name was "Abram" who was born in the city
of Ur of the Chaldeas around 1800 B.C.E. God changed Sarai's name to

God revealed himself to Moses as he
spoke through a burning bush that was
not consumed. Revealing God's name as
"Yahweh," he commanded Moses to
return to Egypt and demand the release
of Israelites from slavery.
MOSES
While the firstborn sons of every
Egyptian household would die, sons of
Israelites would be saved if they marked
their door posts with the blood of lamb

lamb must be cooked and eaten with
bitter herbs and unleavened bread. This
is known as the Passover, an important
Jewish festival.
MOSES
