The World English Bible (WEB): Exodus

"The World English Bible (WEB): Exodus" by Anonymous is a timeless religious narrative that tells of a people's journey from slavery to freedom. It begins by describing how the descendants of Israel ended up enslaved in Egypt under the rule of a pharaoh who feared their growing numbers. To control them, the pharaoh forced them into hard labor and even ordered the killing of newborn Israelite boys. However, one child, Moses, was saved from this fate and raised in the pharaoh's own household. When Moses grew up, he saw the suffering of his people and decided to do something about it. This led him on a path where he would be chosen to lead his people out of slavery and receive laws from God, forever shaping their identity and their relationship with the divine. The early chapters highlight the beginnings of this journey, setting the stage for a story of liberation, the forging of a nation, and a sacred agreement between God and the Israelites.
