WORDS FROM THE EXODUS

by Isaac Asimov

Pub Date: Feb. 25th, 1963
ISBN: 0395065704
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin

It is hard to imagine this book being used by itself but it makes a perfect companion volume for the young reader attempting the Bible on his own. It follows the same approach as the author's Words In Genesis and covers the books of the Exodus. Asimov unerringly plucks out the odd, the difficult, the "lost-in-translation" words and makes the discovery of their meaning as exciting as the events they are used to describe.
