520 $a References to Egypt are twice as dense in the Pentateuch as elsewhere in the Hebrew Bible. This dissertation explored and analyzed the ideological significance of the references to Egypt in the Pentateuch within the historical context of the production of the Pentateuch's final text form.
520 $a The concept of "mental map" from human geography was employed to suggest that these references to Egypt constitute an intra-textual symbolic map that informs the reader of the ideological intent of the producers of the text. A detailed examination of the rhetoric and ambiguities of the Pentateuchal texts which mention Egypt showed that Egypt functions ideologically in the Pentateuch as the primary "other" over against which Israel's identity is constructed. With the concept of ethnogenesis, the Pentateuch was interpreted as manifesting an ethnohistorical consciousness oriented towards the mythic past and ritually represented in the present so as to create a sense of belonging within the boundaries of Israel and a sense of unique difference across the boundary, especially with Egypt.
520 $a The equivocal perspective of the Pentateuch on Egypt indicated that the Pentateuch was produced as a contestatory document, promoting an anti-Egyptian stance while attempting to incorporate and subordinate alternate pro-Egyptian views. The Pentateuch was discovered to ideologically configure Egypt's role in Israel's genesis as a subsidiary and superseded stage in a greater superimposed master origin narrative that begins in Mesopotamia.
520 $a The Pentateuch's ideology regarding Egypt's role in Israel's genesis was historically contextualized within the period of the production of the Pentateuch's final text form, which, it was argued, is most plausibly located within the Persian period. This ideology was attributed to a Persian loyalist elite in Yehud in the context of the Persian empire's troubles with Egypt.
