In his pathbreaking Israel in Egypt James K. Hoffmeier sought to
refute the claims of scholars who doubt the historical accuracy of
the biblical account of the Israelite sojourn in Egypt. Analyzing a
wealth of textual, archaeological, and geographical evidence, he
put forth a thorough defense of the biblical tradition. Hoffmeier
now turns his attention to the Wilderness narratives of Exodus,
Leviticus, and Numbers. As director of the North Sinai
Archaeological Project, Hoffmeier has led several excavations that
have uncovered important new evidence supporting the Wilderness
narratives, including a major New Kingdom fort at Tell el-Borg that
was occupied during the Israelite exodus. Hoffmeier employs these
archaeological findings to shed new light on the route of the
exodus from Egypt. He also investigates the location of Mount
Sinai, and offers a rebuttal to those who have sought to locate it
in northern Arabia and not in the Sinai peninsula as traditionally
thought. Hoffmeier addresses how and when the Israelites could have
lived in Sinai, as well as whether it would have been possible for
Moses to write down the law received at Mount Sinai. Building on
the new evidence for the Israelite sojourn in Egypt, Hoffmeier
explores the Egyptian influence on the Wilderness tradition. For
example, he finds Egyptian elements in Israelite religious
practices, including the use of the tabernacle, and points to a
significant number of Egyptian personal names among the generation
of the exodus. The origin of Israel is a subject of much debate and
the wilderness tradition has been marginalized by those who
challenge its credibility. In Ancient Israel in Sinai, Hoffmeier
brings the Wilderness traditionto the forefront and makes a case
for its authenticity based on solid evidence and intelligent
analysis.
