In God's timing, the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt marked the end of a period of oppression for Abraham's descendants (Genesis 15:13), and the beginning of the fulfillment of the covenant promise to Abraham that his descendants would not only live in the Promised Land, but would also multiply and become a great nation (Genesis 12:1-3, 7).
Katika majira ya Mungu, kuhama kwa Wanaisraeli kutoka Misri kuliashiria mwisho wa kipindi cha dhiki kwa kizazi cha Ibrahimu (Mwanzo 15:13), na mwanzo wa kutimiza ahadi ya agano kwa Ibrahimu kwamba kizazi chake kingekuwa si tu kuishi katika Nchi ya Ahadi, lakini pia kuzidisha na kuwa taifa kubwa (Mwanzo 12: 1-3, 7).
