'''Exodus''' [Hebrew:'''שמות'''] chronicles the deliverance of the Jewish people out of the [[slavery]] of [[Egypt]] led by their most revered ancestor, [[Moses]] through the work of [[God]]. The story of the [[ten plagues]] associated with this deliverance are well known.  The celebration of [[Passover]] commemorates this occasion. Exodus goes on to record the [[The Ten Commandments]] as given to Moses by God on [[Mount Sinai]] and the stubbornness of the Jewish people against Moses and God.  The book also discusses [[The Tabernacle]] and many of the laws and customs for the Israelites to live by as God will lead them into the promised land chosen for them.

'''Exodus''' [Hebrew:'''שמות'''] chronicles the bondage, oppression and [[slavery]] of the Jewish people in [[Egypt]] after [[Joseph]] dies and a new pharaoh comes to power whom did not know Joseph before. [[Moses]], whom God uses to guide the Jewish peoples out of Israel, enters Egypt to warn pharaoh to let his people go, but pharaoh refuses. Moses therefore, with God's power, releases 10 plagues over the Egyptians, and after the death of his son, pharaoh finally allows the Jewish people to leave Egypt under Moses. As Moses and his people are leaving, pharaoh changes his mind and commands that the Jewish people be pursued with the army of Egypt, however God opens up the [[Red Sea]] for Moses, allowing the Jewish people to flee, and pharaohs army is destroyed in the Red Sea after the Jewish people escape from it. Moses then delivers God's laws to the Jewish people, including the [[Ten Commandments]], as well as giving them the [[Tabernacle]], priest and worship instructions.

 

Exodus is part of the [[Torah]] (otherwise known as the [[Pentateuch]]) and is the second book of the [[Bible]] in the [[Old Testament]].  As part of the first five books of the Bible, it is traditionally attributed authorship to [[Moses]].
