Exodus takes after Genesis in much an indistinguishable connection from the New Testament stands to the Old Testament. Beginning recounts man's disappointment under each test and in each condition; Exodus is the exciting epic of God's rushing to safeguard man. It recounts the reclaiming work of a sovereign God.

Mass migration is prevalently the book of reclamation in the Old Testament. It starts in the murkiness and melancholy, but closes in magnificence; it begins by telling how God descended in grace to carry an oppressed people, and finishes by announcing how God descended in grace to stay amidst a reclaimed people.

Mass migration, which is Greek, signifies "way out." Without Genesis the book of Exodus has no significance. It starts with the word 'NOW' which truly signifies 'AND,' The story is quite recently proceeding. This book, in the same way as other books of the Old Testament, starts with "AND." This appears to point to the way that each writer was not simply recording his own particular story but rather just his piece of an extraordinary dramatization which started in the occasions of the past and anticipated what might come.

Dr. D. L. Moody said that Moses put in Forty years supposing he was someone, Forty years learning he was no one, Forty years finding what God can do with no one. See Hebrews 11:23-29.
