Main Themes:

• God's Deliverance from Slavery: The main focus is on God's promise to Abraham and His fulfillment of that promise by freeing the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. This shows God's faithfulness, power, and compassion for His people
• Moses as God's Leader: The story highlights Moses's journey from being raised as a prince in Pharaoh's palace to becoming a reluctant leader chosen by God to confront Pharaoh and lead the Israelites to freedom
• Consequences of Disobedience: God hardens Pharaoh's heart so that he repeatedly ignores God's commands delivered through Moses and Aaron. This results in a series of plagues that demonstrate God's power and the consequences of defying Him

Important Ideas/Facts:

• Moses's Early Life: Moses, a Hebrew, was saved from death as a baby and raised by Pharaoh's daughter. As an adult, he discovers his true identity and flees Egypt after killing an Egyptian for beating a Hebrew slave
• God's Call to Moses: God speaks to Moses through a burning bush, telling him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Despite Moses's fear and reluctance, he accepts the task
• The Ten Plagues: To force Pharaoh to release the Israelites, God sends ten plagues on Egypt, including turning the Nile to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock disease, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and finally, the death of the firstborn
• The Passover: Before the final plague, God instructs the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and mark their doorposts with its blood to protect their firstborn sons. This was the first Passover meal
• The Exodus: After the final plague, Pharaoh finally lets the Israelites go. They leave Egypt with their possessions and gifts of gold and silver from the Egyptians.
