This book is as exciting as Genesis. The family of Israel has grown and become a problem with the new Pharaoh. With a quick peek back in Genesis, the Lord had positioned Joseph to save his family. This was the family, chosen by God, to bring salvation to the world. Joseph’s relationship with Pharoah died with him. Looking in Genesis, the people had sold their lives into slavery for food and survival. This decision is where the Book of Exodus begins. Decisions made under duress were not easily negotiated again. Israel’s family, if you remember, were given the best land and many privileges, even though they were strangers. This new Pharaoh perhaps considered this as a disadvantage to his people. After reading Genesis, the Lord consistently reminded the patriarchs of His promise to return the people to Canaan. In Exodus, we discover the Lord is about to fulfill His promise. One consistent theme we will find throughout is how important circumcision is before any leadership change. This one act of obedience is key to allowing God to bring success to each leader. In Exodus, we have the development of the priesthood. We have the family ties to some of our bible stories, like Samuel, the boy who heard God but needed understanding. The family of the priest who counseled him, and the sons who were not cut out for the priesthood. There was also a rebellion against Moses and Aaron’s leadership. The leader is a son of Aaron. There are many leadership failures by Moses and Aaron. There is so much to learn from this book. The questions in this book will, at times, refer to other scriptures for the answers. When reading scripture, it is important to not only read but build a continuous thread throughout.
