Israelites living captivity egypt

High Resolution JPEG Picture of The Israelites were living in captivity in Egypt. They were persecuted and abused. Pharaoh ordered that all Hebrew newborn boys be killed. Moses was born during this time. His mother hid him in a basket and Pharaoh’s daughter found him and raised him in the palace. God spoke to Moses through a burning bush and instructed him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to Canaan, the “Promised Land.” It took a long time to get Pharaoh to allow the Israelites to leave. Before leaving, the first Passover was observed. God told Moses that He would pass through Egypt and that every Egyptian boy would die. All Israelites were to place the blood of a lamb on the door so their houses would be passed over and the boys would live. After that Pharaoh allowed them to go. Moses was the leader on the journey and along the way he performed miracles like parting the Red Sea, turning his staff to a serpent, and turning the river water to blood. He was given the Ten Commandments. The Israelites were guided by God in the form of a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. The journey was long, filled with good days, trials, and grumbling. Eventually, after 40 years in the wilderness, they made it. Moses saw the promised land and then died. He never actually made it there.
