Reflection Of The Exodus And Exodus

I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to

As Moses grows he becomes aware of his lineage and takes notice to how oppressed his people are in Egypt. While leading a flock out on the side of a mountain the angel of Jehovah appears in a flame and a bush begins to burn. The bush does not erupt into ash and Moses is awestruck. God calls to Moses and begins to relay him his destiny. God says “I have surely seen the affliction of my people that are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows, and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians… and unto a land flowing with milk and honey”

He says that the Egyptians would mock the Israelites, laughing that their God would lead them out of their servitude only to face destruction at his own hands. Rather than respecting his power, they would see that he was either unable or unwilling to complete the salvation he set his people upon. And so the Lord agres to set aside his anger at the people, while Moses returns to them with God’s commandments.

Moses was a leader of the Hebrews and probably the most important figure in Judaism. He led the Hebrew people out of Egypt and into the Promise Land. His story is told in the book of Exodus, and begins when he was first born during the time that the pharaoh of Egypt declared that all male Hebrew babies were to be drowned at birth. Moses’ mother Yocheved, hid Moses and placed him in a basket in the reeds of the Nile River, where he was then found by the pharaoh’s daughter, who kept Moses and raised him as her own. In the story of Moses, he grows up and stumbles upon an Egyptian beating a Hebrew slave. Out of anger Moses murders the Egyptian, and flees to Midian to escape his crime (Hays, 2000). In Midian, Moses rests besides a well,

The Torah tells of how the Children of Israel were enslaved in Egypt by a Pharoah who feared them. After many generations of oppression, God speaks to an Israelite man named Moses and instructs him to go to Pharoah and let God's people go free. Pharoah refuses, and Moses, acting as God's messenger brings down a series of 10 plagues on Egypt.

Exodus is the second book of the Torah or Law. Its major themes are deliverance, redemption, salvation , and the holiness of God. The major characters are Moses, Aaron, Miriam, Pharoah, and Jethro. The major events are Israel’s bonage, the call of Moses, the plagues, Passover, parting of the Red Sea, the giving of the Law, and the building of the Tabernacle. God chose Mosses to lead the Israelites out of bondage in Egypt. God sent plagues of blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock death, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and death of the first born in Egypt. God manifested Himself through these plagues and compelled Pharoah to release His chosen people. The twelth chapter reveals the Passover Lamb that saved the Israelite people by the blood

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.

Moses’s sister was a servant at pharaohs place to watch and protect him and got caught. They were both questioned by the king, queen and ramses if he knew that the servant was his sister. In all honesty moses didn't know until right before the dispute. As brother and sister they gave them the answer the king wanted to hear. They left and went to where they came from. Later on moses helped a group of sisters and their goats and were invited to a dinner by the girls’ father. Moses ended up marrying one of the girls and had a baby boy with her. They named the boy gershom. When the boy was nine years old moses decided to fight after building a hebrew army against the egyptian army with their king ramses. Moses left his family to go build an army. The army ended up having hundreds of men who were also willing to leave their families to help moses beat ramses and his army of

He was a member of the Egyptian Court until the time he was exiled for the killing of another Court official. Moses’ life was full of different events that would lead to his future destination. On one occasion Moses's brother, a Hebrew was in a heated conflict with an Egyptian. Moses could not contain himself and intervenes in the midst of the conflict between his brother and the Egyptian, and in his brother's defense, Moses killed the Egyptian. Moses thought that no one had seen him kill the Egyptian and therefore did not worry much about the incident further. In another event Moses encounters a fight going on between two Hebrew men. Moses interrupts the fight, to ask the men, “Why are you fighting?” Moses was surprised by one of the men's reply, “Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” When Moses heard the man say that, he became fearful of his life because he knew then that there were witnesses to the murder of the Egyptian that he had not previously known. Moses tries to get back to life as normal. As Moses is trying to live life with one eye open and fearing for his life, he hears that Pharaoh is out to kill him. Moses then decides to run from Pharaoh and leaves out for the land of

In the beginning of Exodus, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians for many years which caused many of them to loose hope in the Lord. They were wondering when the Lord would deliver them into the promised land. They could not see God’s love. Just like the song says, “People killin', people dyin'. Children hurt and you hear them cryin'.” The Israelites were enslaved and suffering under the Pharaoh’s rule. As a result, they started praying to God they He could free them from the hands of Egyptians.

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

Exodus is the story of Moses going into Egypt and asking the Pharaoh to let the Israelites (God’s people) go; however, as God expected the Pharaoh does not give in right away which causes God to bring forth the plagues. Exodus Chapter 8 tells the story of three of the ten plagues cast upon the Pharaoh and the Egyptians in an effort to force the Pharaoh to let God’s people be free from the Pharaoh. Moses is told by God to tell Aaron to stretch out his hands and staff over the streams, canals, and pools which brings the frogs to the land of Egypt. Eventually Moses convinces God to stop, but the frogs died in the land and left behind a stench so the Pharaoh refused to talk with them. Aaron then strikes the ground with his staff, as God told Moses, and gnats swarm the land of Egypt and when the Magicians failed to

Moses had an older brother, Aaron and older sister, Miriam. After his birth, his parents hid him for three months until they could no longer do so. The mother prepared an ark, laid him in it and left it in the reeds by the Nile riverbank (Gregory, pg. 45). The sister stood a far to watch what would happen to him and as Pharaoh 's daughter came down to bathe; she saw the child and took him as her own. Then without her knowledge, she had Jochebed brought in to nurse the baby. Therefore, Moses grows in the royal family and acquires wisdom in Egyptian ways, commanding armies and leading in victorious battle. As he grows, Moses sympathizes with his fellow Israelites after witnessing the harsh conditions they are forced to live and work and refuses to be regarded as Pharaoh’s daughter. Rather, he chooses to suffer affliction with his people until he notices an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, whom he murders and escapes upon discovery to Midian. It is here where his journey to save the Israelites from bondage begins. The promise of

It starts off with Egypt 's tyrannical Pharaoh, who orders all newborn males to be killed. A woman (who is Moses ' mother), saves her baby by placing him in the Nile river. Soon after, Pharaoh’s daughter finds this baby and brings him up in the house of Pharaoh. Moses knows about his Hebrew roots and one day, kills an Egyptian who is physically abusing an Israelite. He then flees to a town called Midian. He meets a priest and marries his daughter. He then begins his new married life as a shepherd. God speaks to Moses in the form of a burning bush. He tells Moses to go back to Egypt in order to lead the Hebrews to the land promised to Abraham. After Moses returns to Egypt, he tries to convince the Pharaoh to release the Israelites, but to no avail. He performs miracles, such as transforming his staff into a snake, but Pharaoh is not impressed. God then afflicts Egypt with ten plagues. Prior to each plague, Moses asks Pharaoh to release the Israelites, but Pharaoh denies each time. The final plague results in the killing of all firstborn males. In the end, Pharaoh releases more than half a million Israelites. Moses tells his people to celebrate this day, the Passover, as this was the day they were liberated by God from slavery. Moses then takes

The Hebrews broke the law but Moses obeyed God and once again pled for their forgiveness. God lead the Hebrews away from Pharaoh’s enslavement even though the Hebrews disobeyed His commands from time to time. The story demonstrates the progress and difficulties the Hebrew slaves encountered while transforming into a nation. Several actions occurred, showing God worked to direct his people out of enslavement and into an existence of fortune and devotion. Several phases occurred in the process of making a nation, including the actions of Moses’ devotion; of the Hebrews running for their lives; promises between God and the Hebrews; and obedience. God chose Moses as a leader for the Hebrews through all phases from beginning to end. God tested the Israelites because He knew they were sinners but they were His chosen people and testing them aided in growth of their faith and obedience.
