Endnote 2 – The Exodus of Abraham

See, for example, Midrash Genesis 40.6; Ramban; Robert Alter, Genesis (New York: Norton, 1997), p. 52; and Richard Elliott Friedman, Commentary on the Torah (San Francisco: HarperCollins, 2001), p. 53. For a treatment of Exodus imagery elsewhere in the biblical text, see David Daube, The Exodus Pattern in the Bible (London: Faber&Faber, 1963).
