Detailed explanation-1: -The journey of the Israelites out of Egypt is called the Exodus. The Jewish holy festival of Passover celebrates their freedom from slavery. During their journey, the Israelites received a covenant, or agreement, with God. The Hebrew Bible says God promised to guide the Israelites safely back to Canaan.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Bible says that after Moses accepted his dangerous mission to get the Israelites out of Egypt, he confronted the pharaoh. The pharaoh refused to let his people go until God unleashed a series of unnatural disasters known as the 10 plagues.
Detailed explanation-3: -This small paper is a defense of the claim, expressed by its title, that the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt happened ca. 2450 B.C., at the end of the Old Kingdom of Egypt, as opposed to the traditional view that this historic event should be dated to ca. 1450 B.C., during the New Kingdom.
