1956. I am eight (Friedman is 10). New York City, the Criterion Theater. The first movie my parents take me to without my younger brothers. And the same scene Friedman remembers, I remember.Friedman makes his case. Just as he has before, he does not claim his evidence and arguments are conclusive. He does argue and he does show that certain things are possible and certain things are more (or less) likely. Using the convergence of textual and archaeological evidence, long advocated by Bill Dever, he makes a compelling argument that "the" exodus occurred, that it was small and that it had intimate links to Egyptian culture and religion.In thinking about how the story came to us in its current form, I would have liked a discussion of the Hyksos probably contribution to the story's content (I am convinced that the Hyksos provide the militaristic aspects of the story and, possibly, the water crossing). And I would also have liked to hear his thinking on the relationship of the Mosaic group to the Ahkenaten revolutionaries (personally, I am convinced that the man Moses was one of Ahkenaten's minions). Note that Levites-as-Ahkenaten-follower does impact the chronology....In sum, yet another worthwhile read from Prof. Friedman.

I loved the author’s earlier work, Who Wrote the Bible?, and had hopes for this one, which I read with a very Jewishly knowledgable book group. I was a bit disappointed this time around. The key propositions and themes of the book can be presented in fairly short order. They are intriguing, and provide a fascinating if necessarily speculative hypothesis on the identity of the Hebrews in Egypt, the limited number and specific identity of those involved in an exodus different from that described in the Biblical account, the possible influences of Egyptian and Midianite thought in the development of monotheism, the joining of the Levites to the Israelite tribes in Canaan, and the close relationship of the Exodus as a motivating element in subsequent Jewish attitudes toward the stranger or alien. What is distinctive about Friedman’s approach is his effort to join together and synthesize recent scholarship in biblical criticism with the results of contemporary archeological findings (and sometimes the absence of findings) in Israel and the surrounding region. I think this is a worthy effort and one that suggests plausible ways forward in understanding the Exodus story.So why not five stars? The book struck me as overly padded and repetitive iin a number of respects. The author is exceedingly self-referential. While there is a pretty extensive scholarly apparatus in the endnotes, I’m not sure the author presents and responds to the strongest arguments against his own positions, although he does present and acknowledge the contributions of other scholars in the field, particularly his own teachers. This may be a consequence of trying to present an accessible account that is more a popular than a scholarly book, but nonetheless is built on an edifice of scholarship.I found the book’s final chapter on the meaning of “neighbor” to be the least well developed and persuasive.

Friedman's book essentially asserts that the core moment of the Exodus Event is the Deity handing Moses the 10 Commandments, Friedman, like so many modern scholars, reminds the reader, that there was most likely NO Exodus event as described in the Bible.Though surprisingly, none of the Scholars really examine how short the distance is from Egypt to Mount Sinai and how doable it is with a small hiking group in a matter of a two months or so. Not a scholar seems to know that people every year hike the 2000 mile hike of the Appalachian Trail starting in Georgia in March and finishing in October at Mount Katonah, Maine. Most hikers, hiking at about 20-25 miles a day, so a trek of some 1000 people to Sinai is certainly doable. And not a scholar even seem aware of Xenophon's "Anabasis."But to Friedman, the central event is the Deity handing Moses the Tablets of the 10 Commandments and that these are central to live, to existence. I suppose, while the question appears facetious (Martians handing Moses the 10 Commandments--then it would be science fiction) the 10 Commandments as central to existence is not. There is always something offensive to dismiss Biblical accounts as so much fiction, to deny the Exodus Event seems to strike at the very notion of Judaism itself. The equivalent of saying the Crucifixion never happened thus striking at the soul of Christianity.Friedman wears his scholarship lightly but packs a great deal of information into a small book.

Friedman makes a balanced and compelling argument, combining the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with his creative twist--the Levites represent the group that migrated from Egypt. He effectively shows how one can argue for a historical exodus using contemporary scholarship; he rightly observes the embellishment in the biblical story but sees an authentic historical core. The Levite groups merged with other tribal groups. I like his parallel of the very ancient Song of Miriam (Exodus 15), from the Levite group, with the Song of Deborah, which mentions Israelite tribes but not the Levites, as evidence. I'm not as convinced of his arguments for the early development of Israelite monotheism. His final chapter makes a strong contemporary application of the Exodus story and biblical traditions arising from it to promote positive, enduring religious values for a better society.The book is written in a very conversational tone, easily accessible. Strongly recommended.
