      Introduction

      A new nation is born, and a world power is humbled by its own slaves! These are some of the grand events that take place in Exodus, the second book of the Old Testament. While many are familiar with the Classic Movie The Ten Commandments, or perhaps more recent versions of the same story, a closer look at the original account cane be very beneficial for us. As we’ll see, there are quite a few differences between Hollywood’s versions and the Bible. Reading Moses words directly can be very interesting for us.

The order was handed down to the Hebrew midwives to kill any Hebrew boy that was born. They no doubt expected this would weaken the Hebrews, to be missing nearly an entire generation of healthy fighting males. However, the midwives did not listen, and kept the boys alive anyway.

      Soon the Egyptians went from preventive to proactive. They went about, killing the young Hebrew boys. But one baby boy was born at that time that was hidden from the Egyptians. That boy would come to called Moses.

      Moses mother put him in a small, waterproof basket, and floated him down the Nile River, no doubt praying for God to take care of him. The baby was found by none other than the daughter
