Summary

The Book of Exodus, or Shemot, is the second book of the Jewish Tanakh and of the Christian Bible. Said to be written by Moses, Exodus chronicles the Israelites' dramatic liberation from slavery in Egypt under Moses' leadership, detailing God's call to Moses through the burning bush, the ten plagues that compelled Pharaoh to release the Israelites, and the miraculous parting of the Red Sea. The book also describes the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, their covenant with God at Mount Sinai, and the giving of the Ten Commandments, which establish moral and religious laws central to Judeo-Christian faith. Exodus emphasizes themes of divine deliverance, faith, obedience, and God’s ongoing presence with His people, symbolized by the tabernacle. It is a powerful narrative of redemption, setting the stage for the rest of biblical history and shaping theological concepts of salvation and covenant in both Judaism and Christianity.
