Introduction to Exodus
Pastor Jack opens the Book of Exodus with a detailed introduction that spans history, archaeology, and chronology. He walks through the dating of the Exodus, placing it at approximately 1441 B.C., and explores the Egyptian dynasties?including the reigns of Thutmose II, Thutmose III, Hatshepsut, and Amenhotep?to illuminate Moses' upbringing in the height of Egypt's glory. Drawing from archaeological finds like the Tell el Amarna letters and excavations at Jericho and Pithom, Pastor Jack shows how extra-biblical evidence corroborates the biblical record and deepens our appreciation for Moses' forsaking of Egypt's splendor to identify with God's people.
