This work explores the characterization of God in the book of Exodus using the methodological lenses of rhetorical and cognitive narratology. It builds upon previous similar studies by demonstrating that the book's implied author does not depict Yhwh's characterization uniformly. Rather, the author portrays a complex interrelationship between God, humanity, and creation by mapping that dynamic onto the character of Yhwh, human characters, and the narrative's settings. Yhwh's actions are predictably affected by both the characters with whom he relates and the settings in which they reside. These factors mutually contribute to which traits of Yhwh's character come to the fore at any given point in the narrative and influence his actions and responses. This rendering would resonate with the book's implied reader, whose agrarian epistemology emphasizes the embodied nature of human existence and its connection to place.The author reveals this complex characterization to the reader through a series of "moves" (מסע), or patterned journeys during which human characters travel from a "defiled-place" through a "liminal-place" before arriving at a "holy-place." In each move, the narrative portrays Yhwh interacting in distinctive ways with three character types: "in-group" characters who profess loyalty to him, "out-group" characters who reject his sovereignty through their ignorant and oppressive actions, and "fringe" characters whose lack of prior engagement with Yhwh makes their affiliation uncertain. In contrast with most outlines of Exodus's narrative structure, this study identifies three distinct moves in Exodus: (1) the "prototypical" move of Moses from Egypt to Horeb in Exod 1-4, (2) the "archetypal" move of the children of Israel from Egypt to Sinai in Exod 5-31, and (3) the "(a)typical" combination of Moses's move from the defiled camp to Sinai and the children of Israel's move from the defiled camp to the Tent of Appointment in Exod 32-40. By presenting three successive journeys that progressively build on prior themes or concepts, the author offers readers ample evidence to construct a nuanced understanding of God's characterization through the deity's varied interactions with other characters across a range of narrative settings.
