There is no exposition, nor (in the Tanhuma midrashim) any homily, to *Exodus 11:1. The assumption is justified that Shemot Rabbah down to Exodus 12:1, with which section the Mekhilta begins, is based on an earlier exegetical midrash, perhaps constituting the continuation of Bereshit Rabbah. This would explain the fact that in Exodus Rabbah I ...
The Mekhilta begins with Exodus 12, this being the first legal section found in Exodus. That this is the beginning is shown by the Nathan ben Jehiel and the Seder Tannaim v'Amoraim . [ 22 ] In like manner, Nissim ben Jacob proves in his Mafteach to Shab . 106b that the conclusion of the Mekhilta which he knew corresponded with that of the ...

Alnaqua mentions also among the sources which he used "Huppat Eliyahu Zutta ve-Rabbah," which were evidently merely parts of the same work. From them were probably derived the two extracts in paragraphs 201 and 247 of the Menorat ha-Ma'or of Isaac Aboab, which are cited as occurring in the "Huppat Eliyahu Rabbah" and the "Huppat Eliyahu Zutta ...

There are many different recensions of Midrash Tanhuma, although the main ones are the standard printed edition, first published in Constantinople in 1520/1522 (and then again in Venice in 1545 and Mantua in 1563), and the Buber recension, [5] published by Salomon Buber in 1885 based on the manuscript MS Oxford Neubauer 154 for the base text as well as four other Oxford manuscripts.

Derekh Eretz Rabbah (Hebrew: דרך ארץ רבה) "Derekh Eretz" literally means "the way of the world," which in this context refers to deportment, manners and behavior. Derekh Eretz Zuta (Hebrew: דרך ארץ זוטא) Addressed to scholars, this is a collection of maxims urging self-examination and modesty.
These legends must be very old, since the same or similar stories are found as early as Josephus; [2] specifically, the stories of the wise men's prophecy to the king of a birth of a child who some day will destroy the power of the Egyptians (in the midrash the interpretation of a dream replaces the prophecy; compare also Targ. Yer. 1 to Exodus 1:15), upon which prophecy followed the command ...
