BOOK OF EXODUS
This is the Biblical passage that the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison claimed made every slave owner or seller guilty of a capital crime.
For Christians and Jews, this statement has formed a moral obligation to not oppress immigrants and asylum seekers.
Gun control opponents quote this passage to give more legitimacy to all people being armed. God told the Jews, His chosen people, that every man should be armed. Gun control some argue goes against the will of God.
The Book of Exodus is the second book of the Torah and of the Old Testament. Starting with the deliverance of Moses by Pharaoh's daughter, it recounts the revelation at the Burning bush where he was called by Yahweh to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian slavery. After Pharaoh rejected his and Aaron's demands, according to the book, the Almighty inflicted ten Plagues on Egypt resulting in the Exodus. The Mosaic covenant was made at the biblical Mount Sinai, and subsequently the Tabernacle, with a "divine indwelling" of God with Israel.
