This volume explores the fascinating narrative structure and thematic elements of Matthew 8-9 which typologically present Jesus as the ‘New-Moses’ (and at points as greater than Moses) leading his people out of Exile. After offering a historical survey of modern scholarship on Mosaic typology in Matthew, the author presents a comprehensive survey of primary source literature as it pertains to Mosaic recollection in the ancient world. Particular attention is given to Moses’ ‘mighty deeds,’ as these contribute to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, and forms the basis for Israel’s future hopes. Matthew’s structural arrangement of material (both at the macro and micro level) clearly display Mosaic influence. Thematic links between Matthew 8-9 and the life of Moses also contribute to this typology, including 1) imagery used to refer to Israel’s final eschatological return from ‘Egyptian’ exile, 2) Jesus’ healing of conditions which find their antecedent in the Mosaic legal suit against Israel in Deut 28-30, and most significantly 3) Matthew’s explicit citation of Isa. 53, in which the Servant is predominantly, although not exhaustively, envisioned as a Mosaic figure. Matthew also draws on the memory of Moses at the Red Sea, yet goes beyond it in one significant regard, portraying Jesus as ‘greater than Moses.’ The intervening call narratives (scribe, tax collector, disciples), brings the proceeding material to a climax in that a reconstitution of the twelve tribes is recalled. The author concludes by exploring the possible rationale and motivation for Matthew’s typological association of Jesus with Moses. Table of Contents
