"Light from the Land of the Sphinx" by H. Forbes Witherby, published in 1896, is a Christian exposition that uses Egyptian archaeology and history to illuminate the biblical account of Israel's exodus. Drawing from ancient monuments, writings, and cultural practices, the book contrasts Egypt's polytheistic idolatry with God's monotheism and divine interventions.

It begins with Israel's captivity under Pharaoh Rameses, Moses' preparation in Midian, and the plagues as judgments on deities like Hapi and Ptah. The Passover symbolizes redemption, leading to liberation and the Red Sea crossing, typifying Christ's victory over evil.

The wilderness journey highlights provisions like manna and water from the rock (representing Christ), the Sabbath as divine rest, and law-giving at Sinai. Witherby explores the covenant, Moses' intercession during the golden calf rebellion, and the Tabernacle's construction, influenced by Egyptian arts.

Symbolism abounds: numbers (three for divinity, seven for perfection), cherubim, priesthood, and sacrifices (burnt, sin offerings) foreshadow New Testament truths. Feasts like Pentecost and Tabernacles serve as prophetic shadows.

Archaeological insights, such as Tell Amarna Tablets, enrich the narrative, emphasizing themes of judgment, mercy, holiness, and access to God through Christ. Overall, it portrays God's supremacy and the corruption of truths in Egyptian religion, offering spiritual lessons from history.
