The Bible talks about Moses finding a bush that would not burn up. Moses stopped to check out why. God spoke to him through the bush. God spoke to him through the bush and told him he was standing on holy ground. Moses was told to take off his shoes. God said He had seen what the Egyptians were doing to His people. Moses asked who should I tell the people who sent me? God answered "I AM Who I AM" is what to tell the Israelites. While going to Pharaoh God did many miracles through Moses showing God's power against the gods that the Egyptians worshiped. After those miracles, Pharaoh would not let the people go. God told Moses that the oldest son would be killed unless they put blood on the doorframe. If there was no blood on the doorframe then the angle of death would kill the oldest son. In the morning those who did not have blood on the doorframe were distraught, weeping, and crying. Finally, Pharough let the Israelites leave. God closed the Nile so the Israelites could walk through it on dry ground. As soon as the Jews crossed it God let the water flow. The Egyptians gave chase when the ground was dry. The Egyptians were washed away when God released the water. That is one point that God showed His power to His people. The Jews continued going back to old habits often. Soon after they would remember that God took care of them before. They would return to the one and only God of the Universe.
That is still what we do even though it is so long ago. Maybe that is human nature.
