What is a Biblical Exegetical Paper?

According to the Ashland Theological Seminary Writing Handbook,

"An exegetical paper focuses analysis on a passage of Scripture (often called a pericope), using either English only or original language resources to draw out the meaning of the passage. An exegetical paper follows a specified method of analyzing the text in order to inform proper interpretation." pg.12-13

or another way to put it:

According to Elements of Biblical Exegesis: A Basic Guide for Students and Ministers:

"Biblical Exegesis may be defined as the careful historical, literary, and theological analysis and explanation of a text." *
