In Exodus 1-3; 7-12; 14; 19-20:21, Moses is the chosen one by God to save the Israelites by taking them out of Egypt. Moses was a Hebrew who was thrown in the Nile River in a basket as a baby and was named and saved by the Pharaoh’s daughter. The Israelites were multiplying and kept growing strong therefore, they became oppressed by the Egyptians with forced labor and selective birth. Moses received a sign by God that his mission was to save the Israelites. Moses does so by doing what God told him and his brother Aaron to do. Finally, the Israelites were set free and got ready for the third day when God appeared and told them the Ten Commandments and
Ramses the Pharaoh wouldn’t let the Israelites out of Egypt, so Moses stepped in and led the Israelites out of Egypt, which we know as the Exodus. If I were an Israelite, I would join Moses out of Egypt. I would do this because being a slave would mean being tortured. Moreover, Moses had powers from God, so it was save to be with him. He had the Ten Commandments, so people would know how to live their daily lives.
This first article is written from an Asian feminist perspective. It was written by a group of women to show the side of the Exodus story from a woman’s perspective. The first scene introduces Jochebed- Moses’ mother. The first scene involves Moses’ mother, Jochebed, Miriam, Susannah, Hannah, Shiprah and Puah, although Shiprah and Puah enter into the scene later on, they are Hebrew woman who are slaves to the Egyptians. Jochebed is pregnant and has just learned of the Pharaoh’s decree to kill all male Hebrew newborns. Jochebed is frightened because she believes that she is pregnant with a boy. Susannah, another mother tries to console Jochebed, but Jochebed is very worried. Jochebed’s husband Aaron had dropped bricks on his feet the other
God calls Moses to be the Israelites deliverer. This is a man who ran from Egypt because he killed an Egyptian and was content to spend his life as a shepherd. But God had different plans for Moses because the Lord uses the most imperfect people and empowers them to do his will. The Lord met with Moses and called him to deliver his people but Moses wanted to argue with God because Moses did not believe he was the right choice. Moses argued he was not the best choice because
Ancient Egypt had a strong and well-organized government for many reasons. Pharaohs are exemplary when it comes to representing a well-organized government. They are the top dogs of Egypt. These rulers had dynasties which ruled over Egypt, sort of like the Caracalla dynasty of Rome. There were over 30 dynasties in Egypt. An instance of a dynasty was king Ramesses the second. Additionally, there were rules to being a pharaoh and how these rulers are proclaimed. This shows well-organized government because it is preventing people from randomly declaring themselves pharaoh and keeps the citizen of Egypt in line. One rule, for example, is that a Pharaoh could have many wives, but only one could be the great wife. The great wife’s son would be the
The story starts with the Pharaoh being afraid that the Hebrews would become too strong because they were becoming greater in number. To solve this the Pharaoh enslaved them in order to avoid an uprising, and ordered that all Hebrew newborn sons be killed, “And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.” (King James Bible, Exodus 1:22). However, one Hebrew son, Moses, survived by being hidden and put in a basket in the Nile river. The basket was found by the Pharaoh’s daughter and the Hebrew son was found and brought up in the Pharaoh’s home and was named Moses. When Moses was an adult, he fled Egypt after murdering a slave driver. God appeared to Moses in the form of a burning bush, demanding the Moses lead His people out of Egypt. Moses obeyed God and led his people through the desert for forty years until they found the Promised
Exodus 15:1-21 contains two songs of praise aimed toward the God of the Israelites, and is just one example in the biblical texts of song being used as an instrument of worship; a form of worship that is seen regularly in the Psalms of David and in other areas of Bible. “In a nutshell, poetry and song are to prose speech what dancing is to walking. Walking gets you there, but dancing expresses the vivacity of spirit and style of soul.” The power of song is evident throughout the Scriptures, as detailed in the book of 2 Kings, “But get me a musician.’ And then, while the musician was playing, the power of the LORD came on him.” Music is often used as an expression of adoration toward Yahweh, and it highlights the importance of the exodus in the Israelite’s history by using the Songs of Miriam and Moses as a transitional piece in the Exodus
(Ben-Yehuda) Around 1307-c. the Israelites where enslaved again under the Ramses Pharaoh. Once again Jews longed for freedom to escape the antisemitism. Moses was born close to 1392 BCE and lived 120 years according to the Torah. He leads the Jewish people out of Egypt land to escape slavery. Based off the information from the Exodus book in the Old Testament there where around 6,000 men and with women and children close to 2 million people fleeting Egypt. It also says that soon into the Israelites escape the Pharaoh changed his mind on letting them leave and sent his army after them. (Moses Web) “The Israelites achieved a great victory at the Red Sea, which is said to have miraculously parted, allowing them to walk across safely and then swamping the pursuing Egyptian army.” (Moses Web) The Jews were free again from persecution. Moses became in-charge of the laws and this is where the Ten Commandments came from. By 1897 the Jewish people had created a movement called Zionism. Zionism is the belief that the Jewish people will one day have their own land called Israel. Theodor Herzl started this movement for the Jews to have a home where they were free form
There is biblical evidence that the story of exodus did happen. Moses was born of royalty of the Egyptians, that at the time enslaved the Hebrews. His brother Ramses, also royalty, tells Moses that he was born a slave and that he is a Hebrew. Exiled from his hometown, he goes on a journey and meets his wife and nine years later has a son. He gets a message from a burning bush(aka God).

Discuss the significance of the books of Exodus-Deuteronomy as they move the storyline from Genesis forward.
8. In Exodus 3:1-4:17, the ongoing dialogue between God and Moses for the deliverance commission is led by Moses’ five excuses. God comes to invite Moses to deliver God’s people. Moses’ resistances as knots of “buts” in the text will make the reader wonder “who God is and who Moses is” in order to understand of Moses’ commission.
Exodus created an identity for the Israelites through the form of Moses, which also defined the main relationship with their God. Through Moses, the Israelite people were eventually granted access to leave their bonds in Egypt and begin the journey to their promised land. However, God's covenant with the Israelites is extremely conditional. No other forces may be worshipped other than the true God, and everyone must follow the Ten Commandments, as well as trusting in Moses and his words. Those who did not follow directions were usually treated to a plague, widely seen throughout Exodus 7-12, when the Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites go during God's words via Moses. This continued on through the entire passage to the promised land.
Breaking news! A man named Moses just experienced a life change event. He claims that God came to him through a burning bush. Moses stated after this miraculous event to a reporter near Mount Horeb, “There was an angle in the distance coming from a flaming bush that was not being consumed.” He was astonished by this and decided that he must go over and experience this event.
The new pharaoh of Egypt grew wary of the ever growing number of Israelites. In order to stop any possible uprising, the pharaoh enslaved the Israelites, forcing them into “hard bondage, in mortar, and in brick” (Exodus 1:14). After enslaving the Israelites, the pharaoh decreed that all male children born to Israeli women were to be killed. Moses, a prince of Egypt and secretly an Israeli by birth, attempted to free the Israelites by talking to the pharaoh. After all attempts at negotiation fail, Moses leads the Israelites on a mass exodus from Egypt. Upon reaching the Red Sea, “Moses stretched out his hands over the sea… and the waters were divided” (Exodus 14:21) allowing the Israelites passage through the sea. The Egyptians pursue, and “the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea” (Exodus 14:27). Thus the Israelites escape bondage and destroy the superior Egyptian army. The Israelites move from being a weak nation, in servitude to the powerful Egyptians, to one that, with the help of God, evades and destroys the Egyptian army. God’s chosen people grow in strength and move towards occupying their own
The Law of Moses, or Moses’s Law refers to the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, sometimes call the Pentateuch, or Torah which is a central reference of Judaism. Of the covenants found in the Pentateuch are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
