Exo 1:1-2:25
The Hebrew paragraphs:
1:1-7 {p} The increase of the children of Israel
1:8-22 {p} The enemy tries to stop their increase
2:1-22 {p} Moses, born to be Israel’s deliverer
2:23-25 {s} God acknowledged the children of Israel
Moses is identified by Scripture as a Messiah type. How?
And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, “Every son that is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.” Exo 1:22
Moses, even though as yet unborn, was given a death sentence.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. Exo 2:2
He was hidden unseen for three months; three, a sign of Messiah.
And when she had opened it, she saw the child, and, behold, the babe wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children.” Then said his sister to Pharaoh’s daughter, “Shall I go and call to you a nurse of the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?” And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, “Go.” And the maid went and called the child’s mother. And Pharaoh’s daughter said unto her, “Take this child away, and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” And the woman took the child, and nursed him. And the child grew, and she brought him unto Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, and she said, “Because I drew him out of the water.” Exo 2:6-10
Moses was miraculously raised up to life. Resurrection and life is a sign of Messiah. It is a clear prophetic picture of the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah, born to be the Deliverer of Israel.
Exo 3:1-4:17
3:1-4:17 {p} Call of Moses: the words and signs of YHVH
“I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians.” Exo 3:8a
The last time YHVH said He is come down was in Gen 11:5. Man was trying to establish his own way to come up to God, disregarding His command, but God came down to man. And now, when His people are enslaved in the kingdom of Egypt, a prophetic type for the kingdom of darkness, He is come down to deliver them, who knows their pain.
And YHVH said, “I have surely seen the affliction of My people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows.” Exo 3:7
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah Yeshua, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phi 2:5-8
“YHVH God of the Hebrews has met with us, and now let us go, we beseech you, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to YHVH our God.” Moses, Exo 3:18
Three is a sign of Messiah in Torah. It is a journey of three days from slavery in the kingdom to Egypt to the freedom to worship God; a prophetic type of Messiah’s journey of three days from death on a cross to resurrection life, by which we leave the kingdom of darkness and are reborn with new life, in freedom to worship God, no longer a slave to sin.
Exo 4:18-6:1
4:18-26 {p} Return to Egypt with God’s message and in His authority, in obedience
4:27-6:1 {s} Pharaoh’s response to Moses and the children of Israel
And they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Let us go, we pray you, three days’ journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto YHVH our God; lest He fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.” Exo 5:3
Again we have three as the sign of Messiah in Torah. Here it is preaching the Gospel of grace, for without a (substitutionary) sacrifice (to cover our sins), we are subject to wrath. But when we answer the call of God to depart the kingdom of darkness and come to Him, the sacrifice which has been made to YHVH applies, and we are no longer subject to wrath.
