--The Pharoah was alarmed at the growth of the Israelite people and he determined to
crush them by cruel treatment and destruction of all male children. (Ex. 1:16)
--Concealed in a basket in the Nile river, Pharoah’s daughter discovered the baby boy
and called him “Moses” which means “drawn out of water.” She raised Moses as
her own son and trained him to be a ruler in Egypt. (Acts 7:22-23)

for the Israelites.

--Before Israel’s deliverance was accomplished, God had to send ten national calamities
to overcome the obstinate refusal of Pharaoh. These are called the 10 Plagues of
Egypt. (Ex. 7:4)
--God poured out the ten plagues onto Egypt as punishments against the gods which the
Egyptian worshiped. The plagues showed that God is the all powerful, sovereign God
and these gods were powerless against Him. The Egyptians worshiped the Nile River,
the bull, the Pharoah’s family, frogs, insects, etc.
--Immediately after the death of the “firstborn in Egypt” the Passover was instituted as
a memorial of redemption for Israel. (Exodus 12:21-23)
--God instructed them to slay a lamb for each house, and to sprinkle the blood on the
doorposts of their dwellings. By this token the death angel was to recognize the homes
of the Hebrews, and they were to be “passed over” when he came to destroy the
firstborn in the land of Egypt. This was the last plague, and the Israelites left Egypt.

The Law
God called Moses to the top of Mt. Sinai where He gave him the Mosaic Law for
Israel. In all, there were 616 laws in the Mosaic Law for Israel to follow.
--There are three parts to the Mosaic Law. 1) the Commandments (Ex. 20), the
Judgments (Ex. 21-23) and the Ordinances (Ex. 24-40). These laws were for the
MORAL, SOCIAL and RELIGIOUS life of Israel.
--The Mosaic Law was a CONDITIONAL COVENANT. This means that if Israel
obeyed, they would prosper, but IF they didn’t obey, they would be judged.
(Ex. 19:5-7). The Law continued until the Cross. Jesus was the only One who could
ever fulfill all of these laws perfectly and He nailed the Law to His Cross taking the
Law out of the way (Col. 2:14, Galatians 3:13).

Heavenly pattern Moses saw. (Heb. 8:5)
