Detailed Facts Behind The Map Of The Exodus From Egypt

By Cynthia Schmidt


For over the years, many believers have been in a smug of disbelief about the dating of a thrust of the Israelite out of Egypt to their promised land of Canaan. Many researchers have toiled tirelessly to sketch out the map of the Exodus from Egypt. The realm of Exodus has been the founding myth of Jewish people which is referenced in the books of Torah. The mapping tells of all the fate that befell the children of Israel in their captivity in Egypt, their liberation and the proceeding havoc in the wilderness of Sin.

It commences after the ten plagues that befell the Egyptians to mark the end of servitude that was endured by the children of Israelite under the brutal era of pharaoh. It is sealed by the period the Israelites possessed the promised land of Canaan. The journey is ordained at the place where the Israelites celebrated the feast of Passover; which took place at Goshen. According to Biblical assertions, it is versed to have taken a period of forty years of suffering in the wilderness.

They were led by a patriarch who was chosen by the Lord to liberate the children of Israel from the brutalities of Egyptians. They first camped at the mid of the first month of their journey for the celebration of bumper harvest which enabled them to perform thanksgivings rituals and sacrifices. The Lord attended them symbolically in a pillar of cloud during the daytime and in a pillar of fire during the nighttime.

The Israelite crossed the Red Sea in a sanction of a miracle after they hosted the festival of pi-hahiroth which was as a gratitude to the Almighty. Afterwards, they journeyed the lands of Marah where the Lord healed its waters for replenishing the thirst-desires of children of Israelite. During that period, they camped in Elim in divisions of twelve springs of Israel tribes.

Afterwards, they trekked through the wilderness of sin where the Lord provided them with manna and quail for their nourishment. The wilderness was filled with dangerous snakes that imposed tremendous suffering to the Israelites. In it, they also fought the Amalekites and other Moabite communities who were hostile and garnered all-time triumph victory. Finally, they reached the foot of Jebel Musa mounts where they were given the Ten Commandments.

At Horeb desert, they constructed temporary places of worship which manifested the presence of God among them. They were basically for purification purposes and other sacred activities. The troops grew larger and larger to a point where Moses could not manage, therefore, leading to the calling of seventy elders that helped him to guide the people.

They lastly crossed the land of the descendants of Esau and Ammon in harmony as they were commanded by the Lord. Afterwards, Moses sends spies to the Promised Land where most of them denied entering the land thus settled at the valley of Kadesh for a long time. They finally reached mount Nebo where Moses had a scenic view of Canaan and channeled his last directives before his promotion to glory. The remaining Israelites then entered the Promised Land and possessed it.

Therefore, the historic exodus journey was documented by a vast number of authors because it took many years, an aspect that was beyond human imagination. However, Ezra was given credit as the chief composer of all the books of Torah.
