elsewhere. How ironic. Pharaoh
\—) had offered Moshe the same deal
— let your males leave but we
want your families and your pos-
sessions to remain behind. The
deal that Moshe flatly refused
was joyously proposed by a later
generation.
So the land was lost and the
people were sent into the Baby-
lonian exile.
The biblical vision of the bond
between land and people was
about to end.
But not quite. Whoever edited
the final version of the Hebrew
Bible chose carefully its last
words. True, the people had for-
feited the land, but God remained
loyal to the divine covenant. A
new ruler was to rise. Unlike
Pharaoh, this ruler was to facili-
tate the return of the Jewish peo-
ple to their land. And so the Bible
ends with the decree of Cyrus:
"The Lord your God be with you
and go up (to the land)." The last
words of the last biblical book en-
hances the theme already found
in the last words of the first five
books. DI
