In our sixth episode in the book of Exodus, we chat about Ex. 14:1-15:21 as Yahweh triumphs over the Egyptians and then Israel sings in response to God delivering His people.
Today’s conversation:
- Geography at the beginning of ch. 14
- The exodus as a founding story for Israel
- Yahweh reiterating His purpose in the exodus event
- Israel’s complaining, looking forward and backward in the story
- God as Deliverer & the hope/confidence available to us
- The angel of the Lord & the fire: markers on the narrative
- Death by water: a reversal
- Singing as a regular practice for God’s people
- The attributes of God in the song
- Yahweh as God of the generations
- God’s anger against evil is inherent to His majesty (Douglas Stuart)
- The “gods” — what should we think of that? For more on a view that Michael briefly explains, see this short video from the BibleProject or Michael Heiser’s book The Unseen Realm
- The importance of the nations referenced in the song
- Miriam & the song
Join us this season for a journey through Exodus (every Monday) and incredible interview guests (every other Thursday).
