The overall theme of Exodus is redemption—how God delivered the Israelites and made them His special people. After He rescued them from slavery, God provided the Law, which gave instructions on how the people could be consecrated or made holy.
Notice verse 1 of Exodus 20. “And God spoke all these words….” We saw in Exodus 19:19 that when God spoke to Moses that the sound was the sound of thunder. Thunder is a loud and frightening noise.
This part of the Exodus story (Exodus 19:16-19), comes from the Yahwist tradition and is part of a larger narrative where God speaks with Moses at Mt Sinai and then later gives him the Covenant Code, which we commonly refer to as the Ten Commandments.

The plagues are: water turning to blood, frogs, lice, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and the killing of firstborn children. The question of whether Bible stories can be linked to archaeological discoveries is one that has long fascinated scholars.
