    The ‘Guidance out of Egypt’ and the ‘Revelation of Sinai’ includes the Egyptian slavery, their journey to Sinai, and the laws given at Sinai. These are similar to the first and second part of Exodus according to Gordon Wenham (2003, p. 58). These sections of Exodus includes the Israelites’ escape from slavery and the Mosaic Covenant.

Noth’s themes imply that the Lord helped the Israelite to escape slavery and destroyed the Egyptians.…
