Exodus

I have decided to continue examining all 24 books in this summary format. I want to identify those chapters that stand out because they do not have the dominant as tenor. Then ask why? In Exodus, the dominant is dominant and there are a few chapters with the e as tenor. The tonic e is the second most frequent as tenor in the prose books.

Who knows what else might turn up? No one has done any such analysis before as far as I am aware.
Note that every book in its own pdf is available from this post.
