Israel settled in Egypt by grace in Joseph's day, but generations later, under a new dynasty that "knew not Joseph," they became state labor exploited for building projects (Exodus 1:8-14). God's salvation begins right in the middle of that oppression, at the lowest point. The way Moses is called — a bush that burns but is not consumed (Exodus 3) — and the unfolding of the ten plagues were not merely an escape story; they were Yahweh's direct challenge to Egypt's gods and to Pharaoh's claim to divine authority. The Red Sea crossing is the climax: at the exact point where every human escape route was cut off, God himself opened a way.
