As he was suffering during the final plague of the Death of the Firstborn, Pharaoh finally told the Israelites to leave Egypt as God had predicted. With that, Moses and Aaron declared that it was finally time to depart.
The next day, with unleavened bread, silver, gold, and much more, approximately 3 million Israelites physically walked out of Egypt.
The Exodus from Egypt is a core event for the People of Israel, mentioned multiple times in daily prayers, on Shabbat, and the three pilgrimage festivals of Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot.
The Israel Bible is the world’s first Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) centered around the Land of Israel, the People of Israel, and the dynamic relationship between them.
