« Exodus Summary (KJV) »

Pray for God’s Wisdom and Understanding,
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

The Pentateuch, traditionally designated as the 5 books of Moses,
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.

2. Exodus, Chapters 1-40. The 2nd book of Moses.
The name means "going out" or "departure." While it refers to one of the important events of the book, the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, other highly significant events are also found here, such as the oppression of the Chosen People in Egypt, the flight and call of Moses, and God's covenant with the nation of Israel at Sinai--an experience climaxed by His giving of the moral law (Ten Commandments) through Moses to the people. A code of secular laws is also included, and the latter part of the book contains an elaborate description of the sacred Ark of the Covenant and its tent (tabernacle), God's place of dwelling among His people.

Thanking God, for teaching us his Word, In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
