The Story of the Exodus From Egypt

The exodus from egypt is a story of raising up from the grave. Its also a birth narrative, with Israel like a groaning woman struggling to be delivered. The prophet jonah is cast into the deep, into the abyss itself but there he is swallowed up by a big fish and later vomited out. On the third day, jesus refers to this as a symbol of his resurrection. You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy. For your dew is a dew of light and the earth will give birth to the dead"
