PRESENTATION OUTLINE
the Israelites increased in number and became very powerful. Fearful of their growing strength, the pharaoh forced them into slavery.
God told Moses, “I will send you to the pharaoh, and you shall free my people.”
Moses went before the pharaoh,and told him to let the Israelites go free. When the pharaoh refused, God punished Egypt with ten terrible plagues.
Finally, the pharaoh gave in. Moses began to lead the Israelites out of Egypt,but the pharaoh soon changed his mind. The Egyptian army chased after them and nearly caught up at the edge of the Sea of Reeds but Moses raised his staff,and the waters of the sea parted.
God gave Moses the laws and teachings that became the foundation of Judaism. Some of these laws are called the Ten Commandments. Some of the commandments listed the Israelites’ duties to God.
