RT Article T1 Philology and Theory: Exodus 12:21-27 as a Case Study JF Vetus Testamentum VO 70 IS 3 SP 414 OP 425 A1 Gesundheit, Shimon 1961- LA English PB Brill YR 2020 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1726601838 AB Using Exod 12:21-27 as a case study, this paper shows how literary analysis can find itself subordinated to historical-critical theory. It will be argued that this practice is ill advised. An established reading of a text should never be dismissed when it is found to challenge accepted paradigms. It is, rather, the presumed historical and social settings that must be problematized.
