During the period between Genesis and Exodus, Israel had become a nation while in Egypt. This book opens with the nation's bondage there and the preparation of Moses to be their deliverer and mediator. The book continues with God's supernatural judgment upon Egypt by plagues and the redemption of Israel by the blood of the Passover lamb. At Mt. Sinai the law was received, and the book closed with the Glory of God coming to dwell among the people when the Tabernacle of Moses was finished. Throughout this book we will see that God desires to dwell among His people, but this can only happen on His terms.
Redemption is made possible only by the blood of the sacrifice.
That is an overall summary of the book of Exodus. So let us begin in Exodus chapter 1. There are many principles in these chapters, and we are just going to touch on a few in each one. We will see how they pertain to us today. In chapter 1, the book begins with the children in bondage.
