These are similar to the first and second part of Exodus according to Gordon Wenham (2003, p. 58). These sections of Exodus includes the Israelites’ escape from slavery and the Mosaic Covenant. The themes, however, do not involve the story of Moses, the Mosaic Covenant, the ten plagues, and the Passover. Noth’s themes imply that the Lord helped the Israelite to escape slavery and destroyed the Egyptians. He, however, disregarded the negotiations with Pharaoh and also the life of Moses before…

Israel point to how they were able to move forward under the leadership of Joshua after the death of Moses. Just as in the past relationship of God and Moses, we see that God has promised to continue that relationship with Joshua as he leads the Israelites to take possession of the land that God had promised.

Mesopotamians and Israelites may seem to be vastly different societies due to their separate development, but in actuality both are shockingly similar with several instances of cultural overlap.

Abraham. God placed the infant Israelite, Moses, in Pharaoh’s household, speaks to Moses, uses Moses to free the Israelites and finally taught the Israelites of God’s laws in these chapters. God’s covenant to Abraham included all of Abraham’s decedents taking over the land and obtaining the covenant. From Abraham to Isaac to Jacob and all the way to Moses, God carried this covenant through the descendants of Abraham. He uses Moses to stay true to his promise. The Israelites were under great…

the event that happened when God sent Moses to free His people, the Israelites, from the bondage of the ancient Egyptians (Exodus 3:10). The Exodus consisted of plagues, each sent because the Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites be free from their oppression (Ex. 7.4-7). The Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians because there was a rapid increase of the number of Israelites and the Egyptians were worried that the Israelites would turn against them and attempt to take over (Ex. 1:6-11). The…

David was eighteen years old when Saul hired him as a musician and his permanent armor-bearer. The Israelites and were Philistines in the midst of a confrontation. Goliath of Gath, a Philistine, stepped out every day and challenged a single warrior to combat, but the Israelites were afraid.

back on it generations from now. When the Israelites faced hard times, they would be able to look back and think about how they are standing with the God who delivered them out of Egypt (10:2). Wanting to bring the Israelites to himself can be further summarized when one knows that God does all things for good. Romans 8:28 states, “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.” The Israelites were the people who loved God and…

sandals in the presence of the burning bush. Nyssa goes on in this section to say that at this meeting with God, Moses was transformed from a shepherd to a mighty man who has the power to “help others to salvation.” Moses is God’s instrument to the Israelite people, and in this burning bush encounter his staff…
