Korzec, Stanisław2026-05-142026-05-142026"The Biblical Annals", 2026, Vol. 16, nr 2, s. 199-2202451-2168https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12153/9603Contemporary studies of the Book of Exodus accord significant importance to the theme of Israel, the people of God, being emancipated from a state of ‘service to Pharaoh’ to ‘service to God’. However, our understanding of this is underdetermined. Many see it merely as a pretext for the exodus; others link the idea of ‘service to God’ with worship. A literary analysis of the places in Exodus that feature the theme of ‘service’ makes it possible not only to confirm the relevance of ‘service to God’ to the book as a whole but also to define it outside its usual cultic context as the ‘life’ of God’s people.enAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ExodusserviceliberationPharaohworshipinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article10.31743/ba.17727
