A:In the biblical story of the Exodus from Egypt, Moses led the people out of Egypt and parted the Red Sea to allow them to cross out of Egypt. As the Egyptian army followed, the waters of the Red Sea returned, drowning every man in the entire army. God led the way, in a column of smoke through the day and of fire at night, and Moses performed many wondrous miracles. He went up a mountain, where God gave him the Ten Commandments, and when he returned, Moses found the Israelites worshipping a golden calf. Many adventures followed, but God refused to allow any who had been alive when they left Egypt to enter the Promised Land, except Joshua and Caleb.

That is indeed a wonderful story, of which the Jews could be proud. It did not really take place because there was no Exodus from Egypt. Archaeologists have established that the Israelites came from the Canaanite coastal lands and settled the mountainous hinterland peacefully.

The Exodus refers to the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, as described in The Bible. Led by Moses, they crossed the Red Sea and wandered in the desert for 40 years before reaching the Promised Land. This event is foundational in Jewish and Christian faiths and symbolizes freedom and deliverance from oppression.
