This page will also discuss Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy and Joshua for convenience.

Exodus - 400 years after the Israelites' migration to Egypt at the end of Genesis, a new pharaoh subjects them to slavery and has all their newborn children killed. One baby escapes and is found by pharaoh's daughter and named Moses. As an adult, he kills an overseer for beating an Israelite and flees to the desert. He settles down into the life of a shepherd when he is called by God to liberate his brethren.

Leviticus - The guide book about how the Israelites are to properly worship God.

Numbers - The Israelites are on their way to ThePromisedLand. Moses, with God's help, guides his people to the land flowing with milk and honey while battling hostile nomadic peoples and internal dissension. ItGetsWorse

Deuteronomy - [[AuthorFilibuster Moses' last instructions to the new generation of Israelites about to enter Canaan]].

Joshua - Moses and the previous generation of Israelites are dead and its up to Joshua to lead the new generation in conquering the Promised Land.

!!These books contain the following tropes:
* AmbiguouslyJewish: In rabbinical tradition, Moses was never circumcised, hence why he wasn't allowed into the Promised Land. Freud theorized that Moses wasn't Jewish at all, but Egyptian royalty that for some reason [[DefectorFromDecadence threw in with their lot]].
** [[DidNotDoTheResearch According to Exodus]] Moses was not allowed into the promised land because of his disobedience to God in his leadership of the Isrealites. Circumcision had nothing to do with it.
* BittersweetEnding: The Israelites conquer Canaan but it's foretold the next generation will be unfaithful to God. Moses only sees a bit of the Promised Land and dies soon after.
* ChurchMilitant: Contrary to what you see in TheTenCommandments, the worshipers of the golden calf were not swallowed up by the earth. God had Moses command the Levite priests to slaughter them.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Pharaoh in sharp contrast to two Hebrew midwives identified by name.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Exodus describes an exodus. Deuteronomy means "second law".
* HeroicBlueScreenOfDeath: After Joshua's failed attack on Ai.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Pharaoh.
* KillItWithWater: Drowning Pharaoh's army in the Red Sea.
* LyricalDissonance: The song of Moses (Deut. 32:1-43) which was sung as the Israelites finally entered the Promised Land. In the passages beforehand, God had flat out told Moses that his people were going to mess up badly in the end, and gave the song to Moses as a reminder of what they needed to do once that day came to repent. Nevertheless, it's about as uplifting as a kick in the balls.
* MosesInTheBullrushes - The TropeNamer.

* BittersweetEnding: Deuteronomy. The Israelites finally enter Canaan with assurances that they will conquer it but it's foretold the next generation will be unfaithful to God. Moses only sees a bit of the Promised Land and dies soon after.
