Egypt
There are two different accounts of how long the children of Israel stayed in Egypt - anywhere between 200 and 400 years, but regardless, what affect did it have on their cultural and religious beliefs?
Did the Israelites need to get
to Canaan for the Abrahamic Covenant to be made available to them?
How would you describe the
nation of Egypt back in the time of Moses?

today could be described as today’s “Egypt”?

The Lord has Moses inflict
Egypt with ten plagues - why does He do this?
Pharaoh’s magicians were able
to copy several of the plagues, what does that teach us?
How do the plagues explicitly
target the weaknesses of Egypt’s gods vis-a-vis Jehovah’s power?
Why was it important to expose
the “god”, Pharaoh, as powerless?
READ Exodus 11:1-10
While the Israelites were
spared from most of the first nine plagues, why did they have to do something
to be spared the deaths of their own firstborn?
The Passover
READ Exodus 12:1-51
What was the outward ordinance
the Lord commanded as a way to deliver Israel from death?
The symbolism of the lamb
without blemish is obvious, but why were they commanded to care for the lamb
for five days?

congregation spill the blood of the Lamb?

meat to be eaten?

partake of the Lamb together?
What do the bitter herbs
symbolize?
Why did the yeast have to be
removed from the house?
Why did they eat unleavened
bread?
Why were they commanded to eat

When the Feast of the Passover
was celebrated in ancient Israel, the youngest male present would ask “why is
this night different from all other nights?”
How would you answer this?
