Exodus 6 Bible Study, “why have you brought trouble on this people?” Moses asked God.

In Exodus chapter 6 God answers Moses' question at the end of chapter 5, “why have you brought trouble on this people?” God answers Moses with a recap of what he is going to do in the coming chapters of Exodus. Verses 13-30 of Exodus chapter 6 include a genealogy which traces from Jacob through his eldest three sons down to Moses and Aaron and ends at Aaron’s grandson Phinehas. This genealogy, though somewhat random, does have a purpose. God is sovereign and has a plan, from the beginning of time, until the end, God has a plan and is orchestrating it one step at a time.
