The Exodus from Egypt is the climax of Israel's prehistory as related in the Pentateuch. It may be subjected to two types of historical inquiry, the one focusing on Israel's national history, the other on the history of her traditions. The work concentrates on the second type of inquiry. In a comprehensive literary analysis, the narrative in the book of Exodus is compared not only with its parallels throughout the Bible, but also with the later, post-Biblical accounts found in the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha and in the Hellenistic and Midrashic literatures.

The papers in this volume were selected with a view to grant a brief but conclusive survey of the author's work as an educator and psychotherapist. Eliezer Ilan, influenced by the British object-relation theorists, lay emphasis in the pathogenicity of early pre-Oedipal object-relations and the need for their correction in therapy. The therapeutic educator's or therapist's primary task is to function as abenign parental agency, which should finally be internalized and supersede themalign? archaic object relations. The first part of the book deals with theoretical considerations. The second contains clinical case material resulting from therapeutic practice, and the third part is devoted to contributions in the field of psychoanalytical-oriented education. The last part reflects the author's interest in applied psychoanalysis and creativity.

This study describes the contribution of the British Administration to the development of Palestine between 11917-1929. It deals with the relation between a new modern government and changes in the landscape. The special character of the British Administration in Palestine helped to create a new state in the Middle East, a modern state with a geographic "iconography" that reflected British taste and input. This view differs from other works on the British in Palestine which deal mainly with the political history of the area rather than its historical geography.

This volume offers a fresh analysis of a central problem of comparative Ugaritic-Biblical scholarship: the relationship between biblical psalms and Canaanite literature. A critical survey summarises the various stages of comparative scholarship over fifty years. There follow the two principal parts of the book: the first concerns Hebrew psalms with affinities to Ugaritic literature, and the second Ugaritic psalms and prayers with affinities to Hebrew literature. A detailed analysis of the form, structure, themes and motifs of biblical texts, and a scrutiny of their verses, cola, phrases and vocabulary against the background of ancient Near East literature lead to the thesis that there is no justification for assuming that Canaanite psalms are found in the Bible, or that biblical literature and Ugaritic literature should be considered a single entity. It is alleged that affinities may be elucidated based on common thematic, linguistic and stylistic elements.
