Egzodus

Za ostala značenja, vidi Egzodus (razvrstavanje).

Egzodus ili Yetsi'at Mitsrayim (hebrejski: יציאת מצרים, tiberijski: jəs^ʕijaθ mis^ʕɾajim, "izlazak iz Egipta") je izraz kojim se opisuje Egzodus Izraelita iz Egipta. Riječ je o hebrejskim ratnicima koji su u Egiptu postali radnici, a često se opisuju kao robovi. Oni su Egipat napustili pod vodstvom Mojsija i Aarona kako bi se vratili u Zemlju Izrael, što je opisano u biblijskoj Knjizi Izlaska. Ti događaji služe kao podloga za židovski blagdan Pashu.

Me'am Loez on Beshallach IV Arhivirano 2006-03-19 na Wayback Machine-u: Me'am Loez on Beshallach IV: 50 Miracles, no. 7, says that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea in twelve paths, one for each of the tribes, and cites Ps. 136:13 which has it that the Red Sea was divided into parts during the Exodus.
The Book of Jasher: The midrashic Book of Jasher is a candidate for being the "Book of Jasher" mentioned twice in the Jewish Bible, and while this seems unlikely, at least in its present form, it does seem to have been available as rabbinic literature for some centuries. While it is not shy to relate rather embellished-sounding versions of early biblical tales, Jasher 81:38 has it that the Red Sea was divided into 12 parts and the Israelites crossed as if on dry land, but this version of the crossing is, remarkably, lacking in other miraculous embellishment - which would tend to be preferred, to apply usual methods of textual analysis, except that the rabbinical sources are of unknown antiquity. It seems an unusual innovation for a rabbi to strip the biblical story of its miraculous trappings, had not a text of great renown at some point been the tradition's origin.
Rashi's Commentary: The regarded eleventh century Talmud scholar called 'Rashi' made the comment that the Red Sea had been split "asunder in twelve pieces for the twelve tribes" to his commentary on the Psalms.
