Hamilton demonstrates clearly the use of Exodus language in the New Testament see example below which makes it easier for the reader to see how the themes presented fit into biblical theology the arc of Scripture as a whole. I read this while reading Carol Meyers' commentary on Exodus; Hamilton's contains much more information about the text, translation, and other scholars' works than does Meyers'. I highly recommend this work. Hamilton divides the book into seven parts, with a few paragraphs introducing each part.
Each pericope within in each part is outlined. He begins with a Translation, then Grammatical and Lexical Notes on each verse. This includes descriptions of the Hebrew words and a brief study on where else they are found and translated in the Hebrew Bible, how others have translated them, and the Hamilton's own open-ended questions. Then there is an expositional commentary. Some of the commentary gets a bit shorter toward the end of the book.
