Show notes

Before beginning the history of the Egyptians, I need to ground their history as found in the Old Testament. Of course, they are mentioned in the Table of Nations, but they also played a part in the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, and so many others. What was their influence, listen and find out. Next week, I’ll provide a summary history of the Egyptians, up through about 50 BC.

3.09 Who Wrote Exodus? Jan 04, 2018

Show notes

So, who wrote Exodus? The traditional Jewish, and therefore Christian, view is that Exodus, along with the vast majority of the remainder of the Pentateuch, was written by Moses. One religious father went as far as to say that portions were dictated by God to Moses, who wrote it with his own tears. Religious academics, at least some of them, have proposed many different theories, several of which are discussed in this episode. Who, and more importantly what are their theories? Listen and find out. Next week, I’ll begin the history of the Egyptians.

3.08 Exodus Summary Part 8 Dec 28, 2017

Show notes

This episode is a summary of the narrative found in Exodus Chapters 35 through 40. These chapters recount the building of the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, and all the fixtures and furniture found within the wall of the courtyard. We are told how the Israelites built everything to God’s exacting specifications. We also hear of the people donating the gold, silver, bronze, linen, leather, and everything else. So much so that Moses had to put a stop to it. Finally, Moses anoints and consecrates all of the items, as well as Aaron and the other priests. Next week, I’ll cover the history of the writing of the Book of Exodus.

3.07 Exodus Summary Part 7 Dec 21, 2017

Show notes

Chapter 29 and 30 begin with God continuing to tell Moses how he is to be worshiped. Moses is told how offerings and sacrifices are to be rendered, how the altar is to be built, about a mandatory offering for essentially all adult Israelites, how to build a basin of bronze, and the formulation for both the ritual holy anointing oil and incense. In Chapter 31, God tells Moses the two men who are to build everything he has specified. Then the narrative changes direction. While Moses is still on Sinai, the Israelites build an idol. And God is furious. Moses is sent back, destroys the stone tablets God gave to him, and loses his temper, too. God then reiterates his commandments, formulates some new rules, and recarves the tablets. These are a busy few chapters. Next week, I’ll continue the summary of Exodus, starting in Chapter 35.

3.06 Exodus Summary Part 6 Dec 14, 2017

Show notes

This episode is a summary of the narrative found in Exodus Chapters 21 through 28. Chapter 21 through 23 details many of the laws given by God to Moses. Laws concerning slavery, violence, property, rampaging oxen, restitution, breaking and entering, destroying crops, and the like. Also, laws concerning the lending of money, religious laws, three mandated festivals, In Chapter 24, Moses relays these laws to the people, and writes them down in the Book of the Covenant. It is in Chapters 25 through 28 that God tells Moses how he should be worshiped. He details the Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle, along with everything in it, the courtyard that will surround the Tabernacle, and the priests clothing. All in great detail. Next week, I’ll continue the summary of Exodus, starting in Chapter 29.

3.05 Exodus Summary Part 5 Dec 07, 2017

Show notes

This episode is a summary of the narrative found in Exodus Chapters 18 through 20. Chapter 18 sees the reappearance of Moses’s father-in-law, Jethro who brings Moses’s wife Zipporah and his two sons back to the leader of the Israelites. Jethro also advises Moses on how to efficiently structure a legal system. In Chapter 19, the Israelites migrate to Mt. Sinai, where in Chapter 20 they receive a set of commandments from God. At the end of the episode, I dive into the different numbering conventions of these commandments. Next week, I’ll continue the summary of Exodus, starting in Chapter 21.
