Slavery in Egypt
1:1 to 12:51
Exodus is the story of an enslaved people. As part of their slavery, Isra’el was forced to build two of Egypt’s greatest cities, Pithom and Ra’amses (1:11). It was in this inhuman treatment of this nation of slaves that we find some of the factors compelling the LORD to bring them up out of Egypt. When we come to one of the great climaxes of Exodus, the miraculous deliverance though the Sea of Reeds, we will see how Pharaoh’s army was devastated by YHVH while Isra’el escaped. Egypt would never again have the power it once had.
