SBL Study Bible, NRSV Comparisons: NRSVue vs. 4th NOAB vs. NISB, (plus Robert Alter Commentary) 

I think you hit the nail on the head: the SBL comments are rather lifeless. They should've done cross references in the margins so they can focus more on STUDY notes. Thanks for the comment!!

Oxford, HarperCollins are always secular.

You got it! Thank you!

Great Bibles, all of them! Of course, I've been a NOAB fan since 1998!

Thanks! I enjoyed making the video!

I Did a review of the Berkeley version Bible sometime ago. You can go back into my channel and look for it.

I'd have to double-check the fifth edition, but the third and fourth editions of the New Oxford Annotated Bible say the following about the historicity of the Exodus: *That some Exodus took place is a responsible inference, given the persistence of the Exodus tradition in the Bible and its presence in the earliest biblical poetry (notably Ex 15), and some smaller details, such as the Egyptian names of Moses, Aaron, and Phinehas. The event must have involved fewer people than the exaggerated biblical numbers (see Ex 12.37) indicate, and may have constituted little more than the escape of a relatively small group of Hebrews from forced labor in the eastern Nile delta, most likely in the thirteenth century Bce. Given the lack of historical data it is impossible to say more.* (p. 510 in the "Essays" section of the 3rd ed.; p. 2239 in the 4th ed.) This essay was written by Michael D. Coogan, the current editor of the NOAB. Maybe it's far more skeptical than you would like, but it's also not an utter rejection of the Exodus or Moses. The NOAB's introduction to Exodus is a little more skeptical, but it still remains agnostic at worst on these matters. The SBL Study Bible, on the other hand, insists in the introduction to Exodus that Moses is a literary creation based on Sargon of Akkad and states, "There never was an exodus as described in the Bible." That's the difference between the NOAB and the SBLSB in a nutshell. (And if you get an edition of the Oxford Annotated Bible from 1962 to 1991, you'll find that the notes outright state that Moses was a real person. The scholars didn't start hedging on the matter until the third edition in 2001.)

@@MAMoreno Quran actually hints that Exodus was of only few people. It is a historically 100% accurate book. Previous editions of NOAB and HarperBibles were much less secular in outlook, now academic Bibles are much worse in this regard. I am a Muslim, but I dont buy secular Bible claims.
