Exodus 12 - The Passover and Exodus from Egypt | Bible Podcast, David Alley, Peace Christian Church

In this video listen to Exodus 11 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.In Exodus 11 God announces the final plague, the worst one of all, the plague of the firstborn. He also tells the Israelites to ask their neighbors for gold, and they are given huge wealth. Egyptian gold and the skills to work with it, are seen in the face mask of the boy Pharaoh Tutankamun.Interestingly the Israelites take Egyptian gold into the desert with them, and it will be used to build the ark of the covenant, and other tabernacle furniture. Leaving Egypt are also Oholiab and Bezalel, skilled tradesmen at working with raw materials such as the gold. God provided for them. Of course before that, the gold would be used to make a gold calf.Here we also see the shortest chapter in Exodus, a reminder that chapter breaks were somewhat arbitrary, and sometimes breaking thoughts, although not so much in Exodus. This is the work of Archbishop Stephen Langton in the 1200s.
