- Series: The StoryFormed Way
We pick up the Story this week with God’s people multiplying rapidly in Egypt. They are well on their way to becoming the “nation” that God promised. Unfortunately, their hosts, the Egyptians, also see them multiplying, and are afraid that Israel might easily rise up and conquer them. So they force them into hard labor, and begin to kill all males born to Israelite women. Under the pres- sure of slavery, God’s people cry out to him, not realizing that he has already set a rescue plan in motion in the birth and rise of Moses.
