Exodus: Exodus By Moses A Descendent Of Abraham

Through the Old Testament we begin to understand and learn that Exodus is a book written by Moses a descendent of Abraham. Exodus paints the reader a picture and describes a chain of successions and Gods requests and responses from his people. Approximately, four hundred years had passed since Joseph made the profound decision to pick up his life and move his family to Egypt. Every one of Abraham’s descendants had matured and grown immensely becoming essentially over two million strong. In Egypt there was a new pharaoh ruling, one in which believed the Hebrews to be foreigners with numbers tremendously frightening. The pharaoh decided to take all of the Hebrew people and force them into slavery, hence they wouldn’t upset his balance of power.

All boys born were to be killed, however, a Hebrew boy by the name of Moses was born and wrapped delicately in a woven basket and set in to the Nile River, only to be found by the daughter of the pharaoh. Moses later was able to become a prince in the Pharaoh’s palace for many years until he observes the beating of a Hebrew by an Egyptian taskmaster whom he kills.

Accumulating and moving the mass of God’s civilization was not an easy task, however, they marched out of Egypt, through the depths of the Red Sea, and into the desert, all behind the lead of Moses, destroying the pharaoh in the

Sinai for forty days and forty nights. God gave Moses tools and guidelines for the Israel people. However the Hebrew people of Israel were becoming impatient and began disobeying the laws God created. God became enraged and Moses begged the lord to forgive the people. Because of Moses’s cries God gives the people a chance to change their wrongful choices. However they finally remembered where they began, as the slaves in Egypt, ending carrying the tabernacle they had built for god. Exodus is an excited story of God’s guidance that begins in gloom and ends in
