https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ7CMywnToQ&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=17 After five sermons upon the Passover night and its deep significance to Israel going forward, the narrative of Exodus now follows the Israelites as they make their way out of Egypt. Here the stubborn, hard-heartedness of Pharaoh will cause the king to chase after his runaway slaves. Though triumphant for a moment, the Israelites …

https://youtu.be/0hdxGNH3SI0 Last week, we skipped over verses 1-2 because they go along with verses 10-16 in describing the consecration of Israel’s firstborn. As you will no doubt notice, our present text has many similarities with our previous one. The LORD specifically inaugurated the annual Passover meal and Feast of Unleavened Bread so that the Israelites …

However, as we said of Moses and Aaron's genealogy in chapter 6, the authorial intent behind writing Exodus was not …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuBszV7VMFM&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=14 Here at last, after all the prophesies and predictions given, we now have before us the account of two of the most significant events in both the book of Exodus as well as the Bible as a whole: the tenth plague and the exodus. Although it may seem strange that these things that have …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbFrOQV4scM&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=13 After warning Pharaoh of the tenth and final plague, the death of the firstborn, Moses took his leave from the king of Egypt once for all. Although Pharaoh still would not listen, the LORD Himself was coming down into Egypt at midnight and Israel would soon be driven out of the land; therefore, Moses …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7QA7zp5j8c&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=12 Following the explosiveness of the first nine plagues, we come now to a very short chapter that serves as an interlude before the tenth and final plague is poured out upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt. Here Moses concludes his dialogue with Pharaoh for good, promising a great wail of death throughout Egypt to come. …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLS1INUuj88&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=11 After moving through the first two three-plague cycles, we come now to the final set of three: the plagues of hail, locust, and darkness. WHOEVER FEARED THE WORD OF THE LORD // VERSES 13-35 As we have seen, the LORD’s plagues against Pharaoh and the land of Egypt have been intensifying each time. First, …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJWTYOfiShs&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=10 Last week we began to study the ten great plagues that the LORD brought upon the land of Egypt in response to Pharaoh’s stubborn refusal to let God’s people go. We continue here with the second set of three plagues, and there is indeed textual evidence for viewing the first nine plagues as three …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tSfs20ebM0&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=8 Last week we observed God's second revelation of Himself to Moses, and we should note that such there is a similar repetition to all of chapters 5-6. You see, in chapters 1-4, we find this overall pattern: God's people suffer and cry out, God hears their cry and reveals Himself to Moses, and God …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTCSEw9RuTQ&list=PLpjdHYmZ6tSRMhkmO6aSl0uKTt6uVsXU5&index=7 Chapter 5 began with the long-awaited meeting of Moses and Pharaoh; however, the splendid sparks that the exodus story is so known for scarcely flew. Rather than beginning Egypt’s ruin by the hand of God, the brief encounter ended with the king of Egypt tightening his tyrannical grip upon the Hebrews even further by …
