What does the Bible say about being called out of Egypt?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible, particularly in Hosea 11:1, speaks of God calling His people out of bondage, symbolically representing salvation through Jesus Christ.

In Hosea 11:1, God expresses His love for Israel by stating, 'When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.' This verse highlights the dual significance of God calling Israel out from literal Egyptian bondage and foreshadowing the deliverance of His people through Christ. This calling out is not merely historical; it symbolizes the spiritual liberation of believers from sin and death. The Israelites' exodus from Egypt is a representation of the greater salvation found in Jesus, who takes His people from the bondage of sin to eternal life. Thus, God's calling, rooted in love, conveys the profound mercy and grace evident throughout Scripture, beginning with His covenant with Israel and culminating in the work of Christ.
