EXODUS (2nd Book of Moses)
Exodus provides historical record of Israel's

deliverance from Egypt (13:3),

return to Promised Land (13:5, 8)

and groundwork for God's plan of salvation.

This EXITING from the grip of Egypt and false religion (34:12-15) is attended by several significant factors.
God, “I AM,”

Sent Moses to deliver them (3:14),

Give them the Law (13:9) and

the Feasts (12:14).

He Protected them from their Enemies (14:20);

Entrusted them with the Covenant (19:5);

Delivered them from Egyptian Bondage (20:1-2);

Gave them the Sacrifices (20:24),

the Tabernacle (25:8)

and the Priesthood (28:1).

He Revealed to them His Word and His Will (31:18), and

He Demonstrated His Miraculous Power (32:11).
Foreshadow of Salvation (Ro. 15:4; 1 Co. 10:1-14).
