'Let My People Go' (Ex. 5:1) as an Expression
of the Human Spirit's Aspiration to Dignity and Freedom
Dr. Lea Mazor, The Hebrew University
The Exodus from Egypt stands as the most prominent event in the Bible's narrative of Israel's history, appearing throughout poetry, prophecy, law, and psalms. The Ten Commandments themselves open with God's self-presentation: "I the LORD am your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, the house of bondage" (Ex. 20:2; Deut. 5:6).
