The Exodus and Ezekiel Parallel
Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2019 9:30 am
I wrote an article in the Journal of Higher Criticism (Vol 14:1 p.59) in which I showed how we can recover earlier drafts of Genesis-Exodus. One of the illustrations I used was the chart below. My premise that the Biblical writers copied text is if they were making Hebrew poetry. As they copied the text, the parallel that they formed was perfect when they formed it. The more parallel formation that occurs with a passage then the earlier parallels become malform. It is possible to create a logical order of construction by understanding how the parallels became malformed.
The table below allows us to see what Exodus and Ezekiel looked like at the time the parallel was formed. This is just one example that we can go back in time without discovering an ancient manuscript.
*Exodus passages aligned to Ezekiel passages.
