What is the significance of Exodus to the Israelites?

Answer 1

A:Unquestionably, the biblical Exodus is the most important foundation myth of Judaism and of the Israelite nation. It finalises the justification of the occupation of the Promised Land, shows the unwavering loyalty of God to the Israelites alone, and provides the Ten Commandments which, although only ten of many commandments in total, demonstrate to the satisfaction of believers that God demanded obedience in return.

ANSWER:

Throughout history, mankind has put full use of their mental capacity and resources to disavow any absolute authority such as the Bible. We are a rebellious peoples. Absolutes means someone elses rules and we humans like our own rules as we go along the road of life. May be ok today, but tomorrow, well who knows.

Yes, not ony Jew but Christian religions would be of little value if the Exodus event is not accurate or proveable.And that is just what the moral secularist, positivist, relativist desire. But if they had an open mind and afforded the Bible text at least a resource basis, they might find how lost they really are. Are they even looking in the right timeframe? Says who, tradition. Why that has changed enormously since I began to read as a child - dinosaurs are a great example here.

Suffice it to say that most of the scientific evidence to date for this event has been published solely in Scientific Journals or kept locked-up in Museums - even here in Brooklyn, NYC. The Times and Newsweek haven't published a solid piece on these discoveries yet. The way of mankind, I suspect. Simply 'google' Did the Exodus Happen or Evidence of the Exodus and find varying details of the event. You might not enjoy reading so get the History Channels, 2006, piece called, 'The Exodus Decoded' by Simcha Jacobovich. There are critics always, but you decide for yourself.

For me, if Christ spoke to Moses and the time and tribes in the Exodus, it is a historical event.
