The Exodus type-scene typically includes the appearance of YHWH's dangerous fiery presence (Kabod Adonai), a communal setting, and divine action constituting or preserving Israel as a people in preparation for the Abrahamic inheritance. In Leviticus the theophanies augment the Exodus type-scene with a liturgical setting where a specific priestly action brings forth a theophanic response. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeLapp then shows how Numbers recontextualizes each of the preceding type-scenes as it retells the exodus narrative post-Sinai. When read synchronically the three type-scenes build on each other and follow the developing narrative logic of Israel's larger story. Deuteronomy then re-reads the Exodus type-scene (and indirectly the Genesis type-scene) to ensure that later readers read the theophanies appropriately (i.e., YHWH only appeared as “formless” and shrouded in “fire”).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e“Anyone interested in appearances of the divine or the arc of the theological narrative in the Pentateuch will find DeLapp’s work of value.” - \u003ci\u003eReligious Studies Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780567679079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"T\u0026T Clark","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40673532051662,"sku":"9780567679079","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_da6a4fd5-57c1-4f2f-8ec3-4c9eae6eb8f9.jpg?v=1639887176","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780567679079","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
