Old Testament OverviewSample

The book of Exodus continues the story where Genesis left off. Just as was Joseph, Moses is a type of Christ through whom God moves the redemptive narrative closer to fulfilment (ultimately in Jesus).

In Exodus we see God fulfilling His promise to make Israel into a nation (Genesis 12:1-3). A nation requires 3 ingredients: a people, a law, and a land. God provides each of these, although the promise of land is delayed by Israel's unfaithfulness (Numbers 14).

The law of God for Israel is known as the Old (or Mosaic) Covenant.
