And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
Exodus means going out and tells of the departure of Israel from Egypt. The verse stands in the history part of the book, in chapters 1 to 18. It falls within the account of Moses and Aaron's first appearance before Pharaoh, the renewed promises to Israel, and the first plagues at the beginning of Israel's deliverance.
At that time the family of Israel had grown more and mightier than the Egyptians, yet was in bitter bondage and oppression. The whole power of Egypt was set against them in that oppression and bondage. Hundreds of years of slavery had unfitted them to comprehend God's great salvation and the character He required. Through the first plagues God showed that Egypt's gods were powerless and that He was the true God. The mighty work of saving them with a mighty hand was creative power shown over again, with no such work ever done in saving any nation.
That deliverance made Israel into a nation with thorough organization, efficient leadership, a complete code of laws, and an established form of worship centered in the life of Moses as the chosen leader of Israel. It led to Israel's song of triumph beyond the Red Sea with the host of Egypt overthrown. It led God to give the sanctuary as a great multiple object-lesson by various forms and rites comprehending the great plan of salvation.
