ites in Egypt? Exodus 3:7. Did He promise to deliver them from slavery
and to bring them back to the land which He had promised Abra-
ham? Verse 8.
6. Who did YEHOVAH God call to lead the nation of Israel out of Egyptian
slavery and into the promised land? Exodus 3:1-6, 9-10.
COMMENT: YEHOVAH chose Moses to lead the children of Israel out of
Egypt. He had previously caused Moses to be specially trained for this mis-
sion by having him reared as a prince in the palace of the Egyptian Phar-
aoh (Exodus 2:1-10). YEHOVAH God also commissioned Aaron, his
brother, to assist Moses by being his spokesman (Exodus 4:10-16).
7. Did YEHOVAH God plan to send plagues against Egypt if Pharaoh re-
fused to let the Israelites leave? Exodus 3:19-20.
COMMENT: In the ensuing plagues YEHOVAH brought upon Egypt,
YEHOVAH turned the Egyptian gods and objects of worship against them
to show that these were not living, active gods who could help Egypt.
8. What was the last plague that finally caused Pharaoh to let the people
go? Exodus 12:29-33.
COMMENT: The Israelites left Egypt at Pharaoh’s urging. But once they
were gone, he changed his mind and led his army in pursuit of Israel. Upon
crossing the Sinai peninsula and reaching the Red Sea, the children of Is-
rael were stopped in their tracks. They appeared to be trapped. Before
them was a broad expanse of water and behind them the Pharaoh’s army
was in hot pursuit. There was nothing they could do. They just stood there -
helpless! At that point they had to rely on YEHOVAH God.
9. How did YEHOVAH God rescue Israel? Exodus 14:21-22.
COMMENT: In Egypt YEHOVAH God had caused Israel’s release from
slavery by a series of supernatural plagues. Now YEHOVAH miraculously
caused the waters of the Red Sea to roll back to form a wall of water on ei-
ther side, causing a wide, dry path on the sea floor between. The Israelites
walked through.
10. Did Pharaoh and his entire army attempt to pursue Israel through the
Red Sea? Verse 23. What happened to them? Verses 24-31.
