It emphasizes God's role as a deliverer and covenant-keeper. The Exodus is a central theme throughout the Old Testament, symbolizing salvation and God's faithfulness. It is referenced in numerous scriptures, such as <a href="/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12-14</a>, and serves as a type of Christ's redemptive work, where Jesus delivers believers from the bondage of sin.<p><b>and redeemed you from the house of slavery.</b><br>The term "redeemed" signifies a transaction where God paid the price for Israel's freedom, highlighting His grace and mercy. The "house of slavery" refers to Egypt, where the Israelites were oppressed. This redemption is a precursor to the ultimate redemption through Christ, as seen in the New Testament (e.g., <a href="/galatians/3-13.htm">Galatians 3:13</a>). The concept of redemption is central to the biblical narrative, illustrating God's power to liberate and transform.<p><b>I sent Moses before you,</b><br>Moses is a pivotal figure in Israel's history, chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. His leadership and role as a prophet are crucial, as he mediates between God and the people. Moses is a type of Christ, as both are deliverers and lawgivers. The sending of Moses underscores God's direct involvement and guidance in Israel's journey, as seen in <a href="/exodus/3.htm">Exodus 3-4</a>.<p><b>as well as Aaron and Miriam.</b><br>Aaron, Moses' brother, served as the first high priest, establishing the priesthood and sacrificial system, which foreshadows Christ's priestly role (<a href="/hebrews/4-14.htm">Hebrews 4:14-16</a>). Miriam, their sister, is recognized as a prophetess and leader among the women of Israel (<a href="/exodus/15-20.htm">Exodus 15:20-21</a>).
