Exodus

40 chapters · 1,213 verses · Moses · ~1400 BC

Two million slaves walk out of the most powerful empire on earth — through a sea, into a desert, toward a mountain where God Himself will speak. This is the rescue mission that defines all of Scripture.

Overview

Exodus tells how God heard the cry of His enslaved people and dismantled an empire to free them. From the burning bush to the parting of the Red Sea to the thunder of Sinai, this book defines what it means to be delivered. The Ten Commandments, the tabernacle, and the golden calf all happen here.
