Moses and the Journey Out of Egypt

Moses and the Journey Out of Egypt: a short retelling of the Bible story from Exodus 14 for children, with questions, a memory verse and an activity.

Moses grew up and was called by God from a burning bush to lead the Israelites out of slavery. Pharaoh refused to let them go until ten plagues had come on Egypt. At last the people left, but Pharaoh's army chased them to the Red Sea. God opened a path through the sea; the people crossed on dry ground, and the waters closed on the army.
