📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, the Israelites had been enslaved in Egypt for generations, suffering under Pharaoh's oppression as God prepared to deliver them through His servant Moses. After God sent ten devastating plagues upon Egypt, the final plague, the death of the firstborn, finally compelled Pharaoh to relent and release the Israelites. That night, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron in desperation, commanding them to leave immediately with all the people to serve the Lord as promised.
