About this listen

This extensive text from "Beyond the Horizon," comprising excerpts from the biblical book of Exodus, chronicles the Israelites' journey from slavery in Egypt to the establishment of their covenant with God at Mount Sinai. It begins with their oppression under a new Pharaoh and the miraculous birth and early life of Moses, who is chosen by God to lead his people to freedom. The narrative details the series of plagues inflicted upon Egypt as Pharaoh repeatedly refuses to release the Israelites, culminating in the Passover and the death of the firstborn. Following their departure from Egypt and the miraculous parting of the Red Sea, the text describes the Israelites' initial hardships in the wilderness and the revelation of the Ten Commandments and other laws at Mount Sinai, interrupted by their idolatry with the golden calf. Finally, it outlines God's detailed instructions for the construction of the Tabernacle, its furnishings, and the elaborate garments and consecration rituals for Aaron and his sons to serve as priests, demonstrating the establishment of a sacred dwelling place for God among his people.
