Not only Exodus. The entire Bible, in all its versions (not just the MT), is primarily a book about God's relationship with Israel. Some parts of it use "historiography" as a tool to get that message across. Others use poetry. Others use wisdom. Whatever the authors thought was irrelevant to their objective - they left out. Their objective was NOT to teach us what WE think of as history. We should always keep that in mind.You and Jack can assert such things as many times as you like, but unless you provide evidence you are not going to convince people like Karl, or even myself who is already in partial agreement.
