CHAPTER 13
THE EXODUS BIBLE STUDY LESSON
THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT EXPLAINED
It's so good to have you back again to find out what happens next as the children of
Israel begin their exodus from Egypt. We learned about the unleavened bread
and a little bit about the Passover celebration that God told the Hebrews to
observe each year, and now it's time for another Daily Bread Stick!
When God told Moses how He wanted Passover to be celebrated each year by the Hebrews, He
said, This month will be the first month of the year to you (Exodus 12:2).
Now that wasn't in January. In Hebrew, it's called Abib. The Hebrew
calendar has 360 days in the year. Over the centuries mankind (not God) has
found it necessary to create a calendar for their own convenience and have
disregarded the plan that the creator of time had in mind. The "new and
improved" calendar has even been changed a number of times and it seems that
because nobody knows the exact calculations of when one calendar was
retired and another implemented, it makes it very difficult to figure some
things out concerning dates.
THE EXODUS BIBLE STUDY PROPHECY
THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT TIMELINE
This much, we do know ... The current calendar that we use has 365 days in a year. Over a
period of 6000 years (which is an approximation of how long it's been since
the creation of man, you can understand why adding 5 days per year to God's
time clock of 360 days/year would cause the seasons to be out of place.
Now many say that it was necessary to "adjust" God's calendar because of the moon or some
such reason. Do you think "Father Time" didn't consider those things when
He created the world? Does He not know everything? He does. This is just
an example of how man can never, no matter how smart he thinks he is,
improve what God has done (1 Corinthians 1:25).
Now, back to our story. The Lord said to Moses, Sanctify unto me all the firstborn,
among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. What
does that mean ... Sanctify? Sanctify means to set apart for a sacred
purpose. It also means to free from sin or to purify. Moses will explain
this better in just a moment.
THE EXODUS BIBLE STUDY QUESTIONS
THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT ANSWERS
Moses spoke to the people and told them again about keeping the service of the Passover and
the unleavened bread. He told them to pass this on to their children and
when their children ask why, to tell them it's because of the greatness of
the Lord when He brought the children of Israel out of Egypt.
Moses' way of relating to the Hebrews, what God said, was just so awesome. Here is an
example of that, concerning Passover. "And it shall be for a sign unto thee
upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Lord's law
may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out
of Egypt. Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in His season from year
to year."
Moses then explained in detail about sanctifying the firstborn. God saved the
firstborn of the Israelites during the Passover, so every firstborn belongs
to Him. Of every firstborn that comes from a beast, the males are the
Lord's. They must be sacrificed to God. Every firstborn mule should be
substituted with a lamb to sacrifice, and if they didn't, the mule's neck
must be broken. Of course, God didn't want them to kill the children as a
sacrifice to him, as the lambs are but for every firstborn child a sacrifice
must be made. Leviticus 12:6-8 explains that a firstling lamb and a young
pigeon or turtledove was redeemed for the child and offered to God, but if a
lamb couldn't be given, then two turtledoves or two pigeons would be
offered.
THE EXODUS BIBLE STUDY RESEARCH
THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT EVENTS
Now when Pharaoh let the people go, God didn't lead them through the land of the
Philistines even though it was the shortest route. God thought that if the
Hebrews saw war there they would regret and return to Egypt. Instead, God
led the people through the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea and they
went out of the land of Egypt armed.
Listen to this. This shows the integrity that the man of Moses possessed. When he
left Egypt, Moses took the bones of Joseph (Jacob's son) with him
because before Joseph died, he made an oath with his children saying that
God would surely come to visit (help) them and "ye shall carry up my bones
from hence." (Genesis 50:25)
You may remember that, and think, "That is so
considerate of him," but when you think of the responsibility that Moses had
on his shoulders and to do all that it involved to exhume and transport a
man's bones who died over 400 years past, is truly admirable.
They left Succoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the wilderness. The Lord led the
way in front of them in a pillar of a cloud and by night in a pillar of fire
so they could travel day and night.
THE EXODUS BIBLE STUDY SUMMARY
THE EXODUS FROM EGYPT CONCLUSION
Just imagine it. You are with 600,000 of your relatives and people. You've just been
freed from slavery that your family and people have endured for 430 years.
You have taken the Egyptians riches with you and you're on your way to the
Promised Land with the Lord leading the way in front of you in a cloud by
day and fire by night. You have no food except unleavened bread. You're
about to follow an 80 year old man who is going to take you (on foot) about
600 miles. It's quite a scenario.
If you hadn't seen the wonders that God performed in Egypt with your own eyes, you might
be thinking about finding a new travel agent, but with bricks and no straw
on the one hand, and a land flowing with milk and honey on the other,
traveling with God looks like the definite choice to make.
Let's continue following Moses and the children of Israel as they travel through the
wilderness in our next Daily Bread.
