God's speeches of redemption 

The account of the Burning Bush depicts Moses encountering a miraculous phenomenon — a bush engulfed in flames yet not consumed—where God, through both YHWH and Elohim aspects, reveals Himself and calls Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. In the Book of Exodus both names are now subsumed under the name YHWH. This is the God who “will be” with the Israelites throughout history. The narrative emphasizes God’s appreciation of the Israelites' suffering, and His promise to rescue them, offering Moses assurance and signs to validate his mission. The format of God's speech highlights past covenants with Abraham and future promises to Israel, focusing on God's active role in their redemption.The reason for God choosing Moses and the grouping of Ten Plagues are also discussed.

The Egyptian Exodus and Canaanite conquest – facts or fiction?
​A verse from the Book of Kings states that there were 480 years between the Exodus from Egypt and the beginning of building of Solomon’s Temple which dates the Exodus to 1446 BCE. This period of 480 years is internally consistent with the rest of the Bible. The story of the Exodus told in the Torah fits in well with the pharaohs of Israelite slavery belonging to the 18th Dynasty. It is likely that Ahmenhotep II was the Pharaoh of the Exodus in that his military expeditions and Temple building activity were much less than his predecessors, indications that he lost his slaves at the Exodus and his chariots at the Reed Sea. It is speculated on the basis of Egyptian archeology that Ahmenhotep II’s stepmother Hatsheput was the foster mother of Moses. The commonly held time of the conquest of Canaan as the end of the 13th century BCE and beginning of the Iron Age fits poorly into the archeological record. A conquest during the Late Bronze Age in about 1400 BCE fits archeological findings at Jericho and inscriptions found in Egypt. ​
