The Second Book of Moses, Called Exodus, is a story of transition, and an exploration of God's powers. It tells of how God led the people of Israel out of bondage and into freedom. It challenges the reader to see if they are willing to make sacrifices and put all their faith into God in order to live a pure life.
The book begins with a new king of Egypt who feels that there are too many people of Israel. He says ""Come on, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight out against us, and so get them up out of the land"" (Exodus 1:10). The Pharaoh then makes the Hebrew people slaves, and to stop them from multiplying even more, he orders that every son born be thrown into the river.
There was a woman who had a young boy though, and after hiding him for three months, she decides to put him in a basket, and into the river in hope that something good may become of him. Her daughter observes, and he is taken in by the Pharaoh's wife. She decides to call him Moses and raises him in their palace. But, when Moses grows into a young man, he must flee his home after killing an Egyptian. He then goes to live in the land of Midian. It is there that he starts a family, and finally begins to live his life. .
When the Pharaoh dies, the children of Israel are stuck in slavery, and they cry to God for help. The Lord says, ""I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry ; and I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians"" (Exodus 3:7-8). The Lord then sends Moses back to Egypt to confront the new Pharaoh. .
Although Moses is scared, he delivers God's message and says, ""Let my people go"" (Exodus 5:1). The Pharaoh does not believe that the Hebrew God is more powerful though. To show him that God is in fact more powerful, Moses turns his rod into a serpent, but the Pharaoh's magicians do the same so God is forced to do more powerful things.
