| Summary: | Moshe ben Nahman (Nahmanides), developed his commentary on the Torah by interweaving principles from Jewish philosophy with aspects of biblical storytelling. This research focuses on Nahmanides? interpretation of the first six chapters of the Book of Exodus. Guided by Gérard Genette's theory of narratological frameworks, as outlined in Narrative Discourse: An Essay in Method (1969), this study identifies Nahmanides? understanding of literary structure, explores its relationship with fundamental philosophical principles, and considers the motivations behind his particular interpretative approach. |
