Let's keep learning about the other Books of Law in the Old Testament.
We already learned about Genesis, next up is Exodus.
The word Exodus is Greek, and it means "Going out".
It is all about God's people the Hebrews and how the escaped slavery from Egypt with God's help.
The main person in Exodus is Moses.
The book tells of his birth and how as a baby he floated down the river
and was found by the Queen of Egypt to be raised as his own.
Then when he became older he fled Egypt and spoke to God in the burning bush
He returned to Egypt and demanded the Pharaoh let the Hebrews go.
When they didn't, God punished Egypt, sending things called plagues.
Then finally the Hebrews were free and they fled Egypt, but the Pharaoh tried to get them back.
When they chased Moses and the Hebrews, God parted the Red Sea for the Hebrews, but let it flood and drown the people chasing them.
Finally the Hebrews were free, and God gave Moses the Ten Commandments as rules to live by.
