Liberation (Exodus)

Exodus should have really been translated as "Liberation," because that is what the word means in the original Hebrew-Aramaic language: "Map-qa-nah". Exodus implies that the Children of Israel were ousted, when in fact they were liberated by the Lord, to become a nation that would serve his purpose, and they did serve his purpose.

I am now back to translating the Book of Exodus. I had stopped translating it after I completed Chapter 21, but now I see the need to return to it. I had begun translating the Book of Isaiah because I wished to translate more about the coming of the Messiah; however, recent events in the US Justice System made me realize the importance of the laws that were given to Moses and the Ten Commandments.
