In God's timing, the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt marked the end of a period of oppression for Abraham's descendants (Genesis 15:13), and the beginning of the fulfillment of the covenant promise to Abraham that his descendants would not only live in the Promised Land, but would also multiply and become a great nation (Genesis 12:1-3, 7).
Sa perpektong panahon ng Diyos, ang paglabas ng mga Israelita sa Egipto ang marka ng pagtatapos ng pangaalipin sa lahi ni Abraham (Genesis 15:13), at pasimula ng katuparan ng pangako ng Diyos kay Abraham na hindi lamang sila titira sa Lupang Pangako, kundi darami din sila at magiging isang dakilang bansa (Genesis 12:1-3, 7).
