Back to Basics - The Book of Exodus
The second book of Moses records the exodus of over 2 million Jewish slaves from Egypt which was the most highly developed civilization and the most secure super-power at the time of Israel’s great escape led by Moses, a former prince of Egypt. This book is Moses’ second in the Pentateuch. The greatest man in the O.T. not only founded a nation but he also wrote Scripture – these 5 books provided the foundation for the entire Bible. His first book Genesis, the book of beginnings was a compilation, a gathering together of material passed down to him from man’s original beginning when he was created by God. This second book begins with Moses’ origin and his miraculous rescue from the river Nile by the Pharaoh’s daughter.
