The second edition of Understanding Exodus includes the author's revisions and corrections, enhancing the original work on Exodus 1-11. Edited by Jeffrey H. Tigay, this edition features a new foreword and an appendix titled "Questions for Uncovering the Message of a Biblical Text," which outlines Greenberg's exegesis methodology. This update not only clarifies the text but also enriches the reader's understanding of biblical interpretation.

The narrative explores the relationship between classical prophets and the spiritually receptive populace that supported them. While the people often resisted the prophets' strict demands and occasionally persecuted them, they generally allowed their teachings to flourish. This enduring connection, despite a lack of power and wealth, highlights the significance of the community's spiritual foundation, which nurtured the prophets' messages and preserved their legacies, emphasizing the importance of both the prophets and the society that sustained them.

Der Ezechielkommentar von Moshe Greenberg bietet eine tiefgehende Exegese des Ezechielbuchs, die die jüdische Auslegungstradition mit historisch-kritischer Analyse verbindet. Greenberg interpretiert den Text im Kontext des 6. Jahrhunderts und nutzt seine Expertise der hebräischen Sprache sowie mittelalterliche jüdische Kommentare.
