As the partial Kingdom of God continues to unfold, through the story of Moses and the Exodus, God reveals that entrance into His Kingdom is by way of redemption which He alone provides. His first provision is seen in the 10th plague, where God's judgment passes over all who stay underneath the covering of the lamb's blood. His second provision is seen in crossing the Sea of Reeds (translated as Red Sea). In passing through the sea on dry ground, the people move from death to life, from bondage to freedom. They move from being people of a foreign land, to being people of God's Kingdom.

God is forming His people and leading them to His place (the Promised Land). Along the way, God is teaching the Israelites what it means to be people of His Kingdom.
