creation of a wealth of literary works (laments, prophetic books, historical works, etc.) whose development is analyzed in detail by the methods of social history, composition criticism, and redaction criticism. The history of this era is hard to grasp, since the Bible has almost nothing to say of the exilic period. The author nevertheless attempts to illuminate the historical and social changes that affected the various Judean groups, drawing heavily on extrabiblical and archaeological evidence. His study also includes the treatment of the exile in later biblical material (Daniel, Tobit, Judith, apocalyptic literature). Thirty-five years after Peter Ackroyd’s classic Exile and Restoration, this book summarizes extensively the results of recent scholarship on this period and builds on them with a number of its own hypotheses.

Wilderness Material in Exodus (Exodus 15–18)
Author: Rainer Albertz

Abstract

The wilderness material constitutes an important part of the book of Exodus. Compositionally, it connects the two centers of the book: the liberation from Egypt (Exod 1-14) and the divine revelation at Mount Sinai (19-40). With regard to content, it reflects the difficulties of Israel's way to freedom. The long Song of Moses (15:1-18) accompanied by the short Song of Miriam (15:21) together, at the beginning of the unit, constitute a heavy compositional marker that interrupts the narrative flow and seems to conclude the entire process of Israel's liberation from Egypt in the first part of the book (Exod 1:1-14:31). The unit of Exod 15:22-18:27 not only shows blurred limits, it also has no clear structure. The uncertain limits and the inconsistent structure of the present form of Exod 15:22-18:27 point to a long formation of the wilderness material, which included divergent editions.
