Exodus 1
Exodus in Greek, The way out, or going out = Exodus in
Hebrew = "these are the names".
Exodus is the book of Redemption = Hence the work of redemption is called

Exodus 1:1 Now these are the names of the children of
Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob.
2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,
4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.
5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for
Joseph was in Egypt already.
6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and
multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.
8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.
9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of
the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to
pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto
our enemies, and fight against us, and so
get them up out of the land.
11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their
burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.
12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they
multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the
children of Israel.
13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:
14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in
morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their
service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.
15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which
the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:
16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women,
and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall
kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.
-
King of Egypt Kill all the
male children of the Hebrew women
-
Ye shall kill him all male but
if it be a daughter, then she shall
live.
17 But the midwives feared God, and
did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men
children alive.
-
The midwives feared God, and did not kill the
male children
18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives,
and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children
alive?
19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the
Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and
are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.
20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the
people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.
21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them
houses.
22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every
son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every
daughter ye shall save alive.
-
King of Egypt charged all his people to kill the
male children of the Hebrew children
-
Cast all the male children of the Hebrew into
the river.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
