The Hebrews’ departure from Egypt

Detailed explanation-1: -The Bible tells us that when the Israelites left Egypt they “plundered the Egyptians". That is, they took most of the wealth of the land (silver, gold and clothing) with them. In modem terms, this seems roughly equivalent to the sudden loss of everyone’s lifetime savings.
Detailed explanation-2: -God told Moses to tell the pharaoh to let the Israelites go. The pharaoh refused, so God sent 10 plagues to Egypt. Plagues are events that cause great problems for many people. Eventually, the plagues convinced the pharaoh to let the Israelites leave.
Detailed explanation-3: -It tells a story of Israelite enslavement and eventual departure from Egypt, revelations at biblical Mount Sinai, and wanderings in the wilderness up to the borders of Canaan. Its message is that the Israelites were delivered from slavery by Yahweh their god, and therefore belong to him by covenant.
