Exodus recounts the Israelites' journey out of Egypt from "summary" of Hebrew-English Torah by
The book of Exodus tells the story of the Israelites' departure from Egypt. After centuries of slavery, the Israelites cry out to God for deliverance from their oppressors. God hears their cries and sends Moses to lead them out of Egypt. Moses, after some hesitation, confronts Pharaoh with God's demand to release the Israelites. Pharaoh refuses, and God sends a series of plagues to persuade him to let the Israelites go. After the tenth and final plague, the death of the firstborn, Pharaoh finally relents and allows the Israelites to leave. The Israelites depart in haste, taking with them only what they can carry. God leads them through the wilderness with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. Pharaoh changes his mind and pursues them with his army, but God miraculously parts the Red Sea, allowing the Israelites to cross on dry land. When the Egyptians try to follow, the waters close over them, drowning Pharaoh and his army. The Israelites continue their journey through the wilderness, guided by God and sustained by manna from heaven. Along the way, they receive the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai and establish a covenant with God. Despite their grumbling and disobedience, God remains faithful to his promise to bring them to the land he has promised them. The book of Exodus is a powerful narrative of liberation and redemption, showing how God delivers his people from bondage and guides them to freedom. It is a story of faith, perseverance, and the enduring love of God for his chosen people.
