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. 410 0$aJournal for the study of the Old Testament.$pSupplement series ;$v395. 606 $aPeople of God$xBiblical teaching 606 $aPriesthood, Universal 606 $aCovenant theology$xBiblical teaching 615 0$aPeople of God$xBiblical teaching. 615 0$aPriesthood, Universal. 615 0$aCovenant theology$xBiblical teaching. 676 $a222.12066 700 $aDavies$b John A$0346010 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782497603321 996 $aA royal priesthood$93767177 997 $aUNINA
