Every prophet favors certain traditions out of the many in Israel's lore. Isaiah made great use of the traditions about Zion and the Davidic king. Though Jeremiah cited the royal traditions, they were less important to him than the Exodus, which was the event that established the relationship between the Lord and the people. The traditions, it should be noted, do not exist as separate entities; they are related to one another as parts of a whole.[[posterous-content:pid___0]]
