摘要
Exodus 18 is the last chapter of the wilderness section in the book of Exodus. Very often its commentators focus on harmonic, positive, and affirmative elements of the narrative in Exodus 18. This article deals with proposed harmonic readings of Exodus 18, but also seriously examines possible motifs of conflict or tension. The conclusion of the author is that the narrative does present harmony. However, this harmony is reached after real or potential conflicts are solved or avoided. An attempt is made to understand this narrative of resolved tensions in Exodus 18 in the context of theology in the book of Exodus.
