520 |a While the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament includes a number of fantastical stories, none is as formative for the Jewish people as that described in Exodus 19-24, where YHWH, under cover of cloud and heralded by thunder, lightning, and a startling, deafening fanfare, marked out the Israelites as ‘a priestly kingdom and a holy nation’ (Exod. 19:6 NRSV), and spoke the Ten Commandments to Moses. The narrative of Exodus 19-24 is complex and presents conundrums not easily resolved using a purely historical-critical methodology. This had led some scholars, Jewish and Christian alike, to query the historicity of the Sinai event, or at least to remain cautious about how much can really be known about it. And yet the Sinai event remains foundational for both Judaism and Christianity: when taken at face value, Exodus 19-24 witnesses to a definitive instance of divine self-revelation and self-communication. In short, at Sinai, YHWH acted, says the text, at a particular location, at a particular time. But scholarly agnosticism towards the Sinai event’s occurrence suggests that these chapters constitute a myth rather than an account of an actual, experienced incident.
