EXODUS OVERVIEW
MODULE 2: SESSION 9: Hard Heart
Pharaoh’s heart is described in two ways: heavy, implying that he was guilty of injustice, and hard, meaning “resolute.” God knew Pharaoh would resist, but he gave him many chances. Pharaoh’s evil reaches a point of no return, so God bends Pharaoh’s evil to his purposes and lures him into his own destruction.

Many are the devices of men but at the end of the day, only the counsel of God shall prevail. God had a will, and Pharaoh also had a will opposite to that of God but the agenda of God overcame that of man.

EXODUS OVERVIEW
MODULE 2: SESSION 8: Signs and Wonders
The plagues function symbolically as de-creation. The plagues point beyond themselves to later events in Exodus. The plagues serve as a warning and reminder of the disastrous non-life state outside the people’s covenant relationship with Yahweh.

MODULE 2: Exodus from Egypt
SESSION 7: Let Them Go!
The purpose of the release of the Israelites is for them to worship Yahweh. Yahweh. Pharaoh’s denial of this small request demonstrates how hard-hearted he is. The purpose of the confrontation is that the nations will know God the more. In Egypt Pharaoh is seen as the mighty with…

JACOB
MODULE 3: Jacob’s Exile
SESSION 12: Jacob at the Gate of Heaven
Yaaqov’s response subtly twists God’s promise of blessing and presence into a bargaining arrangement. Yaaqov seeing the gate of Heaven in a dream points to an awareness of heavenly realities not accessible to our conscious senses. Jesus envisions himself as the ramp that…

JACOB
MODULE 2 : SESSION 11: Parting of the Brothers
The separation of Yaaqov and Esau resounds with notes of the Cain and Abel theme, but with many inversions and surprises. Rivqah indeed receives the curse for her scheming with Yaaqov when she says goodbye to her beloved son, never to see him again. Esau, in his anger, is set on analogy to…

A terrible thing to have happened to the chosen family but work out for God’s plan!!

Surely, God’s plan is amazing though hidden before our eyes

JACOB
MODULE 2: SESSION 10: Isaac Blesses Jacob
The scenes of Yaaqov and Esau asking blessing from their father are constructed to mirror each other: Yaaqov’s deception and blessing reflects Esau’s revelation of the truth and non-blessing. Yitskhaq introduces new vocabulary to the Eden blessing theme. Esau’s non-blessing links him to previous…

MODULE 3: SESSION 12: Joseph the Wise Deliverer of Egypt
Yoseph is lifted out of the pit, shaved, and given a whole new set of garments. In the Bible, shaving often marks a transition between two phases of life or states of being. The doubling in Pharaoh’s dream points to one reality confirmed by God, giving us further insight into the…

MODULE 3: SESSION 11: Dreamers in Pharaoh’s Prison
The theme of dreams and visions in Genesis is foundational to later apocalyptic literature and emphasizes the important role of dreams in the world of the biblical authors. A three-day period often indicates that the theme of testing appears nearby in the narrative. The Yoseph story…
