Why did the Israelite tribes leave Egypt
Answers
Egyptians were horrified at the deaths of their sons and urged the Israelites to leave hastily before any more people died. Here, Pharaoh is standing on the battlements, commanding the Israelites to leave Egypt. The Israelites are leaving with their right hands raised and some are carrying lumps of dough. Moses had reminded his people that they had to leave in a hurry, and that their bread dough would not have time to rise. They were therefore told to make 'unleavened' bread (bread made without yeast) To commemorate this, unleavened bread is eaten by Jewish people during the Passover festival.

Explanation:
It begins with the Israelites in slavery. Their prophet Moses leads them out of Egypt and through the wilderness to Mount Sinai, where Yahweh reveals himself to his people and establishes the Mosaic covenant: they are to keep his torah (i.e. law, instruction), and in return he will give them the land of Canaan.
