Abstract :
This article examines the Hidden Until Revealed (HUR) technique in the book of Exodus whereby names and events are initially concealed but later disclosed. Analyzing three anonymously introduced characters and two covert events in Exodus 2, the study argues that the narrator strategically deploys the HUR technique to communicate Moses’ emotional upheaval amid shifting socio-political and ethnic identities, enhances tension in the context of Pharaoh’s oppression, and delves into Moses’ internal struggles with divine encounters.
