The Exodus's Exodus : The Story Of Exodus

After Joseph died the new Egyptian pharaoh began to realize that the Israelite population was on the rise and oppressed them by making them slaves. As a result of being slaves and beginning to populate Egypt the Egyptians decided to kill all the firstborn Israelite male babies. The only one to escape this massacre was Moses who’s mother put him in a basket and put him in the water. He was then found by Pharaoh’s daughter and she saved him and treated him as if he was her own son. As a result of the event of having been enslaved and having their male children killed the Israelites cried out to God and he heard them.

There are many similarities between Bob Marley’s songs and the Biblical book of Exodus. Bob Marley’s songs “Exodus” and “Africa Unite” connect his tribulations and dissatisfaction with his life with the Biblical book of Exodus while his seemingly aloneness and his tribulations throughout his life seem to connect with Moses. The Biblical book of Exodus begins more than 400 years after Joseph; his brothers and the pharaoh he once served have all died. Egypt is under a new leadership that is threatened by Jacobs’s descendants. The new leaders embark on a crusade to subjugate the Israelites, forcing them into slavery and eventually declaring that all Hebrew boys must be killed at birth in the Nile River. However, there was one Hebrew mother

So when Joseph came to them, they took off his beautiful robe and they threw him in an empty well. Then they sold him to people that were going to Egypt. The brothers took the robe and dipped it in animal’s blood and brought it to their father. They told Jacob that an animal killed him. Jacob was really upset. Joseph was now in Egypt working as a slave. He was Potiphar’s helper and made him mandated of everything he owned. Then the Pharaoh sent him to jail. After some time in jail a cupbearer and a baker’s Pharaoh had a dream that he was going to get out of jail soon. Joseph told them to tell the Pharaoh about him but the cupbearer forgot. Two years later the Pharaoh had a dream, but nobody could understand it. Then the cupbearer remembered what Joseph did for him, and Joseph was brought to Pharaoh. Joseph explained him and the Pharaoh believed all that he told him, and put him in charge of all the land of Egypt. People came from all over to buy grain from Joseph, including Joseph's brothers. When his brothers came, Joseph was able to recognize them, but they did not. Joseph told them that he was their brother and even thought they were afraid Joseph was not mad at them because he knew that God had a better plan for him. After it his entire family moved to Egypt

It is at this time that God reveals himself to him in the presence of a “Burning Bush” at Mount Horeb (Sinai) as it is well known. This is when Moses is told that he was needed to go back to Egypt and free his people from slavery, Moses was shaken and he even refused several times causing God to become angry at him but, and still God beckoned him to do this task. Finally Moses agreed, but Moses was worried as to how he would be able to accomplish such and enormous task. That is when God told him not to worry because he would be with him the entire way. Moses still had one big question for God and that is “ Who is he that he could go to the Pharaoh and tell him to let my people go” and God responded “that we has his messenger and that he was to lead his children out of Egypt and out of Slavery” and that “ He would be with him always”.

The Pharaoh demanded that all the Hebrew baby boys be put to death (thrown in the Nile). I think the person telling this story is possibly Moses's sister because it explains that “his sister stood at a distance, to see what would happen to him”. This is how she could tell the story because I feel as if she was always keeping an eye on him. In the story, Moses is found by the Pharaoh’s daughter, who decided to find him a nurse and keep him as her own (her son) when she grew up. I feel like the Pharaoh would find out that Moses is not her child and be killed. I think the purpose of this story is to show hope and love even in the worst of times.

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.

Moses grew up in royalty, but was disliked by the Pharaoh, the egyptians, and even his own people. While he tried to be nice, his people were bitter and had once even said “‘Who made you a price and a judge over us?’”(110) His people may have hated him, but they had no idea his intentions. So the hatred from the Israelites pushed him to leave Egypt and meet God.

The interesting aspect of this story, however, is that the servant is Miriam the prophet, Moses’ sister. Miriam, later translated into Mary (Bible Hub n.pag.), ensured the safe keeping of Moses by watching his descent down the Nile and by suggesting the wet nurse be his actual mother (unknown to the pharaoh’s daughter), Jochebed (NRSV, Exodus 2:7-2:8). The same qualities that we see in Puah reflected in Miriam, though Miriam is never said to marry or bear children. Without the rebellion of both the daughter of Pharaoh and Miriam, the exodus would not have occurred, making both just as vital to his ability to succeed as

The moment had arrived, after 40 years of wondering throughout the Sinai wilderness the Jewish People were ready to enter into the Land of Israel. In his final speech, Moses the only man to see God “face to face”, the man who had carried the burdens of an entire nation for 40 years as a faithful shepherd was nearing the end of his days. They would cross the might Jordan River, but he by divine decree would remain on the other side to be buried in an unmarked grave in Moab by the Almighty himself.

Stemming from Exodus, it continues the journey of the Israelites as they continue to go to the Promised Land. The Israelites repeatedly complain about how they had been better off in Egypt, where they had meat and other such foods. They also complain about the massive size of enemies in the Promised Land and, despite knowing how powerful God is, complain once again. They are sent back into the desert where the generation that had defied God died off. Because of their rebelliousness, the curse of generations is put into effect. Once the old generation dies off, excluding the obedient, they complain just as their ancestors

This passage can be seen as a biographical narrative. This is because the passage gives the birth legend of Moses and starts off discussing Moses’s birth and how a he as a Hebrew came to live in the palace of Pharaoh. Something that is more prominent is the so called underdog theme. The

Moses was born in Egypt to Amram and Yochebed. He came about in this world in a period where the Israelites were a threat to the Egyptians. The Pharaoh of the Egyptians ordered that the first born sons of the Israelites were to be killed. One of these first born was Moses, and the parents put him in a basket to float him down a river. Moses drifted down to some noble women. The women did not know he was a firstborn of the Israelites, so they took him on as one of their own. Moses grew up part of the Pharaoh's family. As he was growing up, he knew the right from the wrong, he was taught to treat people with respect. Also when he grew up he saw the Israelites get abused. He tried to stop that but could not. Moses left because he did not want

In the stories of the patriarchs, the patriarchs took matters into their own hands instead of waiting patiently for God. In Exodus, the major sin seems to be grumbling from lack of trust. This may be just human nature because as individuals I suspect we are more likely to take matters into our own hands while as members of a corporate group, we are probably more likely to grumble. As someone else noted in a post, the Hebrews were also part of the slave class so they may have also felt powerless to do anything. The other interesting difference was that when Abraham was told to leave, he left for an unknown destination without any conversation. When God called Moses, Moses knew what he was being called to do and really wanted nothing to

The following is not a biblical story, but one I find applicable in my walk with God and community with humanity. It is the story about the kid walking the beach and throwing starfish back into the ocean. Someone asked why are you doing this when there are so many more than you can help? The response is that helping that one was important for that one. The following Psalms are supportive of the idea that I have a responsibility to share God to those around me. I can use Psalms to show the progression from creation to attitude and hope while also sharing the story of Christ. Most important to me is the ability to share through my actions that lead to conversations. These three Psalms give me a base to work from as I mature into the adult I hope to become.

Known as the Hebrew child Pharaoh’s daughter rescued; he was different, and therefore, developed an interest in his biological roots. Consequently, as an adult, the plight of the Hebrew people disturbed him, and he wondered what he could do.
