Exodus 1:1 – 4:17
- Why does Pharaoh increase his oppression of the Israelite people? What does this tell you about when the actual hardness of heart occurred with Pharaoh?
- How does God intervene on their behalf? Who does He use? What does this tell you about God?
- How does God reveal his care for Moses’ mom and sister?
- What is the Israelites perception of Moses’ intervention?
- What does Moses spend the next forty years doing?
- What does this tell you about how God prepares those He plans to use in leadership?
- How does God identify Himself to Moses?
- How does Moses’ and Abraham’s initial conversations compare?
- What does God do to assure Moses of His power and ability?
- Why does Moses ask for a substitute?
- How is God working simultaneously in Moses’ life and in Aaron’s life? Where else have we seen God working in parallel situations?

As We Walk Along 
I am going to give you a “heads up”!
There are many days in February when we will be reading sections of The Law (and I have already seen the questions). I think in order to get the most out of what can be some very odd restrictions, it will be helpful to remember that God intends His People to be set apart (sanctified) because they belong to Him.
Note that Genesis ends with Israel’s sons taking care of Pharaoh’s flocks. This essentially removed them from the general Egyptian society. Moses goes into the wilderness – yes, to flee – but it is there when he encounters the “I AM.” Jesus interacts with all of society and yet becomes the unblemished Sacrifice.
God put Joseph and Moses in Egypt for the advancement of His purpose. I believe each of us is in our life place because God is working there too. As we read these God breathed instructions I want to think about where and how I am allowing God to show me what sanctified living looks like today where I live.
On another note: What is it about Egypt? It keeps coming up.
