Exodus 1-2 tells of the oppression of the Hebrews in Egypt and the
birth of the future savior Moses. Christian and Jewish interpreters
in late antiquity interpreted this text from their own specific
perspective, as part of their religious community. They approach
the text with partly common, partly different prerequisites,
hermeneutics and methods. The religious practice and teaching of
one's own religious community are always in the background. This
shows processes of reception as well as rejection and demarcation.
The Christian interpretation of the Scriptures in particular
reveals polemics against Judaism that have continued through the
centuries. Nevertheless, there are also numerous points of contact
and common motifs that keep recurring - alongside specifically
Jewish and Christian traditions. In this way, a multifaceted
picture of the biblical text emerges in the patristic and
rabbinical interpretation.
