Exodus chs. 4:18-7:13 By: Edward Short© 1.Ex. 4:18-20: Moses showed his father-in-law due respect and asked permission to ______. In not telling Jethro about the mission God gave him, did Moses lie? _____ The New Testa-ment demands that Christians speak truth honestly but does not require that we tell the entire story (except in a court of law). 2.Ex. 4:21-23: This is the first time in Scripture that the Israelites as an ethnic group are called “my _______ ___.” Note that early on God told pharaoh that he would _____ his son. (In another lesson we will discuss God’s statement in 4:21, “I will harden the heart of the king of Egypt...”) 3.Ex. 4:24-26: Would God really kill Moses? ___ Moses had not yet _______ his son. The leader that God had chosen for the Israelites must not neglect this sign of their covenant with God (see Gen. 17:9-14). 4.Ex. 4:27-31: The first time Moses and Aaron met with the Israelite elders, the elders _______ Moses, and they all _____ _____. Memorize v. 31. 5.Ex. 5:1-23: Describe the first confrontation between Moses, Aaron and pharaoh. 6.Ex. 5:1-23: Why did pharaoh belittle the God of the Hebrews? (Pharaoh probably thought that since the Hebrews were his slaves, their God had only very little power, otherwise they would not be slaves.) Why did they ask for three days time to go worship? What new regulation did pharaoh promulgate? What was the attitude of the foremen toward Moses? Moses learned that it is very _____ to be the leader of the Hebrews and he realized that God’s [timetable] and man’s are very different (v. 23). 7.Ex. 6:1-30: Describe how God enabled Moses to know that he intended to save the Israelites. From vs. 12 and vs.30, we see that Moses is still what? What did God do to strengthen Moses’ faith? In order to encourage Moses and in order to express his authority, God repeated what statement several times? 8.Ex. 6:2-3: The term “Jehovah” is used several times in Genesis, e.g., Gen. 12:1. Why then do we read in Ex. 6:2-3: “God also said to Moses, "I am the LORD. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself known to them.“ (Three Chinese translations of these verses are given.) In the Old Testament, “know” means to understand deeply or to experience (Woods, p. 138). In Ex. 6, therefore, it means that they had not yet experienced the power of Jehovah God. Before the Israelites leave Egypt, however, the Israelites, the Egyptians and the pharaoh would experience the power of God. Afterward, they would all know who Jehovah is! No longer would they doubt the power of Jehovah!
9.Ex. 6:4-12: God reiterated a main point of the “covenant”; what was it? List three verbs: Established (a covenant); Heard (groanings); Remembered (the covenant). However, what was the reaction of the Hebrews? _____________________
10.Ex. 7:1: In what way could Moses be “like God” to Pharaoh? (Three Chinese translations are given.) What does vs. 1 mean? It means that God would not allow Moses to experience in front of Pharaoh as he did in Ex. 5 (Woods, p. 141.) God wanted Moses to possess the authority of God in Pharaoh’s presence, so Moses was given the authority to represent God, perform miracles, etc.
11.Ex. 7:3: How would God harden Pharaoh’s heart? (Three Chinese translations are given.) God’s power (as seen in the miracles of Moses) would cause the Hebrews hearts to soften and would cause the king’s heart to harden. According to the notes in the NIV Study Bible (s.v. Ex. 4:21), the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart is ascribed to God nine times (4:21; 7:3; 9:12; 10:1, 20, 27; 11:10; 14:4, 8; Rom 9:17-19) and is ascribed to Pharaoh himself nine times as well (7:13-14, 22; 8:15, 19, 32; 9:7, 34-35).
