Exodus from Egypt
At the end of Genesis, Israel and his family had moved to Egypt seeking relief from a famine. That family stayed and grew to 2-3 million people. In Genesis 15, God promised Abraham he would be the father of a great nation, and they would have their own land. Now four centuries later, it was time. A Hebrew boy, Moses, miraculously survived babyhood to become God’s chosen, but reluctant, leader for his people. For your convenience – Bible online
