The Exodus Route

Moses delivered God’s people from bondage in Egypt, baptized them in the Red Sea, and led them to Mt. Sinai. Everything was going reasonable well until they built a golden calf to worship at the base of God’s holy mountain. Ultimately, that rebellious generation never got to see the promised land and wandered in the desert for 40 years.
