Background to Exodus
11
Joseph's Death
(the last verse of Genesis)
"So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten.
And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a
coffin in Egypt" (5026)
But what about God's promise of a land?

Title
99

• The English title Exodus ("a going out")
  transliterates the Greek title Exodus, from ek,
  "out," and odoj, "way" exit, departure, or
  going out.
• Israel's leaving Egypt takes only a few chapters,
  but this key emphasis in the book makes "Exodus"
  a fitting title.

What does it take to form a nation?

Argument
100

• To become a nation Israel needed three things
• (1) freedom
• (2) government
• (3) land
• Exodus records the first two of these three
  needs.
• The only national characteristic lacking is a
  land, which is secured in the Book of Joshua.

strike down every firstbornboth men and animals
and I will bring judgment on
all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD."
Exodus 1212 (NIV)
55
Recalling the Exodus Significance
"The Israelites set out from Rameses on the
fifteenth day of the first month, the day after
the Passover. They marched out boldly in full
view of all the Egyptians, who were burying all
their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck down
among them"

The Exodus Took Faith!
I think you have some serious faith issues.
62
Why is the Exodus so significant?

• God is more powerful than Egypt's gods (1229,
  37)!
• God fulfilled his promise to the day (1240-41
  cf. Gen. 1515)
• Typology of Passover lamb (123-5, 27, 43, 46
  cf. John 129 1936 1 Cor. 57-8)

63
Hebrew Calendars
The Exodus Night While the Israelites were
still in the land of Egypt, the LORD gave the

darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the
Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins."
Colossians 113-14 (NIV)
90
1 Corinthians 101-4 (NLT)
"I don't want you to forget, dear brothers and
sisters, about our ancestors in the wilderness
long ago. All of them were guided by a cloud that
moved ahead of them, and all of them walked
through the sea on dry ground. 2In the cloud and
in the sea, all of them were baptized as
followers of Moses. 3All of them ate the same
spiritual food, 4and all of them drank the same
spiritual water. For they drank from the
spiritual rock that traveled with them, and that
rock was Christ."

"Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant,

Summary Statement
Exodus
98
Israel's formation as a nation begins under God
as King by a miraculous redemption from Egypt and
revelation of the Mosaic Law to provide a kingdom
over which a descendant of Judah could rule and
to promote holiness and trust in God.

Contrasting Two Key Covenants
116
Abrahamic Mosaic
Recipient (Date Place) Abraham as mediator for all nations in 2060 BC at Ur of the Chaldees Moses as mediator for Israel in 1445 BC at Mount Sinai
Scripture Genesis 121-3 (but formalized into a covenant in Genesis 15) Exodus 2031 is the heart of the covenant
Between God A person (for a future nation) A nation
Scope Universal ("all peoples will be blessed through you") Only Israel received the Law (Deut. 48 Ps. 14720)
108
Contrasting Two Key Covenants
116
Abrahamic Mosaic
Promises Land, seed, and blessing (without indication of time of fulfillment) Blessing for obedience and cursing for disobedience (Lev. 26 Deut. 28)
Conditions Unconditional "I will" Conditional "If you willthen I will"
Partici-pation Abraham asleep (Gen. 1517) Israel agreed to obey (Exod. 198)
Analogy Father to son (royal grant) Suzerain (superior king) to vassal (servant nation)
109
Contrasting Two Key Covenants
116
Abrahamic Mosaic
Form Oral (no written stipulations) Written on tablets of stone Pentateuch
Emphasis Blessing over discipline/judgment (five "blessings" in Gen. 121-3) Judgment/discipline over blessing (contrast Deut. 281-14 2815-68)
Christ Ultimate seed (Gen. 123) Typified in tabernacle (Heb. 810)

"Old" Replaced by "New"
NTS 266hh
Wayne Grudem, Systematic Theology, 521
"What then is the 'old covenant' in contrast with
the 'new covenant' in Christ? It is not the
whole of the Old Testament, because the covenants
with Abraham and David are never called 'old' in
the New Testament. Rather, only the covenant
under Moses, the covenant made at Mount Sinai
(Ex. 19-24) is called the 'old covenant' (2 Cor.
314 cf. Heb. 86, 13), to be replaced by the
"new covenant" in Christ (Luke 2220 1 Cor.
1125 2 Cor. 36 Heb. 88, 13 915 1224)."

Law as applicable in every sense
Law as not applicable in every sense
This chart summarizes Stanley N. Gundry, ed. Five
Views on Law and Gospel (Grand Rapids Zondervan,
1996), where each author presents his view and
responds to the other four views. Generally
speaking, views 1-2 are similar as both are
Reformed (stressing continuity between the NT and
OT) and these stand against views 3-5 which alike
stress discontinuity. In my opinion, the
dispensational view has the most to commend it as
law in the NT is never broken into component
parts and this view clearly distinguishes Israel
from the church. Further, it is inconsistent to
change the Sabbath (Saturday) to Sunday but not
apply the OT penalties for Sabbath-breaking today
(i.e., death by stoning cf. Exod. 3114-15
352). The following chart is adapted from Lee
