96:3.1 The beginning of the [[evolution]] of the [[Hebraic]] [[concepts]] and [[ideals]] of a Supreme [[Creator]] dates from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exodus departure of the Semites from Egypt] under that great [[leader]], [[teacher]], and organizer, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses]. His [[mother]] was of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_family royal family] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt]; his [[father]] was a Semitic [[liaison]] officer between the [[government]] and the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin Bedouin] captives. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] thus possessed [[qualities]] derived from superior [[racial]] [[sources]]; his [[ancestry]] was so highly blended that it is impossible to classify him in any one racial [[group]]. Had he not been of this mixed type, he would never have displayed that unusual [[versatility]] and [[adaptability]] which enabled him to manage the [[diversified]] horde which [[eventually]] became associated with those [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin Bedouin] Semites who [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Exodus fled from Egypt to the Arabian desert] under his [[leadership]].

96:3.2 Despite the enticements of the [[culture]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Kingdom Nile kingdom], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] elected to cast his lot with the people of his [[father]]. At the time this great organizer was formulating his [[plans]] for the [[eventual]] [[Liberation|freeing]] of his father's people, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin Bedouin] captives hardly had a [[religion]] worthy of the name; they were virtually without a true [[concept]] of [[God]] and without [[hope]] in the world.

96:3.3 No [[leader]] ever undertook to reform and uplift a more forlorn, downcast, dejected, and [[ignorant]] [[group]] of [[human beings]]. But these [[slaves]] carried latent [[possibilities]] of [[development]] in their hereditary strains, and there were a sufficient number of [[educated]] [[leaders]] who had been coached by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] in [[preparation]] for the day of revolt and the strike for [[liberty]] to [[constitute]] a corps of efficient organizers. These superior men had been employed as [[native]] overseers of their people; they had received some [[education]] because of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses]' [[influence]] with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_pharaohs Egyptian rulers].

96:3.4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] endeavored to [[negotiate]] [[diplomatically]] for the [[freedom]] of his fellow [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semites Semites]. He and his brother entered into a compact with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_of_the_Exodus king of Egypt] whereby they were granted permission peaceably to leave the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley valley of the Nile] for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabian_Desert Arabian Desert]. They were to receive a modest payment of [[money]] and goods in token of their long [[service]] in Egypt. The [[Hebrews]] for their part entered into an [[agreement]] to maintain friendly relations with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaohs_of_Egypt Pharaohs] and not to join in any [[alliance]] against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt]. But the [[king]] later saw fit to repudiate this [[treaty]], giving as his [[reason]] the excuse that his spies had [[discovered]] disloyalty among the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin Bedouin] [[slaves]]. He claimed they sought [[freedom]] for the [[purpose]] of going into the [[desert]] to organize the [[nomads]] against [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt].

96:3.5 But [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] was not discouraged; he bided his [[time]], and in less than a year, when the Egyptian [[military]] forces were fully occupied in resisting the [[simultaneous]] onslaughts of a strong [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Libya Libyan] thrust from the south and a [[Greek]] naval [[invasion]] from the north, this intrepid [[organizer]] led his compatriots out of Egypt in a spectacular night flight. This dash for [[liberty]] was carefully [[planned]] and [[skillfully]] [[executed]]. And they were successful, notwithstanding that they were hotly pursued by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_of_the_Exodus Pharaoh] and a small body of Egyptians, who all fell before the fugitives' [[defense]], yielding much booty, all of which was augmented by the loot of the advancing host of [[escaping]] [[slaves]] as they marched on toward their [[ancestral]] [[desert]] [[home]].
