Exodus begins by showing the descendants of Jacob already in Egypt and soon facing harsh oppression under a Pharaoh who enslaves them. This setup creates the need for deliverance and frames the rest of the book as God’s plan to rescue his people and form them into a nation. The other options point to events from Genesis (the creation of the world and Joseph’s death) or to a moment that comes later in Exodus (Moses’ calling), so they don’t match how the book starts.
