Shemot tells the story of how a family became a nation called the Jewish People. The descendants of Jacob were away their homeland, living instead in Egypt. They grew and grew until they were no longer a family but a people. Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, became scared they would become so strong and powerful, they might rebel against him and take over Egypt. So he decided to make them his slaves. Then, just to be doubly sure they couldn\u2019t flourish, he ordered all male Israelite babies to be killed.<\/p>\n

Yocheved, a Jewish woman, saved her baby son by hiding him in a basket and placing him on the River Nile, hoping someone would find him and look after him. That baby was Moses. He was found and adopted by Pharaoh\u2019s daughter, and he grew up in Pharaoh’s royal household.<\/p>\n

Moses saved a Jewish slave from a harsh Egyptian taskmaster and then was forced to run away from Egypt to Midian, where he married Tzipporah, and became a shepherd.<\/p>\n

While looking after his sheep Moses discovered the Burning Bush, through which God spoke to him, giving him the mission of returning to Egypt to set the people free. Moses didn\u2019t feel he was the right man for the job, but he nervously agreed, and travelled back to Egypt, to carry out this task with the help of his brother Aaron.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Pharaoh response to Moses\u2019 request for the people\u2019s freedom was to increase the work expected of his Jewish slaves. The parsha ends with God telling Moses that He would soon act to save the people from Pharaoh.<\/p>\n
