Here, as Greifenhagen shows, Egypt functions ideologically as the primary ""other"" over against which Israel's identity is constructed, while its role in Israel's formation appears as subsidiary and as a superseded stage in a master narrative which locates Israel's ethnic roots in Mesopotamia. But the presentation of this powerful neighbour is equivocal: a dominant anti-Egyptian stance coexists witThe Library of Hebrew Bible/Old Testament StudiesEgypt in the BibleElectronic books.Egypt in the Bible.222.106Greifenhagen F.
