    1. Exodus The Birth of a Nation

    2. Exodus: the Birth of a Nation Background Eighteenth Dynasty Egypt, the setting for Israels dramatic departure, was a politically and economically important period of Egyptian history. Thutmose III, for example, the Pharaoh of the Oppression, has been called the Napoleon of Ancient Egypt, the ruler who expanded the boundaries of Egyptian influence far beyond natural borders. This was the dynasty that over a century before, under the leadership of Amose I, had expelled the Hyksos kings from the country and redirected the countrys economic, military, and diplomatic growth. At the time of the Exodus, Egypt was strong. John MacArthur, The MacArthur Bible Handbook The Egyptian Pharaohs beginning with Thutmose 1 (Pharaoh at the time of Moses birth) had begun to experiment with population control in an attempt to prevent a Hebrew uprising. Amenhotep 2 (the Pharaoh of the Exodus) came to the throne around 1450 BC and proved to be an extremely cruel and implacable ruler. Interesting side note: All the Pharaohs in Exodus are unidentified.
