Exodus 15 starts with a song to the Lord, in which Moses and the Israelites praise Him for their deliverance and His glory which was displayed in their rescue from Pharaoh's army. Then as they traveled from the Red Sea into the desert, they did not have water for 3 days. They cried out to the Lord and He provided water for them to drink. God said to them, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you." God then led them to Elim, where there was shelter and water and they camped there.

In Exodus 14, Moses lead the Israelites to camp by the sea near Migdol, just as the Lord had instructed. This was part of God’s plan to gain glory for Himself, since Pharaoh would bring his army against them there, thinking he had them “hemmed in” by the sea. Pharaoh’s heart was still hardened as he continued to pursue the Israelites, but God said, “I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord”. The Israelites were terrified when they saw Pharaoh’s army marching after them, but Moses said to them “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.” Using Moses’ outstretched hand over the sea, God divided the water so that the Israelites could go through on dry ground, for “the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land” with a wall of water on the right and left. As the Egyptians pursued them, God “threw them into confusion” and “made the wheels of their chariots come off so that they had difficulty driving”. The Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.” Then the Lord, through Moses’ outstretched hands, made the sea waters flow back over the Egyptian army as they pursued the Israelites and the entire army of Pharaoh was swept into the sea without any survivors. “That day the Lord saved Israel (again) from the hands of the Egyptians...and when the Israelites saw the great power the Lord displayed ..., the people feared the Lord and put their trust in Him”.

Exodus 13 is about the establishment of an annual festival, celebrating what the Lord did for the Israelites, "with the power of His mighty hand, the Lord brought us out of Egypt". Part of the annual event would include the dedication of every firstborn among the Israelites to the Lord, so in this way they would always remember how the Lord had rescued them from their slavery in Egypt. When they left, Moses brought the bones of Joseph, since Joseph had said "God will certainly come to help you. When he does, you must take my bones with you from this place." When the Israelites left, "the Lord went ahead of them and guided them" leading them day and night through the wilderness.

Exodus 12 is the account of the last plague and the eventual "exodus" of the Israelites. The Lord gave Moses and Aaron lots of specific instructions as to the proper timing and details of how they must prepare a lamb for the "passover". They were told to "take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the door frames of the houses where they eat the lambs". And the blood would be a sign for the Lord to pass over, when He goes throughout Egypt striking down every firstborn in judgment of Egypt. This occurred on the fourteen day of the first month, just as the Lord had said, and there was "loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not an (Egyptian) house without someone dead". Pharaoh summoned Moses and said, "Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested". God had seen the misery of His people and rescued them, and the Israelites journeyed out of Egypt that night.

In Exodus 11, after many plagues, the Lord said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely." This last plague would be the worst, which would cause every firstborn son in Egypt to die, even Pharaoh's son. Even the animals belonging to the Egyptians would lose their firstborn, but the Israelites would not lose any firstborn. Hearing about this, Pharaoh still refused to listen and let the Israelites go out of his country, since the Lord hardened his heart.

In Exodus 9, three more plagues occur in Egypt due to the refusal of Pharaoh to let the Israelites leave to worship their God. First was the death of all the livestock of the Egyptians, then boils broke out among all the men and animals in Egypt, and then God sent the worst hailstorm ever to land on Egypt and crushed the fields and trees. Pharaoh summoned Moses and again asked him to pray to the Lord and tell Him that he would let the people go. Moses prayed and the the storm stopped, but Pharaoh again hardened his heart and he would not let the Israelites go. In Exodus 10, God sent two more plagues to Egypt , locusts which ate every remaining green plant and tree, and then complete darkness in which no one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days. Even after all these plagues, Pharaoh still hardened his heart and was not willing to let them go and worship. Pharaoh told Moses , "Get out of my sight! Make sure you do not appear before me again! " Moses replied, "Just as you say, I will never appear before you again."

Exodus 8 is about the next series of plagues that God sent to Egypt because Pharaoh would not yield and continued to harden his heart against the commands of God. Before each plague, the Lord sent Moses to ask Pharaoh to let the Israelites go to worship their God. Each time, Moses would also warn Pharaoh of the next plague that would occur if Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go. Pharaoh began to recognize the power of the God of the Israelites with each plague, asking Moses to pray to the Lord to take away the plague from Egypt. Even Pharaoh's magicians confessed, "This is the finger of God", and they could not remove the plagues, "but Pharaoh's heart was hard and he would not listen, just as the Lord had said".
