These chapters tell of the story of Moses. Moses was this man in Egypt that is the adoptive brother of the Pharaoh Ramses. God speaks to Moses through a burning bush and tells him to free His people who are being kept captive as slaves in Egypt. Moses asks the Pharaoh if he will let the people go but he refused so God sent seven plagues upon his land. The last one being the angel of death going from house to house that did not have lamb blood on the door and killing the youngest son in the house. One of the killed was the Pharaoh's son. Ramses, pissed, let Moses leave with his people but Ramses started going after him after some time. God slows down the Egyptians as Moses escaped and they reached the Red Sea. The Red Sea then parts before them and the Israelites are able to pass, but when the Egyptians tried, The sea came back together drowning them. I guess they are going to sleep with the fishes. Anyways, Moses leads the people through the desert until they reach Mt. Sinai. Moses then climbed the mountain and got the ten commandments from God.
Unlike Genesis, this book is actually historically proven. Moses and Ramses actually did exist. Not that I doubt the rest. I am Catholic I swear. Something I noticed is that this is the first time God tells his people exactly what is wrong in the Ten Commandments. I suppose this is the point where sin starts existing. This book was pretty straight forward. It had none of this interpretation crap.
