The Exodus

The Exodus is important because is pretty much the foundation of the Judaism belief. You have the foundation of Israel, the leadership of Moses, the revelations of Sinai, among others.

The readings of Exodus explain the departure of the Israelites from Egypt and how the covenant was renewed. The rejuvenation made Israel a nation and formed a relationship between god and his teachings. The nature of god’s presence reveals how the Israelites were authentic and productive with how they reproduced and how the land became filled with Israelites. The reality demonstrates how the new king of Egypt stated that, “The Israelite people have multiplied and become more numerous than we are”(Exodus p. 16). This reality proposes how the Egyptians became resentful against the Israelites in order them to suffer brutal slavery and make life difficult for them with intense work and punishment. The texts in Exodus acknowledge the sacrifices Hebrew women had to make in order to live through nature and reality. It states “The Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women. They are robust and give birth before the midwife arrives” (Exodus p. 16). Gods presence through nature and reality reveals how

Israel is a country in Western Asia, situated at the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It shares land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories comprising the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, Egypt to the southwest,

Israel’s geography was important to the Israelites in ancient times because it helped them with their daily needs. Israel is located next to the Dead Sea, which is the lowest point on earth below sea level. Back in ancient times, the area where most people lived was in the land of Canaan. The land of Canaan is located west of Mesopotamia and between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. The Jordan River separated the Israelites from the other people. Indeed, this was an important aspect at the time since it gave them water for their daily needs. The Jezreel Valley is another important land feature

The Old Testament mentions, in Genesis and Exodus, the details concerning the history of the Israelites. There is, however, no recorded historical evidence written by the Egyptians or the Greeks that confirm the existence of a large population of Israelites, from 1875

Moses was an incredibly important figure through both a spiritual and a historical lens. He led a massive migration – that of the entire Hebrew nation – to a new land. This brought about the conquering of many smaller civilizations, as well as the spread of Egyptian influence and the development of a unique Jewish culture. As prominent as Moses is in the course of world history, he is even more prominent in the area of spirituality. For a deeper understanding of Moses’ importance, it would be wise to examine his early life, mid-life, and the end of his life.

“According to P, Moses divided the sea by the rod and Israel walked through on dry land, the waters being a wall to their right and left. When Israel got to the other side, Moses raised his hand and the walls of water crashed in on the Egyptian army, wiping them out. According to J, Yahweh the storm-god drove back the sea long enough for Israel to cross in the night and then the sea returned to its wonted flow in the morning.”

Two different variables add essentialness to the locale. In the first place, the fundamental exchange course of the old world was on the beach front plain. It entered the plain through ago in Mount Carmel and proceeded through the limited spot between the seaside swamps and the Shephelah at Gezer. In this way, the beach front plain was to the place where there is Israel what the Panama Canal is to North America, maybe significantly more so. Second, a few

Because Exodus is story where in many instances words have symbolic meanings, I tried to find out what the word Sinai means, and what I found is the following: Sinai is a name for both, a) a wilderness area and the mountain at which the people of Israel made a covenant with God. b) It has also been used to refer to the peninsula lying between Egypt and Palestine. Mt. Sinai is called Horeb in many of the biblical traditions, particularly in

Crucial to this foundational framework, is the book of Exodus and the story of how God fulfills His promise made to Abraham. Throughout Exodus, God displays His powers as the one true God, and exploits the powerlessness of the gods of Egypt. Near the end of Genesis we find Abrahams descendants thriving in the land of Egypt, after Jacobs rule as second in command to Pharaoh. However, in the aftermath of Jacobs passing, we are thrusted forward through an unknown gape of time, in which “a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done (NLT, Exodus 1:8).” Under this new rule, the people of Israel lose their standing in Egypt. Up until this point, the Israelites have flourished, and have done as

Israel has five major geographical regions, which consist of the Mediterranean coastal plain, the central and northern highlands, the Plain of Esdraelon, the Great Rift Valley, and the Negev. The Mediterranean Coastal Plain extends along the entire Israeli coast, which is also, where two thirds of Israel’s population lives. The central and northern highlands consist of a chain of hills and mountains where Israel’s largest city Jerusalem resides. “Located in the north Galilean highlands Mount Meron is the highest point in Israel at 3963 feet.” (Britannica) The Plain of Esdraelon is the area to the lowland passage between the Mediterranean Coastal areas and the Jordan River Valley. The Great Rift Valley extends from southern Africa to Lebanon. The Negev is a southern Desert region that contains over fifty percent of the total area Israel. Water is a precious commodity is Israel, with its main source coming from the Jordan River, which is the world’s

As stated above Exodus was written during the pre-exilic times for the people of Israel. This type of environment could account for some of the ways in which the story of Exodus is told. God wants to help the Jewish people escape the clutches of Egypt, “Then the Lord said, ‘I have observed the misery of my people who are in Egypt; I have heard their cry on account of their taskmasters. Indeed, I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them from the Egyptians.” (Exodus, 3:7-8). God is foreshadowing what he will do, in terms of violence, to free
