Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:Exodus 19:3-6 summarises the whole of the Pentateuch in an excellent manner. None of the major elements of the Pentateuch are missing, while the passage does not overstep the boundaries' of the Pentateuch. This topical speech is structured in such a way that it calls God's people to put into effect their unique identity by living in accordance with the covenantal law, and this gives a special perspective to the Pentateuch as a whole. By putting this speech, with its special kerygmatic perspective, exactly at this point, the exilic/post-exilic redactor succeeded in giving new relevance to the old pentateuchal materials in a new age. He raises a voice of criticism against the exclusivism and legalism that were gaining a foothold in that age.
