The book of Exodus may be seen as a beginning begun already in the book of the Beginnings, Genesis, and at the same time itself the beginning of a story that is even yet a long way from its end. For the book of Exodus is the beginning of the Old Testament, and therefore of the Bible; it is the account of the beginning of the nation of Israel, and therefore the account of the beginning of the kingdom of God–and the first confession of the coming of God that we Christians has come to call Incarnation.
