exodus, Amos, Hosea, chosen people, covenant, salvific historyAbstract
There is a different view of the exodus in the prophetic books. The aim of the article is to verify the use of the exodus topos by the prophets, especially the significance of this event for their teaching. In the first part of the article the author examines the exodus motif in Amos and Hosea. Hosea develops the exodus theology existing the North Kingdom. Whereas for Hosea the exodus is the fundament of the identity of the chosen people, Amos distances himself from this idealizing lecture of exodus and announces the reversal of exodus as a punishment for Israel’s infidelity
