Exodus Introduction (Part 1)

ExodusSteve Gregg
The book of Exodus, traditionally believed to be written by Moses, is important in establishing the nation of Israel and is linked organically to Genesis as a continuation of the narrative. Exodus covers the affliction and release of the Israelites from Egypt, their wandering in the desert, and the giving of the Ten Commandments and law at Sinai. Although lacking archaeological proof, there is historical evidence of foreign slaves and workers in Egypt, the involvement of Israelites in building projects, and evidence for rapid population growth. The exact date and identity of the Pharaoh during the Exodus are widely debated among scholars.
