Moses and the Red Sea
Digest
This podcast recounts the story of Moses, an Israelite born in Egypt who was saved and raised in Pharaoh's palace. After a mistake led him to exile in Midian, God called him to return and liberate his people. Pharaoh's refusal resulted in ten plagues, culminating in the death of the firstborn, which finally prompted him to allow the Israelites to leave. Guided by a pillar of fire and cloud, they journeyed to the Red Sea. When Pharaoh pursued them, God intervened, parting the sea for the Israelites to cross safely. The returning waters then drowned the Egyptian army, solidifying the Israelites' faith in God and Moses.
