Abstract
L'A. etudie dans cette premiere partie de son travail le rapport entre des textes bibliques en prose et un materiau poetique plus ancien en prenant plus particulierement comme exemples un passage du livre de Josue (10,12-14) et un autre du livre de l'Exode (14,1-15,18). La version poetique de la narration est plus ancienne que la forme en prose, cette derniere interpretant et transformant l'ancienne forme en fonction de themes theologiques precis et la developpant d'une maniere ressemblant au procede midrashique.
