It intends to honour MarcVervenne as an academic scholar, deeply engaged in the research of AncientHebrew literature. The book opens by the editors' presentation of MarcVervenne's scientific biography and bibliography. Thereafter, andagainstthe background of his own main interests in textual criticism, redactioncriticism and linguistic-grammatical research, predominantly on texts ofthe Pentateuch, this volume equally presents a selection of contributionsin those three domains. In admiration, respect and true friendship forMarc Vervenne, more than thirty colleagues from all over the world havecontributed to this volume.In the first part, 'The Pentateuch in Texts, Themes, andMethods', scholarsfocus on Pentateuch texts from a multiplicity of methods and perspectives: historical research, historical-critical exegesis, literary criticism, redaction-criticism, themes and theology, reception history and narrativecriticism. The second part, entitled 'Textual Criticism', deals withtext-critical approaches of the text, on the basis of different textualwitnesses with their own respective redaction and theology; it alsodiscusses the close relationship and methodological intertwinement oftextual and literary criticism in the current scholarly debate. In thethird and final part, several perspectives on 'Hebrew Language andLinguistics' are offered against the background of MarcVervenne'sinterest in grammar and linguistics.The title of this volume reflects his first love for the book of Exodus andespecially the Sea Narrative, which guided his whole career.The present volume is intended as a special present on the occasion ofProfessor Marc Vervenne's retirement from the Faculty of Theology oftheCatholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven).
