AB - This study aims to research Exodus 23:4-5, which ist regarded as crux interpretum on account of its differentiative style and contents within the literary context of Exodus 23:1-9. Comparing with Exodus 23:1-3 and 6-9, the verses 4-5 are of casuistic law und uses positive imperative forms. Besides, its content differs in so called enemy’s love (or overcoming of enmity) or animal protection On the contrary of this, its environments deal with only juristical issues. So, many scholarship separated vv.4-5 from the current unit of MT. The researcher tries to approach the literary unit Exodus 23:1-9, based on the methode of syntactical and structural analysis und to illuminate rhetorical dimension, as well, he re-constructs typical juristic setting in the text. This produces following conclusions: 1. in Exodus 23:1-9 a chiasm structure, the center of which ist merciful dealing with lost or overloaded lying animals(vv.4-5), is coming out, 2. the rhetorical orientation, which moves from simple apothetic style over persuasive casuistic style to apothedic style with strong appeals, 3. so-called syncopation effect: deliberative pause in vv. 4-5 for intentional stress on vv.6-9, 4. pointing out the animal protection(or love), which would lead to reconciliation between both hostile partners in spite of extreme inner situation. As a result, the writer suggests the animal protection as effective and active alternative for resolving the sin on opposite of the sacrificial animals. In conclusion, the writer takes a view that vv. 4-5 in quasi-legalistic language are a necessary part in the juristic context of Exodus 23:1-9 and demonstrates a super-juristical conciliation place, namely animal protection.
