The major works of Josephus (c. 37-after 97 CE) are History of the Jewish War, from 170 BCE to his own time, and Jewish Antiquities, from creation to 66 CE. Also by him are an autobiographical Life and a treatise Against Apion. Josephus, soldier, statesman, historian, was a Jew born at Jerusalem about 37 CE. A man of high descent, he early became learned in Jewish law and Greek literature and was a Pharisee. After pleading in Rome the cause of some Jewish priests he returned to Jerusalem and in 66 tried to prevent revolt against Rome, managing for the Jews the affairs of Galilee. In the troubles which followed he made his peace with Vespasian. Present at the siege of Jerusalem by Titus, he received favours from these two as emperors and from Domitian and assumed their family name Flavius. He died after 97. As a historical source Josephus is invaluable. His major works are: History of the Jewish War, in seven books, from 170 BCE to his own time, first written in Aramaic but translated by himself into the Greek we now have; and Jewish Antiquities, in twenty books, from the creation of the world to 66 CE. The Loeb Classical Library edition of the works of Josephus also includes the autobiographical Life and his treatise Against Apion.

Le récit du passage de la mer Rouge au chapitre 14 de l'Exode reste bien connu. Peut-être l'est-il, d'ailleurs, parce qu'il est un des très rares textes bibliques mettant en scène une violence divine, qui a trouvé grâce aux yeux des censeurs liturgiques, contraints sans doute par la centralité irremplaçable de ce texte dans la Bible, mais aussi dans la symbolique de la résurrection. Car c'est bien un passage de la mort à la vie que cette page raconte. Ce moment où Yhwh brise les chaînes de son peuple, en le libérant non seulement de l'esclavage d'Egypte, mais aussi de sa complicité intérieure avec ses oppresseurs. Préfiguration de la résurrection de Jésus, mais aussi du baptême qui associe le croyant à la mort de son Seigneur pour qu'il participe à sa résurrection et soit une créature nouvelle, ce passage d'Exode a d'abord servi de matrice à la majorité des textes bibliques évoquant le salut offert par Dieu à son peuple.
