“Thus framed the first narrative lacuna, the first release of communal tears, in this storied journey is that the oppressive Pharaoh did not know Joseph. What it is about Joseph that this Pharaoh—only the latest in a succession of Pharaohs within the political institution—did not know is unclear and unstated. But far as epistemological amnesia screams for narrative and interpretive attention. His amnesia is corrosive to the communal and interpret of existence of the Hebrews. And it is from that abyss that the exodus-motif begins to birth Exodus-story.”
