The uniqueness of the story of the deliverance of the Jewish people from Egypt needs some historical context. The Egyptian monarchy was the most dominant kingdom in that stage of history. The Jewish people were nothing more than a large family that went down to Egypt in order to find sustenance during a great famine that lasted 7 years. But 70 people very quickly grew into a nation of a few million people in a matter of a few hundred years. Pharaoh enslaved them in order to keep control over the Jewish population. But, God heard the cries of his people and took them out via a litany of miracles that broke the back of the Egyptian kingdom.
This led to a breakdown of the dominance of the Egyptian monarchy and the deliverance of the Jewish people from bondage. God then led the Jewish people through Moses into the wilderness and gave them the Covenant, the Bible, at Mt. Sinai. 40 years of miraculous living in the desert culminated with the Jewish people crossing the Jordan River into the Land of Israel. But the miracles in Egypt are the source of all of Jewish belief.
