It narrates the creation of the world, the early history of the Israelites, their descent into Egypt, the Exodus, and the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. The text includes religious obligations, civil laws, and historical accounts that form the foundation of Jewish identity and culture. Traditionally, it is believed that Moses received the Torah from God, but modern scholarship indicates that it is a product of multiple authors and redactions over several centuries[1][2][4].

Redemption E1 — Following our series on the Exodus Way, we’re going to explore a word that first shows up in the Exodus scroll, redemption. This word can mean lots of things: redeeming a coupon, redeeming an otherwise bad day, or—from a Christian perspective—being redeemed by Jesus. But what does redemption actually refer to in the story of the Bible? Jon and Tim kick off this new theme series by exploring how this word is used throughout Scripture and then defining the two Hebrew words that are translated as “redemption” or “redeem.”
