God in Exodus and in the end of Genesis is proven to adhere to his word. His promise to Abraham was that if the covenant is obeyed, Abraham’s descendants will outnumber the stars and will have the land of Canaan.

The Pharaoh does not believe them, so He enacts the ten plagues on the people of Egypt, with his final plague killing the firstborn of every household.

Through both the Old and New Testaments, the strongest characters with the most compelling narratives feature, such as Moses, an archetypal redemption storyline throughout their development. These redemption arcs throughout the bible demonstrate how, in order to become a good person, one does not need to be without flaw or sin. Instead, being a good person is being able to overcome and repent from one’s actions and adopt a moral lifestyle. In Exodus, Moses “[kills] and Egyptian and [hides] him in the sand”, and upon discovering that his actions were not secret, “Moses fled from [Egypt] and went to live in Midian” (Exodus 2:12, 15). Despite being an outcast from his homeland as well as a criminal, God chooses Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Abraham is considered the father of the Israelite people, because he made a covenant with God stating that Abraham shall be the father of a multitude of nations, and that Abraham and his descendants after him shall keep this everlasting covenant alive. Another important person was Moses, who renewed God’s covenant with the Israelites and was given the Ten Commandments through God. The Ten Commandments is a set of laws that God gave to Moses. The laws stress religion and moral codes, such as “You shall not Steal.” Supposedly, a famine forced many of the Israelites out of their “promised land,”

Moses was self-conscious with his freedom in which he wanted to set free his people from not only slavery but from their limits of thinking. Hence, Moses wanted to free his people in order to create active participants for his community in which they themselves would assist one another to promote the welfare of their community. Since the Israelites were slaves by nature, the only form of thought they processed were the orders given to them by the Pharaoh and the Egyptians. Throughout the entire Book of Exodus, the process of liberating the Israelites goes beyond their imprisonment from the Pharaoh. In essence, the Israelites were slaves by nature because they were bounded by their limits of thinking.

The people who were still doing what was right in their own eyes angered God who chose and called Moses, yet Moses fought with God for a while before he allowed God to use him and he chose to follow God’s ways, and in return God helped Moses lead the Israelites out of slavery all the while showing the people that they should believe in and serve Yahweh. The people were shown His mighty ways for example, when the ten plagues were brought upon Egypt and the sparing of the firstborn of the Israelites, how God led them by the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night to escape the Egyptians, or how God used Moses and his staff to part the Red Sea, so they could walk through on dry ground, or how God caused the water to collapse on the Egyptian armies that were pursuing them. Even after God saved the people from the Egyptians they soon overlooked the signs and turned back to their sinful ways, so God sent Moses up to Mount Sinai, where God gave him the ten commandments which became the law the people were to follow to know the difference between right and wrong. There are seven generations between Moses and

Chapter 22 – Moses In this chapter the author starts out by giving us an overview of the situation that the Israelites found themselves in Egypt. I appreciate the fact that the author writes about how they kept themselves a distinct race, although they were in a different country with different customs and religion they did not unite them with these people in worship. I agree with the author that the Lord had plans to safe Israel but Satan had plans to derail these plans, The Lord had a divine plan for one of the babies to be born unto Israel, he had to deliver his people from Egypt. This made me think of the promise God made to Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as
