Because of this he was forced to flee out of Egypt. After seeing God in a burning bush God told Moses to go rescue his people. So Moses returned to Egypt telling the Pharaoh to let God’s people go. God had hardened his heart however and he would not let them go. God sent ten terrible plagues to Egypt, each one worse than the last. The last one God killed all first born boys in the land excluding the Israelites. This led to the Passover celebrated every year for God passing over and saving their boys. Finally after Pharaoh’s son dying he let the Israelites go. Not for long though after they left he pursued them to the Red Sea. The Israelites were able to cross on dry ground, but as soon as the Egyptians went in they were thrown into chaos and the sea swallowed them up leaving not one Egyptian alive. The Israelites were saved. God sent ravens and manna from heaven and gave water from rocks to keep them alive. God also gave Moses the Ten Commandments and instructions on His temple while they were talking face to face on a mountain. God’s hand wrote the instructions on stone tablets and gave them to the Israelites. Moses, however smashed them in anger when the Israelites made a golden calf and sacrificed to and worshiped

In order to officially escape the Israelites out of Egypt, he needs God’s overpowering spirit to bring down destructive plagues on the vile Egyptians. At the final exit to freedom, Moses is at a dead-end, and only one man has the ability to help Moses split the waters, solely God himself.

    What does Exodus teach about the relationship of Moses and Israel? Exodus shows us a few examples of how Moses cared for his people.

Now of course this forces Moses to have to flee to Midian, but the point here is that it shows that even though Moses grew up an Egyptian Prince he still knew and cared for his real people. A little bit later while Moses is in Midian we get another example.

  • What Role Did Athens Play In Exodus

    Moses plays the largest role in Exodus, as he is the voice of God and the new influence to the Israelites. He is used largely to convey God's words to the people, and to present to them their covenant to follow in order to access the promised land. For Jewish believers in today's day and age, he is held in the most pious stance, and remembered every Passover and Sabbath, for he is the one that freed the Israelites and led them to this holy land. However, at the time, it took much convincing from his brother Aaron to ensure the Israelites that he was there to help them, not do them any harm as they had previously thought. He was chosen from birth as God's lead and had been promised the power to save the Israelites, confirmed to him when God

    The story of the Exodus is told in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, the last four of the five books of the Torah (also called the Pentateuch). It tells of the events that befell the Israelites following the death of Joseph, their departure from Egypt, and their wanderings in the wilderness, including the revelations at Sinai, up to their arrival at the borders of Canaan.
