God protected Moses from Pharaoh’s command to kill all the Hebrew baby boys by having him adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and raised in the palace. But Moses chose to be identified with the Hebrew people. He killed an Egyptian and then fled to Midian to avoid punishment.
God called Moses while he was watching flocks in the desert of Midian. God wanted Moses to return to Egypt and lead the Israelites out of slavery to the land of Canaan. But Moses objected several times to God’s call before submitting to his will.
God sent plagues on Pharaoh and his people for refusing to let the Israelites go. Each plague demonstrated God’s power over the false gods of Egypt. Pharaoh’s magicians were no match for the true God.
God created the Passover to protect the Israelites from the final plague and to remind them of his power. The death of the firstborn sons and livestock of Egypt showed that God was more powerful than Pharaoh. The Passover foreshadowed Jesus as the spotless Lamb whose blood saves us from our sins.
God delivered the Israelites from Egypt and provided them with great possessions as he promised. In an awesome miracle that marked the redemption of the Israelites, God parted the waters of the Red Sea so his people could walk through on dry ground. But he closed the waters over the Egyptian army, destroying them completely.
