Exodus

Shemot in Hebrew

The book of Exodus, known as Shemot in Hebrew, is the second book of the Torah. It continues the narrative of the Israelites’ journey and their development as a nation after the book of Genesis.

The book of Exodus chronicles the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, the revelation of the Ten Commandments and the establishment of the covenant at Mount Sinai, and the journey towards the Promised Land. It highlights the leadership of Moses, the miracles performed by G-d, and the development of the Israelite nation as a chosen people.

The book of Exodus includes the revelation of the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. The Israelites enter into a covenant with G-d, accepting His commandments and becoming His chosen people. Moses ascends the mountain and receives the Torah, including the laws and instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary where the Divine Presence will dwell among the people.
