Exodus
Exodus details God's powerful deliverance of Israel from Egyptian bondage and His formation of a covenant community through the Law given at Sinai. It features the ten plagues, the parting of the Red Sea, and the giving of the Ten Commandments, laying the foundation of Israel's national identity. This book is vital for understanding God's justice, mercy, presence, and the concept of redemption.
Author: Moses – Prophet and Deliverer of Israel
Moses, as the central figure in the events of Exodus, is traditionally understood to be the book’s author. His firsthand experience with Pharaoh, the miracles of deliverance, and the reception of the Law at Sinai uniquely position him to document this pivotal moment in Israel’s history. The text reflects Moses’s intimate relationship with God and his role as mediator of the covenant.
