The Exagoge is a drama on the theme of the Jewish Exodus, written
in Greek in the form of a Greek tragedy by a Jew living in
Alexandria probably at some time during the second century BC. It
survives in 269 lines - not isolated verses but forming several
continuous passages - enough to give the shape of the play and to
reveal Ezekiel as a tragedian of significance. For the student of
Jewish literary history and thought Ezekiel is a most important
source, of interest for being one of the earliest examples of
Jewish exegesis and paraphrase of the Bible. Professor Jacobson
accompanies the text of the play with a translation. In the
commentary he examines the fragments line by line, comparing them
with the biblical account and other accounts in related Jewish
sources. The substantial and readable introduction examines the
historical, social and intellectual background to Ezekiel and the
Exagoge.
