Israel was in slavery in Egypt for a long time. God delivered them through Moses who gave them the Law which gave rules to their society. Some of these rules we still keep today, like “you shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Others often seem weird to us like “anything in the seas or the streams that does not have fins and scales…you shall not eat” (Leviticus 11:10-11).
