📚 Historical Context

In the book of Exodus, Moses was living in the wilderness as a shepherd after fleeing Egypt for killing an Egyptian, when God appeared to him in a burning bush to reveal His plan. God had heard the cries of the Israelites, who had been enslaved in Egypt for about 400 years, and was now commissioning Moses to confront Pharaoh and lead His people to freedom. This moment marks the start of the Exodus narrative, fulfilling God's covenant promises to the patriarchs like Abraham.
