Volume 1 of the revised Expositor's Bible Commentary covers Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus, the books that establish creation, the fall, the covenant with Abraham, the deliverance from Egypt, the law at Sinai and the sacrificial system. John H. Sailhamer contributes the Genesis commentary, and the volume runs to over 800 pages.

The revised Expositor's Bible Commentary, edited by Tremper Longman III and David E. Garland, is a multi-contributor evangelical series keyed to the English text. Each section gives an overview, verse-by-verse commentary, and notes on the original languages kept separate so readers without Greek or Hebrew can use the volume comfortably. This volume suits pastors preaching the Pentateuch, teachers handling the foundational narratives, and readers who want substantial comment without a technical apparatus they cannot follow.
