The document compares and contrasts the biblical books of Genesis and Exodus. It notes that Genesis begins with the story of Abraham and his family, while Exodus focuses on Moses and his family. Both Abraham and Moses are called to leave their homelands and travel to foreign lands. The document then provides background information on Egypt, including details about the Nile River, Lower and Upper Egypt, and the New Kingdom Period. It summarizes key events in Exodus chapter 1, including the Israelites settling in Goshen, a new pharaoh arising who did not know Joseph, the Egyptians enslaving the Israelites, and the pharaoh ordering the killing of Hebrew newborn boys.

12. Exodus 1:1-5
1 Now these are the names of the
sons of Israel who came to Egypt with
Jacob; they came each one with his
household: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and
Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin;
4 Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. 5 All
the persons who came from the loins of
Jacob were seventy in number, but
Joseph was already in Egypt.

13. Deuteronomy 32:7-9
7 Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of all generations.
Ask your father, and he will inform you,
Your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High gave the nations
their inheritance,
When He separated the sons of man,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the sons of
Israel.
9 For the LORD'S portion is His people;
Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

14. Exodus 1:6-7
6 Joseph died, and all his brothers
and all that generation. 7 But the sons of
Israel were fruitful and increased greatly,
and multiplied, and became exceedingly
mighty, so that the land was filled with
them.

15. Exodus 1:8-11
8 Now a new king arose over Egypt,
who did not know Joseph. 9 He said to his
people, “Behold, the people of the sons of
Israel are more and mightier than we. 10
Come, let us deal wisely with them, or else
they will multiply and in the event of war,
they will also join themselves to those who
hate us, and fight against us and depart
from the land.” 11 So they appointed
taskmasters over them to afflict them with
hard labor. And they built for Pharaoh
storage cities, Pithom and Raamses.

16. Exodus 1:12-14
12 But the more they afflicted them,
the more they multiplied and the more
they spread out, so that they were in
dread of the sons of Israel. 13 The
Egyptians compelled the sons of Israel to
labor rigorously; 14 and they made their
lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and
bricks and at all kinds of labor in the field,
all their labors which they rigorously
imposed on them.

18. Exodus 1:15-16
15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to
the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was
named Shiphrah and the other was named
Puah; 16 and he said, “When you are
helping the Hebrew women to give birth
and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a
son, then you shall put him to death; but if
it is a daughter, then she shall live.”

19. Exodus 1:17-21
17 But the midwives feared God, and did
not do as the king of Egypt had commanded
them, but let the boys live. 18 So the king of
Egypt called for the midwives and said to
them, “Why have you done this thing, and let
the boys live?” 19 The midwives said to
Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are
not as the Egyptian women; for they are
vigorous and give birth before the midwife can
get to them.” 20 So God was good to the
midwives, and the people multiplied, and
became very mighty. 21 Because the
midwives feared God, He established
households for them.

20. Discussion Questions
• While we can understand their proper
motive in seeing God as a higher authority
than the pharaoh, was it proper for them to
lie?
• Under what circumstances in recent
history might Christians be forced to obey
God rather than governmental authorities?
• In light of biblical principles of obedience
to authority, what should be the Christian
response regarding...
– Abortion.
– Illegal Immigration.

21. Exodus 1:22
Then Pharaoh commanded all his
people, saying, "Every son who is born you
are to cast into the Nile, and every daughter
you are to keep alive."
