AB - This study aims to analyze how the ideologies of ‘sex’, ‘race’ and ‘rule-resistance’ are presented in Exodus chapters 1-2 and what strategies the text uses to deliver each ideology to the readers. The analysis of the text has led to the following conclusions. Firstly, the detailed record of the pharaoh's order to kill the boys and the activity of the female roles shown in Moses' rescue is a literary device to make the appearance of ‘a man’ Moses dramatical. This is a textual strategy to convey the male-centered ideology that salvation is eventually achieved through men. Secondly, a direct contrast between the Hebrew and Egyptian women through the mouths of the midwives, the pharaoh's silence to the answers of the midwives, the death records of the Egyptians but not the Hebrews, and the connection to Moses' self-identity and God's covenant are all literary devices to show Hebrew superiority. Pharaoh and the Egyptians try to demonstrate wisdom and power, but their trial is collapsed through the text. Thirdly, the text shows the pharaoh’s ruling ideology, which is revealed in the name of protecting his own people. The ensuing narratives, however, justify the resistance and ostracism of the Hebrews, revealing that pharaoh's rule was unjustified violence. This analysis could contribute to a new understanding of the Bible text as a case study that investigates what literary strategies the Bible text uses to keep or convey certain ideologies.
