EXODUS
Redemption of Israel and Call to Worship
Notes
-
° The patriarch Jaco had brought his family to Egypt to avoid starvation.
When the Hyksos invaded Egypt and gained political power, the descendants of
Jacob were forced into slavery.
° The primary emphasis in Genesis was on the family of Abraham, but the Book
of Exodus focuses on the developing nation of Israel.
° Why the plagues? They were God’s battle with the gods of Egypt. Each
plague was directed against a particular god in Egypt.
° The Passover is the oldest religious holy day or holiday in continuous
celebration. It sets forth redemption by blood. God delivered His people
out of Egypt by blood and power.
° The book of Exodus describes the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, their
journey to Mount Sinai, events that occurred during their life there, and the
building of the Tabernacle.
° The main theme of Exodus is redemption. The deliverance of the children of
Israel from bondage in Egypt is a type of redemption, and Moses who led them
is an image of Christ.
