Exodus - Jim Hastings - Bog

The book of Exodus was written by the author of Genesis, Moses. Although this book focuses on the departure of the nation of Israel from bondage in Egypt, it begins with a short synopsis of the original participants of that nation who first arrived in Egypt 2281 years after the creation of Adam. The eventual bondage of the nation is addressed followed by the birth of Moses, the author of this book. He was born 2631 years after the creation of Adam; 80 years later, in 2711, he led the children of Israel out of Egypt and into the wilderness where they would remain for 40 years. However, the books of Genesis and Exodus were completed by the second year in the wilderness; therefore, the book of Exodus ends 2713 years after the creation of Adam. Before this book ends, this freed nation will have a leader, a law, a place of worship, a priesthood and an army prepared to take possession of the land promised to them by the LORD since the days of Abraham. This book is laid out in the same order as your Bible for easy searching. For example, if you are looking for commentary on a verse in Chapter 2 in your Bible, you can find those same verses and commentary in Chapter 4 of this book. Enjoy!
