EXODUS OVERVIEW

MODULE 2: SESSION 13: Liminal Space

The wilderness narratives recount a liminal space for God to form Israel as a new nation. The wilderness narratives in Exodus 15-18 mirror the wilderness journey of Numbers 10-21 in a chiasm that frames the entire Torah. The people’s ingratitude and rebellion meets God’s gracious provision in the cycles of work and rest, which results in a contrast between serving Yahweh and serving Pharaoh.
