What are some things about the Hebrew society that exodus reveals?

∙ 6y ago
Hebrew society was based upon the covenant with God (Exodus ch.19). There was always a learned class among the Israelites, and in the wilderness, they studied all the time, for forty years. A portion of each day was spent praying. Religious questions (and torts) were brought to one of the many Rabbis or Jewish courts (Exodus 18).
Having a large family was an ideal, as was giving charity, and many other forms of kindness. A portion of income was given to the poor, plus a donation to the Temple (Tabernacle; Exodus 30). The calendar year was replete with the Sabbaths and festivals (Exodus 23); and blessings were said before and after eating and on many other occasions.
In brief, there was no such thing as a secular part of life, since the Torah's laws cover every form of activity.

∙ 6y agoHebrew society was based upon the covenant with God, as set forth in the Torah (Exodus ch.19). There was always a learned class among the Israelites, and virtually all men and boys (and a good percentage of women) could read and write. In the wilderness, they studied all the time, for forty years. A portion of each day was spent praying. Religious questions (and torts) were brought to one of the many Rabbis or Jewish courts (Exodus 18).

The Israelites sang praises to God when He revealed His power (Exodus 15), and they wanted to see such miracles again and again. Concerning this, see the Related Link.

Why is Exodus from Egypt consider to be a significant event for Jewish and other people?
The Exodus is when Moses freed the Hebrew people from slavery under Egyptian rule. This time showed the Jews that God is merciful and strong which strengthened their belief and trust in him.

If the Israelites were slaves of Egypt for 400 years are there some Egyptian words in the Hebrew language?
No, there is no linguistic evidence that the Israelites ever spent any time in Egypt. In fact the linguistic evidence disproves the Exodus story. The Hebrew language arose as a dialect of Canaanite around 900 BCE. The people who first spoke Hebrew were therefore of Canaanite origin, forming their own communities much later than the Bible admits. On the archaeological evidence, the Israelites began to adopt a separate identity no earlier than approximately 1250 BCE.
