Exodus

Exodus
   Abook of the Hebrew Bible that describes the captivity of the Israelites in Egypt and their delivery by Moses from the oppression of the pharaoh. Much has been written to try to identify the route of the Exodus out of Egypt and the pharaoh concerned. The pharaoh of the oppression has usually been identified as Ramesses II or his son. Merenptah; however, the story, as described in Exodus, is in some respects legendary. Most Egyptologists do not accept the complete tale as historical fact. Some doubt its entire historicity, while others are willing to subscribe to a minor flight of slaves but not the full dramatic account. It has been recently argued that the Exodus is to some extent a rewriting of the expulsion of the Hyksos from a Canaanite or Israelite point of view.
