4. Buber and Rosenzweig link Genesis 1:2:4 to the directions given for the construction of desert sanctuary in the closing chapters of Exodus. Moses' ‘avenging’ attack on the Egyptian taskmaster appears to presage legislation concerning assault of a slave in Exodus 22:22. The peculiar starting point of the Covenantal Code (Exod 21-23)—laws dealing with the limits and termination of servitude—would seem to be a reflex of the exodus narrative.
