Exodus
Chapter 1-40

Chapter 1 (4:58)

• As Exodus begins, the descendants of Jacob (Israel) are now living in Egypt and growing in number. But a new Pharaoh, who does not remember Joseph, feels threatened by their strength and orders them enslaved. Even worse, he issues a horrifying decree: the killing of all newborn Hebrew boys. Despite this, God's plan for deliverance is already underway.

​

Chapter 2 (6:16)

• This chapter introduces one of the greatest leaders in biblical history: Moses. Born during a time of great danger, his life was spared by God’s providence, setting the stage for Israel’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt.

​

Chapter 3 (6:34)

• This chapter features the calling of Moses, the burning bush, and the divine name of God: "I AM THAT I AM." It is a turning point not only in Moses’ life but in the story of redemption for the nation of Israel.

​

Chapter 4 (8:31)

• In this chapter, God continues speaking to Moses from the burning bush, addressing Moses' doubts, fears, and insecurities. Though chosen to lead Israel out of Egypt, Moses feels unqualified. But God responds with power, patience, and provision—showing that when He calls, He also equips.

​

Chapter 5 (4:46)

• This chapter marks a turning point in the Book of Exodus — the beginning of the confrontation between God’s chosen messengers and the most powerful ruler in Egypt. It is the start of a spiritual and historical battle between obedience to God and the oppression of man.

​

Chapter 6 (7:22)

• In this video, we explore Exodus Chapter 6, a pivotal moment where God reaffirms His covenant promises to Israel, declares His name JEHOVAH, and gives hope to a discouraged Moses. God reminds Moses of His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

​

Chapter 7 (5:28)

• In this episode, we present Exodus Chapter 7, a critical chapter in the story of Israel’s deliverance. Here, Moses and Aaron stand before Pharaoh, and God begins to display His power through signs and wonders, starting with the first plague.

• ​hat Happens in Exodus Chapter 7?

  • God tells Moses: “See, I have made you a god to Pharaoh; and Aaron shall be your prophet.”

  • Moses and Aaron are commanded to speak boldly to Pharaoh and perform miraculous signs.

  • Aaron’s rod turns into a serpent before Pharaoh, but Egyptian magicians do the same.

  • Aaron’s serpent swallows their serpents, showing God’s superior power.

  • Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, just as God foretold.

  • God sends the first plague: Aaron strikes the Nile River, and all the water turns to blood.

  • Fish die, the river stinks, and the Egyptians cannot drink the water.

  • Pharaoh sees the magicians replicate the sign and refuses to let the Israelites go.

  • This chapter reveals that while opposition may come, God’s power is greater, and His plan to deliver His people is already in motion.

​

Chapter 8 (7:25)

• Chapter 8, where God sends the second, third, and fourth plagues on Egypt as Pharaoh continues to harden his heart against the LORD’s command: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.” This chapter shows us God’s unmatched power over nature, Pharaoh’s stubborn pride, and the beginning of God’s clear separation between His people (Israel) and Egypt.

• ​What Happens in Exodus Chapter 8?

  • God tells Moses to warn Pharaoh: Let the Israelites go, or I will send frogs over the land.

  • Pharaoh refuses, and frogs swarm Egypt—in houses, beds, kitchens, and ovens!

  • Pharaoh begs Moses to pray to God to remove the frogs and promises to let the people go, but breaks his word once the plague is lifted.

  • Next, God commands Aaron to strike the dust, turning it into lice (gnats) throughout the land.

  • Even the magicians admit, “This is the finger of God.”

  • Pharaoh remains stubborn and will not listen.

  • Finally, God sends flies to swarm the Egyptians—but not the land of Goshen, where the Israelites live.

  • This plague begins God’s clear distinction between His people and Pharaoh’s people.

  • Pharaoh tries to compromise, allowing worship but only inside Egypt.

  • Moses insists they must go into the wilderness as God commanded. Pharaoh again promises, then changes his mind once the flies are gone.

  • This chapter reveals God’s control over creation, the hardness of the human heart, and the importance of obeying God completely—not halfway.

​

Chapter 9 (7:07)

• In this video, we explore Exodus Chapter 9, where God sends the fifth, sixth, and seventh plagues upon Egypt as Pharaoh continues to defy the Lord’s command to let Israel go. As the plagues increase in power and intensity, we see God's sovereignty, mercy, and judgment on full display. Pharaoh’s hardened heart and God's unmatched power set the stage for the ultimate deliverance of His people.

• ​What Happens in Exodus Chapter 9?

  • Plague 5: Diseased livestock – All of Egypt’s livestock die, but none of Israel’s animals are harmed. Plague 6: Boils and sores – Moses and Aaron throw ashes into the air, and painful boils break out on all Egyptians—even their magicians.

  • Plague 7: Hailstorm of destruction – God sends a mighty hailstorm mixed with fire, destroying crops, animals, and servants in the fields. Some Egyptians believe Moses’ warning and protect their livestock indoors—showing that even among Pharaoh’s people, some begin to listen.

  • Pharaoh admits he has sinned but quickly hardens his heart again once the hail stops. This chapter reveals not only God’s power over nature, but also His mercy—offering warnings and chances for repentance, even in judgment.

​

Chapter 10 (6:29)

• In this video, we present Exodus Chapter 10, where the eighth and ninth plagues—locusts and darkness—strike Egypt. God continues to demonstrate His authority over creation while Pharaoh’s heart grows colder and more resistant to God’s will. This chapter is a powerful reminder that disobedience brings judgment, but that God continues to show mercy by warning before He acts. As the darkness falls over Egypt, the light still shines in the homes of God’s people—a symbol of His grace and protection.

• ​What Happens in Exodus Chapter 10?

  • God commands Moses to go to Pharaoh again and says: “I have hardened his heart so I may show these signs.”

    • Pharaoh’s servants plead with him to let Israel go.

    • Pharaoh allows only the men to leave, but Moses refuses partial obedience.

    • God sends a mighty east wind, and locusts cover the land, eating every green thing in Egypt.

    • Pharaoh begs for forgiveness—but once the locusts are removed, he hardens his heart again.

  • Plague 9 – Darkness: A thick darkness falls over Egypt for three days—so heavy that people cannot move.

    • But in Goshen, where the Israelites live, there is light. Pharaoh offers another compromise, but Moses rejects it.

    • Pharaoh then threatens Moses’ life.

    • This chapter continues to contrast Pharaoh’s pride and rebellion with God’s patient judgment and sovereign control.

​

Chapter 11 (2:49)

• In this video, we read Exodus Chapter 11, where God declares the final and most devastating plague to fall upon Egypt—the death of the firstborn sons. This chapter is a turning point in the story of Israel’s deliverance. After nine plagues and repeated refusals by Pharaoh, God gives a final warning. The judgment is certain, and freedom for Israel is near. The tension rises as God prepares to reveal His ultimate authority over life, death, and kings.

​

Chapter 12 (12:00)

• In this video, we present Exodus Chapter 12, a monumental chapter in biblical history—the first Passover and the dramatic deliverance of Israel from Egypt. This chapter tells how God protected His people through the blood of the lamb, leading to their freedom after generations of slavery. Through The Sunday School Bible, this powerful story becomes accessible to children, families, new believers, and those seeking to understand the Bible in clear, reverent language.

• ​What Happens in Exodus Chapter 12? God institutes the Passover, commanding each Israelite household to sacrifice a spotless lamb.

  • The blood of the lamb is to be applied to the doorposts, so that when God passes through Egypt, He will “pass over” those homes.

  • At midnight, God strikes down the firstborn in every Egyptian household, including Pharaoh’s son. Pharaoh, finally broken, tells Moses and the Israelites to leave Egypt immediately.

  • The Israelites, guided by God, leave in haste—so quickly that they don’t have time to let their bread rise, leading to the tradition of unleavened bread.

  • God gives specific instructions to remember the Passover every year for generations to come, as a sign of deliverance and faithfulness.

  • This chapter is a foundational moment in both Jewish and Christian history and points directly to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God.

​​

Chapter 13 (5:06)

• In this video, we explore Exodus Chapter 13, a powerful continuation of Israel’s journey out of slavery in Egypt. This chapter introduces the importance of remembering God’s deliverance through the practice of consecration, the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and God’s miraculous guidance through the wilderness. Exodus 13 teaches us about obedience, remembrance, and God’s powerful presence. As the Israelites leave Egypt, God commands that every firstborn male be set apart to Him, and He leads His people—not through the shortest path, but the safest one, with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.

​

Chapter 14 (7:35)

• In this video, we read Exodus Chapter 14, one of the most dramatic and miraculous moments in the Bible: the parting of the Red Sea. After generations of slavery, the Israelites are finally free from Egypt. But Pharaoh changes his mind and sends his army to bring them back. With nowhere to turn, Israel finds themselves trapped between the Red Sea and the Egyptian army. But God shows His power and faithfulness by making a way where there was no way. This chapter demonstrates God’s ability to deliver His people completely, and reminds us to trust Him even when the situation seems impossible.

• What Happens in Exodus Chapter 14?

  • God tells Moses to camp near the sea, knowing Pharaoh will pursue them, so He can display His glory one more time before the Egyptians.

  • Moses tells them not to be afraid. God will fight for them.

  • God tells Moses to stretch out his hand over the sea, and God parts the waters with a strong east wind, creating a dry path through the sea.

  • The angel of God and the pillar of cloud move between Israel and the Egyptians to protect them through the night.

  • The Israelites cross safely, but when the Egyptians pursue them into the sea, God causes the waters to return, drowning Pharaoh’s army.

​

Chapter 15 (5:59)

• In this video, we read Exodus Chapter 15—one of the most beautiful and powerful moments of praise in the entire Bible. After God parts the Red Sea and delivers Israel from Pharaoh’s army in Exodus 14, Moses and the people respond with worship and thanksgiving in what is known as the Song of Moses. This chapter celebrates God's power, faithfulness, and victory over evil. It is a declaration that the Lord is not only a deliverer, but also a mighty warrior who leads His people with love and strength. The chapter closes with a lesson on trust and obedience as God turns bitter water sweet and promises to be Israel’s healer.

​

Chapter 16 (8:37)

It teaches valuable lessons about dependence on God, obedience to His instructions, and His desire to provide for both physical and spiritual needs.

• What Happens in Exodus Chapter 16?

  • The Israelites travel from Elim to the wilderness of Sin, and they begin to grumble against Moses and Aaron because they are hungry.

  • They say they would have rather died in Egypt with full stomachs than starve in the wilderness.

  • God tells Moses that He will rain down bread from heaven (manna) and test the people’s obedience by giving specific instructions on how much to gather each day.

  • Each person is to gather just enough for that day—no more, no less. On the sixth day, they are to gather twice as much so they can rest on the Sabbath.

  • Some Israelites disobey and try to gather extra, but it spoils and breeds worms.

  • Others go out on the Sabbath to gather food and find none, and God rebukes them for not resting as He commanded.

  • Manna tastes like wafers made with honey and becomes the daily food of the Israelites for the next forty years.

  • God commands that some manna be kept in a jar as a testimony for future generations, showing how He fed His people in the desert.

​
