Does anyone remember the 'Silence to Exodus' track? By B Lewis 1992?

What is it about and why is there a man singing in the background?
It sounds like a religion in the background?

What Exodus are they referring to, is it not in the Bible?

Thanks

They are referring too Exodus in the Bible. When Moses led his people out of Egypt. There is abook of Exodus in the Bible. Exodus means a journey of a large group of people.

Article: Exodus (soundtrack)
The main theme from the film has been widely remixed and covered by many artists. A version by Ferrante & Teicher went all the way to number 2 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Another notable version was recorded by jazz saxophonist Eddie Harris. Other versions were recorded by Mantovani, Peter Nero, Connie Francis, and the Duprees, who sang the theme with lyrics written by Pat Boone Other artists include Gospel pianist Anthony Burger (in the Gaither Vocal Band's "I Do Believe"), techno-crossover pianist Maksim and T.I. as a sample for Bankhead. Trey Spruance of the Secret Chiefs 3 rescored the theme for "surf band and orchestra" on the album 2004 Book of Horizons. Howard Stern uses it for comedic effect when discussing aspects of Jewish life. A sample of the Exodus was used also in Ice-T´s song Exodus from the Album 7 Deadly Sin, and Nas's song "You're Da Man" from the album Stillmatic. A portion of the main title was included in a montage arranged by composer John Williams and performed at the 2002 Academy Awards ceremony.

In "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues" a Bob Dylan character says

To my knowledge there's just one man that's really and truly an American, that's George Lincoln Rockwell: I know for a fact he hates Commies 'cause he picketed the movie Exodus.[5]

Dylan performed this song in the early 60s, but it wasn't officially released until 1991's The Bootleg Series 1-3. El Da Sensei's song Crowd Pleasa uses the sample of Andy Williams-The Exodus Song
