DELIVERANCE

Exodus 12:37 (AMPC) The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

Note in John MacArthur Study Bible: A conservative estimate based on the number of men, probably the fighting men 20 years of age and above, would give a population of 2 million.

Seventy Jews entered Egypt

To escape famine in the Holy Land.

When Moses led them back out,

Two million obeyed his command.

God had multiplied his people,

Given them Egypt’s silver and gold.

He brought them out hale and hearty,

None feeble, none stumbled, we’re told.

Their miraculous deliverance from bondage,

Oppressed as Egypt’s slaves,

Is recounted by the psalmist

To give thanks to our God who saves!
