Exodus chs. 13:17-14:31 By: Edward Short© 1.Ex. 13:17-19: Israel was always prepared to wage w____. God lead the people around through the wilderness road toward the R___ S___. Why did God not allow them to take the shorter way through the Philistine country? What special item did Moses take (19)? Who requested this? (See Gen. 50:25.) 2.Ex. 13:20-22: How did Jehovah God enable the Israelites to “travel by day or night”? Thus God gave them a visible p_____ of his presence. 3.Ex. 14:1-9: Why did God want Pharaoh to think that the Israelites had lost their way (1-4)? What did God mean when he said, “But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord”? Ex. 14:5-9: Why did Pharaoh change his mind and pursue the Israelites? 4.Ex. 14:10-14: What was the reaction of the Israelites when they saw the Egyptians pursuing them? What did the Israelites say in complaint to Moses? Consequently, we know that their faith was ___. Logically speaking, the Israelites had already seen God’s glory, authority and power (e.g., in the ten plagues and in the pillars of cloud and fire), consequently their faith should have been very s_____. Moses replied, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” [The Chinese text of the “New Translation” is quoted.] 5.Ex. 14:15-18: Detail what God told Moses to do. God enabled the Israelites to walk to the opposite shore on dry g_____ . Consequently, everyone had to acknowledge that this miracle was done by G___. The Israelites would g_____ the Lord; the Egyptians would know that he is the L___. 6.Ex. 14:19-20: Explain clearly what these two verses record; describe what God (the angel of God) did. What was the original purpose of the pillar of cloud? What did it do now? How could the pillar of cloud bring “darkness to one side and light to the other side”? What was the purpose of this? (The purpose was “so neither went near the other all night long.) 7.Ex. 14:21-22: While the pillar of cloud separated the Israelites and Egyptians, the Lord used a strong e___ wind all night long and d____ the waters; he turned the sea into d___ ground. The Israelites walked down into the sea and walked on d____ ground with a “w____ of water on their right and one their left.” (Note: The crossing of the Red Sea was a pinnacle or climatic moment in the history of Israel, but the Bible describes it in just a few sentences.) The Israelites murmured against Moses not long before this, but now they are demonstrating some faith; how so? Because they walked into the Red Sea. If we had been there, would we have dared to enter it? 8.Ex. 14:23-25,29: Why did Pharaoh make his army pursue the Israelites into the sea? Was he not afraid? How did God fight for Israel and against Egypt? How long did this whole event take? (V. 20: “…Throughout the night…” V. 24: “During the last watch of the night…”) Therefore, it probably took about a___ night. (From about 2:00 a.m. until 6:00 a.m. ; [see Woods, p. 163.]) Why did it take so long? The Israelites walked on d___ ground to the opposite bank. The water on both sides became w____ and acted to p______ them. 9.Ex. 14:26-28: God told Moses to s______ his _____. [Chinese translations differ on what word is used here.] What was the result? What was the end of Pharaoh’s army? Read carefully Ex. 14 and 15. Does Scripture say that Pharaoh himself died in the sea? 10.Ex. 14:30-31: “…the Israelites saw the great power the LORD displayed against the Egyptians, the people f_____ the LORD and put their t____ in him and in Moses his servant.” How do we react to God after we see him do mighty things in our daily lives? If you and a friend are talking about the Egyptians and the friend says, “If God allowed that many Egyptians to die at home and in the sea, he cannot be a God of love,” how would you react and how would you answer your friend?
