Exodus 1

First, we made it through Genesis. Bask in that for a minute.

Okay, back to work. The first chapter of Exodus is essentially a recap of the previous 400 years. It tells in part how the Hebrews went from a position of privilege to one of slavery.

It's important to remember that the first audience for Exodus was the group of Hebrews who left Egypt. They needed to know where they came from, and Moses and God gave them what they needed.
