Exodus 1:9,10 "Look," he said to his people, "the Israelites have become much too numerous for us.Come, we must deal shrewdly with them or they will become even more numerous and, if war breaks out, will join our enemies, fight against us and leave the country." Exodus 1:11 So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh. Exodus 1:14 They made their lives bitter with hard labor in brick and mortar and with all kinds of work in the fields; in all their hard labor the Egyptians used them ruthlessly. Exodus 1:16,17 “When you help the Hebrew women in childbirth and observe them on the delivery stool, if it is a boy, kill him; but if it is a girl, let her live.” The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live. Exodus 1:22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: "Every boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live." Exodus 2:1-4 Now a man of the house of Levi married a Levite woman, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him for three months But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. His sister stood at a distance to see what would happen to him. Exodus 2:5,6 Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her slave girl to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. "This is one of the Hebrew babies," she said. Exodus 2:10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. Acts 7:22 Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was powerful in speech and action. Hebrews 11:24-26 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh‘s daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin. . . He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. for a short time. Exodus 2:11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people. Exodus 2:12 Glancing this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. Acts 7:22 Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not. Exodus 2:15a When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh… Exodus 2:15b-17 . . . and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well. Now a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came to draw water and fill the troughs to water their father's flock. Some shepherds came along and drove them away, but Moses got up and came to their rescue and watered their flock. Exodus 2:23,24 The Israelites groaned in their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. Exodus 3:1,2 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Exodus 3:7,8 The LORD said, [1]"I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. [2] I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, [3] and I am concerned about their suffering. [4] So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians. Exodus 3:10 So now, go. [5] I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt." Exodus 3:11 But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" Exodus 3:12 And God said, "I will be with you.” Exodus 3:13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?" Exodus 3:14 This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'" Exodus 4:1 Moses answered, "What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, 'The LORD did not appear to you'?" Exodus 4:2-4 Then the LORD said to him, "What is that in your hand?" "A staff," he replied. The LORD said, "Throw it on the ground." Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. Then the LORD said to him, "Reach out your hand and take it by the tail." So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. Exodus 4:10 Moses said to the LORD, "O Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue." Exodus 4:11 The LORD said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the LORD? Exodus 4:13 But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it.“ Exodus 4:14-15 Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. . . You shall speak to him and put words in his mouth. . . " Exodus 4:19,22,23 Now the LORD had said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who wanted to kill you are dead." Then say to Pharaoh, 'This is what the LORD says: Israel is my firstborn son, and I told you, "Let my son go, so he may worship me." But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.'" Exodus 5:1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.'" Exodus 5:6-8 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave drivers and foremen in charge of the people: “You are no longer to supply the people with straw for making bricks; let them go and gather their own straw. But require them to make the same number of bricks as before; don't reduce the quota. They are lazy; that is why they are crying out, 'Let us go and sacrifice to our God.' Exodus 5:19-21 The Israelite foremen realized they were in trouble when they were told, "You are not to reduce the number of bricks required of you for each day." When they left Pharaoh, they found Moses and Aaron waiting to meet them, and they said, "May the LORD look upon you and judge you! You have made us a stench to Pharaoh and his officials and have put a sword in their hand to kill us." Exodus 6:1 Afterward Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said, "This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'Let my people go, so that they may hold a festival to me in the desert.'" Exodus 6:30 & 7:1 But Moses said to the LORD, "Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?" Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet." Exodus 7:12,13 Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs. Yet Pharaoh's heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said. Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I have called my son.” Matthew 2:14-15 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son." Exodus 7:20 Moses and Aaron did just as the LORD had commanded. He raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the water of the Nile, and all the water was changed into. . . blood Exodus 8:6 So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land. Exodus 8:17 They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, gnats came upon men and animals. All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became . . . gnats. Exodus 8:24 And the LORD did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh's palace and into the houses of his officials, and throughout Egypt land was ruined by the flies. Exodus 9:3 If you refuse to let them go and continue to hold them back, the hand of the LORD will bring a terrible plague on your livestock Exodus 9:10-11 So they took soot from a furnace and stood before Pharaoh. Moses tossed it into the air, and festering broke out on men and animals. boils Hail Exodus 9:24 fell and lightning flashed back and forth.

Exodus 11:1 Now the LORD had said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. Exodus 11:5 Every firstborn son in Egypt will die from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl… Exodus 12:12 On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn-- both men and animals– and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.

Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household. Exodus 12:6-7 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. Exodus 12:8,11 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover. Exodus 12:29 At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. Exodus 12:31 During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested. 1900 1800 1700 1600 Exodus 12:40,41 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years. 1400 1300 1200 1100 1000 900 1 Kings 6:1 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt. Exodus 13:3,14 Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the LORD brought you out of it with a mighty hand. . . Redeem every firstborn among your sons. . . . In days to come, when your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' say to him, 'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. Exodus 13:18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. Exodus 14:19,20 The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Exodus 14:5,6 "What have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!“ So he had his chariot made ready and took his army with him. Dr. James Hoffmeier Exodus 13:18, 20 & 24:2 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of Egypt armed for battle. After leaving Succoth they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert. "Tell the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly opposite Baal Zephon.” Exodus14:21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided. . . Exodus 14:22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. Exodus 14:28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen-- the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea. Not one of them survived. 1 Corinthians 10:1,2 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.. Exodus 15:1,21 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: "I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea."
