This episode guides you through the roles of key players such as Yahweh, Moses, Pharaoh, and the Israelites, dissecting their contributions to the drama of liberation. The narrative's framework showcases the powerful shift from oppression to a life of promise. We explore the Passover's significance and the lasting impact on the Israelite identity and spiritual journey.
