While sojourning in Egypt for 430 years, the nation of Israel did not have a personal knowledge as their forefathers had.

But they also needed to experience his holiness. This volume lays out the offerings of atonement by which they would gain such vital knowledge.

Where these two books differ, is only in a complementary manner by providing the exegeses on some of the matter raised in the Book of Exodus.
