Yet the structure of Exodus wants us to see that this what all the marvelous works that God did …
https://youtu.be/v3AJA29EtnI Our previous text, as we noted, is one of the most important passages in all of Scripture, which is evidenced by the frequency with which it is cited elsewhere in the Bible.
