The Koren Illustrated Torah Tanakh of the Land of Israel Exodus Chumash Shemos

Description: The Koren Illustrated Torah Tanakh of the Land of Israel Exodus Chumash Shemos Koren Publishers The Koren Illustrated Torah Tanakh of the Land of Israel Exodus ( Shemos ) Large Coffee Table Size 12" x 9" The Koren Tanakh of the Land of Israel offers an innovative and refreshing approach to the Hebrew Bible. THE SUSAN & ROGER HERTOG EDITION OF EXODUS The Koren Tanakh of the Land of Israel offers an innovative and refreshing approach to the Hebrew Bible. By fusing extraordinary findings by modern scholars on the ancient Near East with the original Hebrew text and a brand new English translation by Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks, The Koren Tanakh of the Land of Israel clarifies and explains the Biblical narrative, laws, events and prophecies in context with the milieu in which it took place. The inaugural work in this multi-volume series is dedicated to the book of Shemot (Exodus). It features stunning visuals of ancient civilizations including artifacts, archeological excavations, inscriptions and maps, along with brief articles on Egyptology, geography, biblical botany, language, geography, and more. By showcasing material that was unknown to previous generations of Torah scholars, The Koren Tanakh of the Land of Israel opens a new view into the revolutionary impact of the Tanakh, published for the first time in English. A few of the many insights the authors bring include: • The story of the midwives Shifra and Puah mimic many practices Egyptian midwives did. Understanding these customs helps explain the Torah’s depiction of Shifra and Puah. • God tells Moshe that the ground he is on is holy ground and to remove his shoes. The concept of a space that is holy was common throughout the ancient Near East, where any place in which a god was believed to be present was deemed holy. When Moshe heard God’s description of the area as holy ground, he would have understood this to be an indication of God’s presence. • The Egyptian workweek was ten days long. Workers could then request time off to participate in a religious ritual or holiday. When the Jews asked Pharaoh for a three-day holiday, this made perfect sense to him. When it comes to the ten plagues, some have tried to show that they were far from miraculous and attempt to give scientific explanations for them. The editors show that each of the ten plagues was explicitly directed towards Pharaoh, and then the entire episode was explicitly directed to him based on his own set of beliefs. For example, the plague of darkness was particularly terrifying to the Egyptians. As the ancient Egyptian fear of chaos must be read into this plague. In the eyes of the ancient Egyptians, the fact that the Sun did not rise meant that the sun god failed to cross the Netherworld, and chaos prevailed. That would have been one of the most frightening and disturbing thoughts, and ancient Egyptian could have. Small coffee table size book.
