#88 - Strength & Song (Ex. 14:1-15:21)

Listen Later

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
