Exodus gives us reason to trust God in difficult times.

Exodus teaches us what we should expect from God. He saves, but God does things in his own way, in his own time, and for his own glory. From Exodus we come to understand that God is actively involved in history. This event was called the Exodus.Įxodus reveals the God who saves his people. This deliverer was named Moses, and Moses was given the task of leading his people out of Egypt to the promised land, the land of Canaan. The book of Exodus records the history of Israel’s enslavement to Pharaoh and their freedom through a deliverer that God raised up.

Though scholars speculate and debate, there is no good reason to deny that Moses wrote the book. Tradition holds that Moses wrote the book of Exodus. Exodus comes from a Greek word meaning “exit” or “departure.” The Exodus happened around either 1240 or 1440 BC.
