This is a good example of the Christian teaching of "God is just" in this case being that god promised Moses freedom and delivered. However‚ one could also argue that since he only killed the firstborn of the Egyptians‚ that this violates that same teaching. The argument being that since god favoured the Israelites over the Egyptians‚ his actions are not

Old Testament writings reiterate God’s faithfulness towards Israel. “The Old Testament indicates that God’s law was specially revealed to Israel in the context of His redeeming and delivering His people from bondage‚” (Bahnsen 1980). But before Moses‚ God established an unconditional covenant with Abram when he obeyed Him. God changed Abram’s name to Abraham and told him that his descendants would possess the land of Canaan forever. “I will make of you a great nation‚ and I will bless you‚ and

In the Bible’s account of the fall of Jericho‚ Joshua‚ who had been chosen to succeed Moses‚ sent two spies into Jericho. These spies were helped by a prostitute named Rahab whose house was built against one of the outer walls.

Jumping to a more civilized group of people‚ lets look at Moses and his followers. These are a people that had permanent cities‚ farm lands‚ and infrastructure set in place. Strangers came in and out of town on a daily basis and although wars were still fought over land‚ there was no need to assume that any stranger

Oppressed by the Pharaoh‚ the Israelites were subjugated and forced to do the bidding of Egyptian society. Even with Moses‚ their connection to God‚ the Israelites still lacked the means to break free from the chains of Pharaoh. They required God’s assistance in order to escape slavery. The miracles that wreaked havoc upon Egypt at the command of Moses and Aaron are generally known as the “plagues” of Egypt‚ the exact number depends on how people differentiate them.

There exists a strong relationship between Genesis and Exodus. In this regard‚ both books give Christians detailed analysis of the origin of humankind and his relationship with God. The book of Genesis provides the details of the existence of earth as void and without form followed by the creation process‚ man’s disobedience‚ and punishment. Moreover‚ Genesis provides the lineage of God’s servants mainly Abraham. Genesis has detailed information on Gods covenants with Abraham on his greatness though
