Below I’ll share a recap of The Old Stories: Moses Episode 3, “The Deliverance”, which brings us the exodus of the people of Israel (Exodus 13:17-22) as well as the climactic parting of the Red Sea and destruction of Pharaoh and his pursuing chariots (Exodus 14).

I’ll also share my review of the episode and (eventually) my analysis of key themes and ideas.
