Analyzing the Teaching of Labor in Exodus

<p><strong>This paper examines the teaching of labor in the Exodus story in the Bible</strong> exploring the connection between a narrative of oppression liberation and ethical labor. It examines the biblical text to draw out the lessons on labor embedded in the larger narrative and assess their implications for contemporary socio-economic issues. The analysis reveals a dichotomy of labor that runs through the Exodus narrative operating between the pre-liberation and post-liberation as well as between different perspectives on labor. <em>The paper then discusses the implications of these teachings to modern-day labor practices.</em></p>
