Exodus 1:1 · Masoretic Text (WLC)
AMPLIFIED · 1 of 3
Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each came with his household:
Exodus falls into three clear movements. Chapters 1-4 are Moses's own story - born, exiled, called - what this course calls "the Saga of Moses." Chapters 5-18 widen out to the whole people's escape, the plagues and the sea. Chapters 19-40 - fully half the book - slow down almost to a standstill at one mountain, Sinai, for the covenant and the plans for God's dwelling place. The book spends as much time at Sinai as it does on the entire escape from Egypt; freedom was never the destination, only the road to it.

Today's memory verse · from this session
“Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; each came with his household:”
Exodus falls into three clear movements. Chapters 1-4 are Moses's own story - born, exiled, called - what this course calls "the Saga of Moses." Chapters 5-18 widen out to the whole people's escape, the plagues and the sea. Chapters 19-40 - fully half the book - slow down almost to a standstill at one mountain, Sinai, for the covenant and the plans for God's dwelling place. The book spends as much time at Sinai as it does on the entire escape from Egypt; freedom was never the destination, only the road to it.
