סיפור יציאת מצרים

Several times in נ”ך the story of יציאת מצרים is recounted.  The first time is at the end of the Book of Joshua, 24: 1-15.  This is a prelude to Joshua’s challenge to the Israelites that they will not remain faithful in their service to יי, and the Israelites reaffirm their devotion to יי and make a new covenant with יי.

Other notable recountings of the story of יציאת מצרים are found in Psalms: 78 and 106-107 (I see 107 as a continuation of 106).

As I go through נ”ך this year I will add any other recountings that I find.  Clearly the purpose of my pointing this out is to compare the different tellings of the story.
