Description
Summary:The task of writing a commentary on Exodus became more complex than it was in pre-modern times because of the upcoming con-sciousness of history as a kind of transcendentalism. Biblical scholarship answered with an increasing differentiation of exegetical methods to reconstruct the literary history of biblical books. The outcome was an increasing number of hypothetical reconstruc-tions of the literary historical diachrony of Exodus. To this de-velopment other biblical scholars reacted in their commentary by re­nouncing of any literary historical diachrony in favor of a synchronic interpretation of the given Hebrew text. We have commentaries on Exodus which differentiate between more than ten literary layers on the one side and commentaries which renounce of any historical diachrony in favor of interpreting the given text synchronically. It will be necessary to find methods of writing a commentary which combine both perspectives of diachrony and synchrony. At the moment we are standing just at the beginning to create such methods.
