The Bible | KJV: Exodus

Exodus is the second book of the King James Version Bible. It tells how the children of Israel, once welcomed in Egypt, fall under a new Pharaoh who “knew not Joseph” and enslaves them. God hears their groaning and raises up Moses—saved from the Nile, called at the burning bush, and sent to say, “Let my people go.”

Through Moses and Aaron, the LORD sends ten plagues upon Egypt, from water turned to blood to the death of the firstborn. The Passover is instituted, the Red Sea is divided, and Israel passes through on dry ground while Pharaoh’s army is swallowed by the waters.

After deliverance, the people journey into the wilderness, where God gives manna, water from the rock, and victory over Amalek. At Mount Sinai, Moses receives the Ten Commandments and the covenant law. Though Israel sins with the golden calf, Moses intercedes, and God renews His people. The book closes with detailed instructions for the Tabernacle and the glory of the LORD filling it—God dwelling in the midst of His redeemed nation.

In the KJV, 《Exodus》 has 40 chapters and 1,213 verses, and is traditionally attributed to Moses. Its great themes are redemption, covenant, law, and presence: the God who saves His people also comes to live among them.
