| "Perhaps it is this other side, the underside of the liberation shekel,
that ought to give us in the West the most to ponder in reading the story of God’s
salvation in Exodus. This God of Exodus, who saves the oppressed, is the God who judges
the oppressor who will not let go." |

"Law and Narrative in Exodus 19-24," Joe M Sprinkle,
The Journal of the Evangelical Theological
Society, 2004.
| "Without denying the usefulness of
attempts to systemize biblical regulations, this paper stresses the need
to read the laws contextually within their narrative and legal-literary
frameworks and vice versa." |

"Kol:
Thunder, Shofar and the Voice of God: Drama at Mount Sinai," Jewish
Heritage Online Monthly.
| "The
people paradoxically "see" the sound; the experience is so
intense and mysterious that it cannot be described by the ordinary
language of the senses. And in awe and terror, the people step back." |
