Authorship, setting, and audience

Traditionally linked with Moses, Exodus continues the Torah by moving from promise remembered to redemption enacted. It is set in Israel's oppression under Pharaoh, the wilderness journey, and the covenant life that begins at Sinai. It teaches God's people how redemption, worship, holiness, and obedience belong together.

How the book moves

The book moves from bondage and deliverance through Sinai revelation and ends with the tabernacle as the sign of God's presence among his redeemed people.

Why this book matters
