Theological Themes
Salvation: Gods deliverance of Israel from slavery in Egypt through the Passover provided not only physical salvation for His people, but also a picture of the spiritual salvation available through Him as well. Ten Commandments & Mosaic Covenant: Exodus contains the beginning of Gods laws for the people of Israel, which form the basis of the Mosaic Covenantan expansion to the Abrahamic Covenant dealing specifically with the aspect of land. Tabernacle: The tabernacle, constructed at the end of Exodus, provided a physical dwelling place for God in the midst of His people. It was the beginning of restored fellowship with God after the Garden of Eden. Yahweh: Though the name Yahweh was known prior to the Exodus, it is here that God reveals the true meaning and character of this name. Its basis is I AM, and emphasizes His constant, unwavering faithfulness to His covenant.
