Anonyme - L'Exode Et Le Lévitique - 1683

An extremely rare edition of this collection that offers a coherent and structured presentation of two fundamental books of the Old Testament, emphasizing both the historical narrative, the divine law, and their spiritual significance.

The work first traces the history of the Exodus, from the oppression of the Hebrew people in Egypt to their liberation under the leadership of Moses -

He describes the major stages of the departure, the plagues inflicted upon Egypt, the crossing of the Red Sea, and the march in the desert. He emphasizes the covenant made between God and Israel at Sinai. He outlines the giving of the Tables of the Law and the religious and social organization of the chosen people -

The second part devoted to Leviticus develops the ritual prescriptions, the priestly laws, and the purity rules that structure Israel's religious life. It explains the central role of the priests, the sacrifices, the festivals, and the expiatory rites. The work does not limit itself to a simple translation or paraphrase of the Bible -

He seeks to make the meaning of the commandments and religious institutions intelligible. He emphasizes the moral and spiritual dimension of the Mosaic law. He highlights the demand for holiness, obedience, and fidelity to God -
