Mosè e i 10 comandamenti
“In the second book of the Bible, called Exodus, is told the story of Moses and the exit of the people of Israel from the Egypt slavery. The Exodus is like a genetic code for the faith of the Jews and for the Christians. For Jews, in particular, the liberation from slavery of Egypt is the original, fundamental experience of salvation and revelation.
We can say that the whole Bible follows the scheme of this Book.”
