The story of the Exodus has been consistently misinterpreted for millennia; it has been considered as history when, in fact, it is a spiritual treatise based on an astronomical metaphor. The Exodus is the movement of the equinoctial sun from the constellation Taurus to the constellation Aries, which occurred around 2,000 BCE, and not the unlikely passage of an estimated two million Hebrews from Egypt to Canaan, a supposed event for which little (if any) archaeological evidence can be found. The book introduces the reader to the concept of astrological ages and explores the importance of number and astrology in the ancient world. It considers the spiritual meaning of the story's various components, and the significance of the story to our developing understanding of God. An appendix details the astronomical, mythological and astrological meaning of each of the zodiacal signs. Bill Darlison is the Minister Emeritus of Dublin Unitarian Church.
