Exodus
(see also moses)

The Book of Exodus describes the central historical event for the Israelites-their salvation from slavery in Egypt. In addition to being the Creator of the entire universe and the One who had covenanted with Abraham's family, God emerges in Exodus as the Savior of the Israelites. He saved them from Egyptian slavery and in the process molded them into a nation, as He promised Abram in Gen. 12:1-3. Similar to a child, Israel was "born" as a nation in the Exodus, grew and developed in the wilderness, and reached adulthood in the Promised Land. The Book of Exodus records the origin of this nation and can be considered the foundational charter for Israel. 

. . . at the chosen time, God sent Moses and Aaron to confront Pharaoh, the Israelites' oppressor. The miraculous signs and plagues displayed in this dramatic encounter demonstrated God's power over the supposed gods of Egypt-especially Pharaoh, who claimed he was an incarnate deity. Since Pharaoh had attempted to destroy God's firstborn son (the people of Israel; see 4:22, 23), the Lord, in the tenth plague, destroyed the Egyptians' firstborn sons. But the Lord passed over or saved the firstborn sons of the Israelites because they were His people and had obeyed His instructions concerning the Passover Feast (ch. 12). With this tenth plague, the Lord saved His people from slavery. At the Red Sea, God saved them again-this time from the power of the Egyptian army (see 12:31-42; 13:17-15:21). The enslaved people were free! From:  The Second Book of Moses Called Exodus
