Departure of the Israelites from Egypt


The Exodus "the going out of Egypt", is the term used for the escape, departure and emancipation of the enslaved Israelites freed from Ancient Egypt as described in the Hebrew Bible, mainly in the Book of Exodus. The term is derived from the experience of the Israelites who are described a ("the children of Israel went out with a high hand" Exodus 14:8) ("This day you go forth in the month Abib. " Exodus 13:4) The full term meaning "Exodus (Greek for 'departure') from Egypt" is used in the Passover Hagadah that was authored almost 2, 000 years ago in the times of the Mishnah and is used in Jewish scholarship as in Maimonides' Mishneh Torah. In the Hebrew Bible story, the Israelites were led by Moses and Aaron. The goal was to return to the Land of Israel where their forefathers had lived and which, according to Jewish lore, they had been promised by Yahweh. The Exodus forms the basis of the Jewish holiday of Passover.
