The Exodus is the central saving event of the Old Testament. God called Moses to be His prophet and to lead His people out of slavery in Egypt into the Promised Land to become a great nation. The centerpiece of this great drama of salvation is the Passover, which God established for His people to participate in and to remember for all time. God also shared His name with His people, revealing that He is knowable and that He has invited us to know Him and be in relationship with Him.
