The main object of this book is to deal with Hebrew-Egyptian relations from the linguistic aspect, and many passages and allusions in the Joseph and Exodus narratives of a distinctly Egyptian coloring have been excluded. The volume contains two sections: the first deals with the Joseph and Exodus narratives, the second with the Genesis stories and a portion of the Patriarchal narratives. Also found within is a table of abbreviations, periods of Egyptian language, and the Egyptian alphabet and the phonetic equivalents in Hebrew.
