In this episode, we reviewed the fact that Joseph and his family had to come to Egypt to survive the famine. By the time Exodus starts, the children of Israel have been in Egypt for 430 years. We talked about the fact that Joseph’s entire generation has died. There’s a new Pharaoh in charge who is intimidated by the growth of the Jews and made them slaves. He tries to stop them from multiplying by working them very hard. When he saw their numbers continue to increase, he told the midwives to kill the boy babies. After they refused to do so because of their fear of God, he told all the Egyptians they could throw any new born Hebrew boy in the river. One of our takeaways from this Chapter is that if God has blessed you, no one can stop you from receiving your blessing. God had promised Abraham that his seed would be like the stars in the sky. He also told Abraham he was going to become a great nation. Try as he might, Pharaoh can’t stop that blessing. When God has blessed, it can’t be stopped! #biblestudy #foryourpage #4you #exodus #pharaoh #moses #egypt #sinaí #midwives #aaron @readingthroughthebiblewith3242
