Author: Moses
Time Span: Approximately 431 years (the time from the arrival of Jacob in Egypt to the construction of the tabernacle in the desert)
Title: The word exodus means “exit” or “departure.”
Background: The second book of the Pentateuch, Exodus, continues the story after the book of Genesis. Only 70 descendants of Jacob have journeyed to Egypt, but after increasing abundantly in number, they become oppressed as slaves to Egyptian leaders who do not remember Joseph (Jacob’s son). During the next four centuries, the people grew to a nation of some three million before their exodus from Egypt began.
Where written: The general belief is that Moses received this revelation on Mount Sinai in the wilderness.
To Whom: To the Israelites.
Content: Exodus begins with the descendants of Jacob living in slavery to the Egyptians. God calls and directs Moses to lead the Israelites out of this bondage. Israel is finally permitted to leave Egypt after God directs Moses to pronounce a series of plagues on Egypt and the pharaoh. The Passover is instituted, emphasizing that blood redemption is always necessary (Ch. 12), and the resulting covenant between God and the Israelites identifies them as God’s chosen people. God then delivers Israel miraculously through the Red Sea. At Mount Sinai, God gives the Ten Commandments but later must judge the people for their apostasy and worship of the golden calf (ch. 32). A few months after, the tabernacle is constructed.
Key Words: “Deliverance”; “Redemption”; “Commandments.”
The “deliverance” of the people of Israel from their oppression as enslaved people is just one of the many miraculous acts performed by God for the complete “redemption” of His chosen people. The Ten “Commandments” and other laws instruct the people to live as God desires.
Themes: • God’s protection and provision are available to His children in times of need. • Obedience to the Word of God brings prosperity and blessings. Disobedience brings failure and punishment. • Part of our covenant agreement with God is trusting and obeying Him for His deliverance and salvation. • God’s promises can be depended on totally and uncompromisingly.
