The exodus narrative illustrates the profound influence of social laws on biblical writers, particularly regarding redemption and loyalty. Professor Daube explores how the concept of a strong individual redeeming an enslaved relative shaped both Old and New Testament texts. This model is echoed in St. Paul's teachings about freedom from sin leading to servitude to righteousness. Additionally, the redemption theme is evident in various biblical stories, including Jacob's dealings with Laban and the Ark's encounter with the Philistines, highlighting its pervasive impact on scriptural narratives.
