The Israelites in Bondage
The sun burned down on the land of Egypt, turning everything into a furnace of heat. Beneath it, countless Hebrew slaves worked endlessly, their bodies covered in sweat and dust. Men, women, and even children spent their days making bricks, mixing mud and straw with tired hands. Their backs ached as they stacked the heavy bricks, building Pharaoh’s great cities and monuments.
Egyptian overseers watched them closely, whips in hand, ready to strike. The sharp crack of a whip cut through the air, followed by a painful cry.
“Move faster!” one of the overseers shouted, his voice full of impatience. A man who had stopped for a breath was quickly forced back to work.
For generations, the Israelites had lived like this—born into slavery with no way out. Every day was filled with exhaustion, every night with sorrow. It seemed like nothing would ever change. But even in their suffering, they still had one hope.
With tired hands lifted toward the sky, they cried out to God, begging for mercy, for freedom, for someone to save them. And even though it felt like no one was listening, their prayers were not ignored.
Now, let’s begin the incredible journey of Moses—from Egypt to the Promised Land.
