God RESCUES His people
"My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth"
Psalm 121:2
In today’s true Bible story you will see that he Hebrew people had been forced to live and work in Egypt for a long time.
God wanted to give the Hebrew people their own place to live.
God had Moses tell the Egyptian leader, known as Pharaoh, to let God's people go.
However, he would not listen, so God sent many plagues on the Egyptian people to convince Pharaoh to let God's people go.
Let's find out if Pharaoh finally gave in.
