Description
Summary:Taking its point of departure in the expression of Yahweh's self-understanding as presented in the story of Moses at the burning bush, the first part of the lecture takes up the theme of representations of Yahweh and the narrator's presentation of Yahweh in the stories of the golden calf, the quail and the sending of the spies to the Valley of Eshkol in Exodus and Numbers.
