Central to the work is a literary study of Exodus 19:4-6 and a demonstration of the pivotal role these verses and their main image have within Exodus. This elective and honorific designation of Yahweh's cherished people has a particular focus on the privilege of access to him in his heavenly temple. The paradigm of the royal grant of privileged status has profound implications for our understanding of the Sinai covenant.Journal for the study of the Old Testament.Supplement series ;395.People of GodBiblical teachingPriesthood, UniversalCovenant theologyBiblical teachingElectronic books.People of GodBiblical teaching.Priesthood, Universal.Covenant theologyBiblical teaching.222.12066Davies John A346010MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453095903321A royal priesthood2115783UNINA
