Episode Synopsis

In our third episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 5-6. If you make your way to the end of the episode, here’s an update: Andrei is not currently 3-0 in fantasy football. He is 4-2, and he is in third place in the league.
 
Today’s conversation:
Pharaoh’s response to the words of God through Aaron and Moses
Properly thinking about the popular “let my people go” phrase
“I am the Lord” in the rest of the book of Exodus
An even harder work burden on the Israelites
Rivalry between two authorities: God and Pharaoh—a theme throughout Scripture; the seed of the serpent
Who will Israel “serve”?
God’s way to comfort: a reminder of Israel’s past—the forefathers
Another theme for the entire Bible: the kinsman-redeemer
What does it mean that God did not make Himself known to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by His name (6:3)?
The Lord is the One who delivers
An important genealogy (and Douglas Stuart’s 7 purposes)
