Exodus Exegetical Paper

This analysis will serve as an attempt to distinguish the differences between the Biblical events that happened in the life of Moses and the events that happened in Moses life according to the events that happened in the movie “The Prince of Egypt”. The author will summarize the points throughout this paper as well as challenging the reader with an application that they could use in their own life.

Linafelt described the Hebrew Bible as containing, “some of the finest literature that we have, and biblical literature has begun to take its place among the classics of world literature” (1). The Hebrew Bible, composed of prose narrative texts, poetry and intricate literary characters, examines and records the wavering relationship between God and humans. While the connection God has with many literary characters, from Noah to Job serve to illuminate the bond between divine and the mortal, no fellowship is more important than that between God and Moses. Moses, whose presence is made aware in the Book of Exodus, unequivocally is one of the first protagonist in the Hebrew Bible. While he demonstrates the qualities of a literary hero; triumph above inner contention and trepidation, it is his obedience and rapport with God that validates genuine character progression of both Moses and God. Moses’ relationship with God yields allusions that divinity is a composition of both theology and humanism, as divinity weakens without piety and commitment.

Exodus is the earliest text in the Old Testament that creates a new identity and sense of community to a group of people who had nothing. According to the Exodus there were a group of slaves who fled Egypt and where led by a prophet named Moses, who also is the proclaimed author of the book. These people where on a mission to find the promise land where they can be free from oppression and create their own civilization. These claims are true are still debated to this day, but the text was written around the 1400 B.C. Moses intentions for Exodus were to set laws for his new community to a group of people who had only knew lives as slaves.

The life of Moses is highly instructive from many standpoints. We have been thinking together about various aspects of the life of Moses, and we have seen that even his birth and his early years were years of great value, not only from the standpoint of what God was going to do with his life, but from the standpoint of instruction for us.

Moses is the most important prophet in the Old Testament. God chose him for the important mission of delivering the Hebrew people from slavery in Egypt, and then used it to organize them into a new nation. It was Moses whom God endured with the plagues and the departure of the Red Sea; Went to this man to whom he gave the tablets of the ten commandments and allowed him to be in his presence. The obedience of this prophet has impacted us to this day. Thank you we have written the story of the creation of the world in

For this assignment I have chosen to analyze the section from Exodus where G-d approaches Moses about leading the Israelites out of Egypt. I found this interesting as it begins the tale of the Israelites’ Exodus from Egypt; one can argue that this was one of the most seminal and inspiring events in all of human history. In Exodus 3, 1-15 G-d chooses and recruits Moses to lead the Exodus. Moses’ leadership provided the inspiration for freedom seekers for generations; yet Moses questions his ability to carry out this task. In this paper I will explore the interactions between G-d and Moses when Moses is persuaded to assume this leadership role.

Over the course of the first two books of the Old Testament, Genesis and Exodus, a noticeable evolution of the relationship between humankind and God takes center-stage. From the initial creation of Adam to the Ten Commandments delivered from Mount Sinai, God’s covenant with the Israelites is fulfilled through different means and varying modes of communication. The manner in which God interacts with his subjects over the early history of the biblical world helps to understand his motivation as a creator, and the moral reasoning behind the actions of his people.

In religions such as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism, redemption holds various interpretations. Yet, for the Jews, redemption is mainly about God redeeming them from various exiles and slavery. Redemption is prevalent throughout Hebrew Traditions and highlights the tensions that arise between human and divine powers such as in the Book of Exodus and the Judge 's Cycle which demonstrates the eternal aspect of the covenant and renders God as the only determinant of salvation for humanity. Analyzing the initial concept of redemption in the Book of Exodus and understanding the cycle in which redemption is attained authenticates God’s power as a redeemer and the eternality of redemption to those who repent and aim to fulfill the covenant.

In class, we have read some of the books of Exodus, discussed its themes, characters, and plot. For our project, our job was to re-create the story of Moses in reference to our own lives in 2017. My group decided that recreating the original bible story would be the best way to tell the story of Moses. Not only does it get the true meaning of Exodus across, our recreation shows that these themes written long ago are still relevant to our life today. These themes include how change can come from an unlikely place, social structure can keep people back, receiving revelation that this social structure is hurtful, your relationship with an authority figure who goes against what you believe/furthers what in society is keeping you back, what evidence

Exodus is a Book of the Law believed to be written by Moses between 1265 and 1220 BC. Exodus covers the deliverance of the Israelites held in captivity in Egypt, after the death of Joseph, for 400 years. It speaks of the life of Moses from his birth to his death 125 years later. It depicts the cruelty the Hebrew slaves suffered at the hands of Pharaoh and how God miraculous y worked on their behalf to free them and bring them to the land He had promised Abraham. Exodus shows the cost of disobedience and lack of faith in God as Israel is required to wander in the wilderness for forty years until all those who rebelled are dead. God brought a new generation into the Promised Land. In this, Exodus shows that man is accountable to God

We, as Christians, must understand that there is only a fine line between God's wrath and God's love. In other words, human despair, of which we often view as God's wrath upon us, is a stepping stone to experience God's love. Only in Christ, we can experience God’s grace which transforms human despair into hope. The account of Moses and the ark displays both God's wrath and love for His people. And His action was made in accordance of His immutable attributes. By looking at the contexts and His dialogues with Noah, we will know that God's wrath and love are inseparable attributes of God.

Who report are you going to believe in the English Bible there are 17 different books a prophecy diseases the writer of these books are considered major and minor prophets major meaning the longest meaning as we begin to focus on one major prophet this problem will be a sale I'll see you Isaiah is justly accounted for the greatest of all prophets he is quoted more frequently throughout all the New Testament readings than any of the prophets the prophet Isaiah theme was about the telling of the coming Messiah so he prophesied for about 50 years just was doing the very critical times of both kingdoms Israel and Judah what's the kingdoms and what she processes which is prophecy was focused these this land possess that of the Jews God's chosen

Exodus 3 and 4 shows us how God picked Moses to help save the Israelites. By the time we get to Moses 3 we already know that Moses was born an Israelite, but raised by Pharaoh’s sister, an Egyptian, and that he fled Egypt because he killed an Egyptian. When we catch up to him in 3 and 4 he is working with his father in law in Midian. He was tending to his flock in the desert when a bush started on fire. From behind the bush the Angel of the Lord appeared and then from the bush God called out to Moses by his name. By God calling on Moses by name this shows us that God knew who Moses was and that he was not just another shepherd. God told Moses to stop where he was and to remove his sandals in respect. Once he did this God revealed himself to

Symmetry is the backbone to the bible. It provides a comforting lull to the reader and it proves time and again to be effective at subtlety emphasizing the important motifs of the stories. The balance in the bible is found, also, in the characters. The authors of the New Testament used symmetry to their advantage and placed Mosaic motifs along with the story of Jesus of Nazareth. In doing so, the parallel between Moses and Jesus is a dominant theme that makes the New Testament both slightly predictable while also reinforcing Jesus’s role as the “lawgiver.” This archetype is interesting because religion is dominated by rules, and at the most basic level, the prophets created the rules in which followers of religion live by. The link between Moses and Jesus is inextricable and undeniable, causing the relationship to be so obvious even to the least experienced bible reader. The parallelism between the figures of Moses and Jesus is important because it emphasizes the necessity to have a leader in a religious group and illustrates the quiet difference between being the figurehead who receives the law of G-d versus the one who gives the law. In the symmetry, the figures of Moses and Jesus act as a balance where Jesus’ actions are representative, but not repetitive, of those biblical actions of Moses. Through water, numerical, and Passover motifs the story of Jesus is connected to the passages of Moses.

“The exodus of Israel from Egypt is the convergence of several important elements. Let us briefly consider these elements. The first element is that of the promises and prophecies of Genesis. After man’s fall Genesis 12:1-3, and then later reiterated and
