The Old Testament often presents Egypt as a place of bondage, but
the picture is not monolithic. Upon closer examination, one can
argue that many biblical figures flee to Egypt as a place of
refuge. Garrett Galvin examines biblical texts from a number of
different time periods (1 Kgs 11:14-12:24; Jeremiah 46; Matt
2:13-15, 19-21) in order to highlight the importance of literary
genre for understanding the phenomenon of Egypt as a place of
refuge in the Old Testament. For his study of Egypt the author
focuses on the broad sweep of ancient Near Eastern history through
literary, historical, and textual criticism of selected texts. His
aim in doing so is to draw the reader's attention to the complexity
of Egypt in the Bible and to help understanding the situation of
refugees in the Bible. He also highlights the evolving relationship
between Israel and Egypt as well as the influence of the ancient
Near East on Israel.
