In our third episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 5-6. If you make your way to the end of the episode, here’s an update: Andrei is not currently 3-0 in fantasy football. He is 4-2, and he is in third place in the league.
Today’s conversation:
- Pharaoh’s response to the words of God through Aaron and Moses
- Properly thinking about the popular “let my people go” phrase
- “I am the Lord” in the rest of the book of Exodus
- An even harder work burden on the Israelites
- Rivalry between two authorities: God and Pharaoh—a theme throughout Scripture; the seed of the serpent
- Who will Israel “serve”?
- God’s way to comfort: a reminder of Israel’s past—the forefathers
- Another theme for the entire Bible: the kinsman-redeemer
- What does it mean that God did not make Himself known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by His name (6:3)?
- The Lord is the One who delivers
- An important genealogy (and Douglas Stuart’s 7 purposes)
