Title - _______________: Un Libro Laico Per Bambini

1 Exodus is one of the great stories of all time. It was

written many thousands of years ago.
It is the story of Moses and how he freed his people,
the Hebrew people, from slavery in Egypt and led
them to settle their homeland, Israel.

2 Exodus is the second book of the Bible. It comes after

the book of Genesis.
The Bible is a collection of stories from very long ago.
The first five chapters of the Bible, called the Torah,
are the oldest. These are the foundational stories,
the history of the Jewish people.
3 The first chapter, or book of the Bible, Genesis has
this grand mythical opening with God creating the
world in six days. He then creates and breathes life in
to the first people, Adam and Eve.

4 Adam and Eve live happily in the Garden Of Eden

until they are tempted by a serpent to eat the
forbidden fruit of knowledge. Doing so they anger
God who expels them from the garden, never to
return.

5 Jealous of Gods favor, Cain kills his brother Abel.

God asks Cain, “where is thy brother?” And Cain
replies: “I know not; am I my brother’s keeper?”
God curses Cain that he must wander the Earth.
6 Seeing wickedness in the world, God tells Noah to
build an ark and bring two of every animal on board.
God floods the world to cleanse it of violence.

7 When the flood waters recede Noah’s family and all

of the animals will repopulate the Earth.

8 God commands that Abraham leaves Ur, promises

him a child with his wife Sarah and that their children
shall become a great nation.
9 To test his faith God tells Abraham to sacrifice his
only son Isaac. Abraham listens to God and readies to
kill Isaac. At the last minute commands Abraham to
stop and instead sacrifices a lamb.

10 Isaac has two sons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob tricks Isaac
in to giving him the birthright.

11 Joseph has a coat of many colors, he interprets

dreams, is sold into slavery, befriends the Pharaoh,
lives in Egypt, feeds his brothers during a famine, and
reunites with his family.
12 Exodus Begins Where Genesis Leaves Off.
The descendants of Joseph, the Hebrew peoples, the
twelve tribes of Israel, still live in Egypt. There are
many of them. They are prosperous and successful.

13 Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not
know Joseph. And he said unto his people: 'Behold,
the people of the children of Israel are too many and
too mighty for us; let us deal wisely with them, lest
they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there
is war, they also join our enemies, and fight against
us.’

14 The new Pharoah enslaves the Israelites. He puts

them to work building his temples and pyramids and
working in the fields. Yet the children of Israel grow
stronger, more and more in number.

And God called the firmament Heaven. And there

was evening and there was morning, a second day.
15 Fearful, Pharoah commands that each newborn male
Hebrew child shall be cast in to the river Nile and
killed.

16 A child is born to the Hebrew tribe of Levi. At birth

his mother tries to hide him from Pharaoh. But after
three months she can no longer keep him hidden.
She weaves a basket out of reeds, places the child in
the basket and sets it adrift down the Nile River,
hoping the child will be safe.

17 The child is found by Pharaoh’s daughter when she

goes down to the river to bathe. She hears a crying
baby by the water, finds the basket, opens it and
says, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” She
takes the baby to raise as one of her own in
Pharaoh’s house. She names him Moses.

18 Many years have passed and Moses is grown. He is a

young man now. Moses is walking and sees an
Egyptian beating a Hebrew worker. Moses kills the
Egyptian and hides him in the sand. The following
 day Moses passes two other Hebrew slaves at work
and they ask him “Who made you ruler and judge?
Would you kill us the way you killed the Egyptian?”

19 Scared that others had seen what he had done,

Moses flees. He leaves Egypt and goes to Midian. He
meets and is taken in by the priest of Midian, Jethro.
Moses becomes a shepherd looking after Jethro’s
flocks and marries one of his daughters, Zipporah.

In Egypt, the children of Israel, slaves to Pharaoh, cry

out to God, who hears them.
20 Moses is out in the hills with Jethro’s flocks. He
comes across a burning bush. God calls to him from
the bush “Moses, Moses. I am the God of thy father,
the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God
of Jacob.”

God tells Moses that he has seen the suffering of his

people in Egypt and tells Moses that he is to go to
Pharaoh and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt.

21 And Moses asks God, “How shall I do this and who

shall I say sent me?” and God replies, “Tell them I Am
has sent you”

Then Moses asks, “What if they do not believe me or

listen to me?” and God replies, “Take your staff and
throw it on the ground.” Moses does so and his staff
turns in to a serpent.
 And Moses says, “I am slow of speech and tongue”
and God replies, “Take your brother Aaron for he will
be your mouth.”

22 Moses and Aaron return to Egypt. As God commands

them they appear before Pharaoh and demand that
he let the people of Israel go. Pharaoh refuses and
says to them, “Prove yourselves by working a
miracle.”

23 Aaron throws his staff to the floor and it turns in to a

serpent. Pharaoh calls his wisemen and magicians to
him and they throw down their staff’s which also
become serpents. Aaron’s serpent eats the others.

Moses says, “Let my people go.”

Pharaoh does not listen.

24 One (water to blood)

To punish the Egyptians, God will send ten plagues.

God tells Moses to go down to the Nile river when

Pharaoh is there. Moses demands of Pharaoh again,
“Let my people go!” God tells Moses to lift up his
staff and strike the waters of the Nile which then turn
to blood. Still Pharaoh says no.

25 Two
Moses returns to Pharaoh and again demands, “Let
my people go!”. Aaron raises his staff and frogs come
out of the Nile and swarm over all the land. Still
 Pharaoh says no.

26 Three
God said to Moses “Tell Aaron to strike the dust of
the earth, so that it might become gnats.” Aaron did
so and there were gnats upon man and beast
throughout all of Egypt. Pharaohs magicians said
“This is the finger of God”, still Pharaoh says no.

27 Four
And Moses goes to meet Pharaoh down by the water
and again says, “Let my people go”. God sends
swarms of flies throughout Egypt, to Pharaoh and his
servants homes. Still Pharaoh says no.

28 Five
The fifth plague, God sends a sickness that will affect
only the cattle and livestock of the Egyptians. And all
the cattle of Egypt died, but of the cattle of the
children of Israel, not one died. And Pharaoh still did
not let the people go.

29 Six
And God said to Moses and Aaron “Take handfuls of
soot from the furnace and throw it to the sky and the
dust shall come down and create boils on man and
beast.” Still Pharaoh would not let the people go.

30 Seven
The seventh plague, God sends hail and fire raining
down from the heavens. The hail struck man and
 beasts and broke the trees in the field. And still
Pharaoh would not let the Israelites go.

31 Eight .
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, “Let my
people go.” And Moses stretched out his hand and
locusts went throughout Egypt eating everything left
that the hail did not destroy, all the trees, the fruits,
the grain, nothing green remained. Still Pharaoh said
no.

32 Nine
And God said to Moses, “Stretch out thy hand toward
heaven, that there may be a darkness over the land
of Egypt.” And there was a thick darkness that lasted
for three days. Moses said to Pharaoh, “Let my
people go.” And still Pharaoh said no.

33 Ten
God says to Moses and Aaron that he will kill each
first born son of the Egyptians. Every Hebrew home is
to have a meal, cook a lamb and unleavened bread,
mark the doors of their homes with the blood of the
lamb, to sign that they are the children of Israel and
God will Passover their homes, leaving them
undisturbed. But in each Egyptian home, God will
take their first born.

34 take the flocks and the herds, rise up and leave the
land of Egypt.
35 The Hebrews packed all of their belongings, gathered
their flocks. Without time to let the bread rise, they
baked matzoh to eat. And Moses said until the
people “Remember this day, in which we came out
from Egypt, out from slavery.”
And they left…

36 Furious, Pharaoh has a change of heart, he orders his

Chk army and chariots to chase down the Hebrews and
Stranger bring them back. At the Red Sea, Moses and his
s people see the chariots of Pharaoh coming after
them…

37 Moses calls to God. God responds, “Lift up your staff”

DIFF and with that Moses parts the Red Sea, he leads his
people across the dried ground to the other side and
just as the Egyptians are crossing, the sea closes up
again and swallows up all of Pharaoh’s army.

38 Having escaped Pharaoh and the Egyptians, Moses

and his people enter Sinai where they wander for
quite some time, many days, weeks, months pass.

39 God calls to Moses and his people to remind them

that he is the God who has delivered them from
Egypt and freed them from Pharaoh. The Hebrews
have gathered and built a camp near Mount Sinai.

40 God calls to Moses to climb up the mountain so that

Moses may be given the laws by which the Hebrews
 are to live. For a very long time Moses is gone as God
recites to him the laws of the land.

41 Moses comes down from the mountain, he sees that

the people have made a calf out of gold and are
worshipping it. Angered Moses smashes the laws
that God gave to him and that he had written down.
And then smashes the golden calf.

The people ask forgiveness from Moses and from

God, they had thought that Moses and God had
abandoned them.

42 God accepts the apology given by the Hebrew people

and once again Moses climbs Mount Sinai and once
again writes down the laws. Of all of the laws God
gives to Moses, the Ten Commandments are the
most important.

43 I am the Lord the God, Thou shalt have no other gods

before Me.
Thou shall not make graven images
Thou shall not take the Lords name in vain
Remember the Sabbath day, keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother.
Thou shall not kill
Thou shall not commit adultery
Thou shall not steal
Thou shall not bear false witness
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor
44 Moses is told to build an ark where the ten
commandments can be kept safe and carried with
the people as they move.

45 Moses is also given the instructions on how to build

the temple, the place of worship for God, where God
can communicate and connect with his people.

46 Despite all of Moses’ heroic deeds, leading the

people of Israel out of Egypt, parting the Red Sea,
defeating Pharaoh, writing down the laws, Moses
never enters the land of Israel. He dies at the very old
age of 120, just before his people settle their land
that was promised to them by their God.

47 We leave the story of Moses with Joshua leading the

Hebrew people in to the land of Israel.

ten commandments and Moses not quite making it

The Bible is one of the great works of world
literature. The bible begins with Genesis, the creation
of the world in seven days, the first two people Adam
and Eve, their children and their children’s children,
the Hebrew people. Genesis leaves of with the
Hebrews in Egypt which is where Exodus begins.

L'Esodo è l'epica storia biblica di Mosè che guida il popolo
ebraico fuori dalla schiavitù dell'Egitto e verso la terra

prospettiva neutrale. Il libro inizia con un breve riepilogo degli
eventi della Genesi, della creazione, di Adamo ed Eva fino a
Giuseppe in Egitto. Seguiamo Mosè dalla sua nascita, alla sua
fuga dall'Egitto, al suo incontro con il roveto ardente, al ritorno

La Bibbia è una delle grandi opere della letteratura mondiale.
La Bibbia inizia con la Genesi, la creazione del mondo in sette
giorni, le prime due persone Adamo ed Eva, i loro figli e i figli
dei loro figli, il popolo ebraico. La Genesi parte con gli Ebrei in
Egitto, dove inizia l'Esodo.

Exodus is a wonderful and timeless story. The book is
by no means a complete retelling of Exodus, rather it
is a quick introduction meant to familiarize kids with
the story. Appropriate for children somewhere
between the ages of 4 and 8.
