Answer #1:
They are serving as slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt (Exodus ch.1).
Answer #2:
Examining the text of Exodus ch.1 in somewhat finer detail . . .
-- The first statement in Exodus that describes an event relevant to them
after their migration to Egypt is: "Joseph, all his brothers, and their entire
generation, died."
-- The next one is: "The children of Israel were fruitful, and they teemed,
increased, and became strong ... very much so."
That's what the Israelites were doing.
It's then that the king of Egypt goes off the deep end, and instead of merely
living privately with his personal demons, he goes public with them, in words
that the Jews have heard from so many other bellicose tyrants since then.
Let me paraphrase the next few verses from Exodus:
"Look at these Jews. They're all around us, they're stronger than we are, and
there are more of them than there are of us. Folks, we've got us a real problem
brewing, and we'd better start doing something about it. Now, I know that
they've been here for 200 years and never gave anybody any trouble, but that
doesn't mean a thing, because I'm telling you, I know how those people really
are, and the minute we get into a war with anybody, THEY'RE going over to
the other side. I guarantee it."
And then, he caps it off with a preposterous complaint that almost matches
"The food here is terrible, and the portions are so small!" for inanity. Pharaoh says
"And folks, that's not even the worst part ! After they join our enemies, the next
thing they'll do is LEAVE US !"
And that leads directly to the creeping, progressive restrictions, forced labor with
increasing demands and deteriorating working conditions, state-sanctioned
executions of the newborn males, and finally, utter slavery, with all the
negative connotations of that English word.
The book of Exodus.
"Exodus"
The book Exodus was written by Moses and it is about him and the Israelites journey through the desert.
The name is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. The Israelites' departure from Egypt is in the book of Exodus.
Israel.
Exodus is the name of the migration and the book.
The book that recounts how God cared for the Israelites is the Bible, specifically the Old Testament books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. These books describe God's provision and protection for the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt and journey to the Promised Land.
It is based on the Exodus, the departure of the Israelites from Egypt under Moses. The book is actually known by the name "Shemot" in the original Hebrew.
The presence of God accompanied the Israelites multiple times in the book of Exodus. Some notable instances include when God appeared to Moses in the burning bush, when God led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, and when God's presence descended on Mount Sinai in fire, smoke, and a loud trumpet blast.
The book of exodus tells us about the wandering for 40 years.
Yes, that is one of its most prominent topics. It also highlights some of the commands of God, some of the Israelites' journeys, the Giving of the Ten Commandments, and the building of the Mishkan (Tabernacle). See also the Related LinkMore about the Exodus
The Decalogue, or Ten Commandments, is first given in the Book of Exodus in the Bible. They are given to the Israelites by God on Mount Sinai through Moses.
