Exodus 2

Exodus chapter 2 gives a summary overview of the life of Moses from birth until right before his encounter with YHWH in the burning bush 40 years later. The many twists and turns in Moses' life prepares him for the mission God gives him to deliver his people from Pharaoh. The echoes, rhymes, and allusions, some subtle, some obvious, to other parts of the Bible tell us something about the God that Moses encounters in the next chapter. God hears, remembers, sees, and knows His people. And Moses' life shows the mysterious ways God sovereignly works through our lives according to his will to accomplish his purposes.
