Summary of Exodus
40 chapters ● 102 min ● 1800-1445 BCE
The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. It tells the story of the Israelites, who were descended from Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and their slavery in Egypt. The book begins with the story of Moses, who was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of slavery. With the help of Aaron, his brother, and various miracles, Moses confronts Pharaoh, the ruler of Egypt, and demands that he release the Israelites. Pharaoh refuses, and God sends ten plagues upon the Egyptians to persuade Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. Eventually, Pharaoh agrees, and the Israelites leave Egypt in a mass exodus known as the "Exodus."The book also includes the story of the Ten Commandments, which were given to the Israelites by God at Mount Sinai. These commandments include instructions on how to worship God, how to treat others, and how to live a righteous life.
