Stem en tegenstem in Exodus 24 en 33 Translated title: Competing Voices in Exodus 24 and 33

Abstract

The book of Exodus is composed of elements originating from different traditions. In this article it is argued that it was not the aim of the composition concerned to harmonise those traditions, but rather to confront them. This position is demonstrated by an analysis of Exodus 24 and 33, where the central question is how man can contact God. Finally it is argued that different Old Testament traditions are recognisable in later Christian traditions.
