It means a ransom has to be paid. It means eventually some held hostage finally enjoys freedom because of another’s great sacrifice. This story is re-told over & over again...in both the O.T. & N.T. Of course, the greatest “version” of it is the story of Jesus Christ and His death & resurrection. Israel’s redemption serves as a type. Read the story and be prepared to answer the following questions. 1) What do we learn about God and the suffering of His people? (3:7-9) What instructions did God have for Moses? (3:10) 2) How did Moses react? (3:11-14; 4:1-13) What do we learn from Acts 7:22 that helps clarify some of Moses’ statements to God? 3) How did God end this “exchange” with Moses? (4:14-17) 4) What “setback” shook Moses’ confidence? (5:1-19) How did the people react? (5:20-21) 5) How did Moses react? (5:22-23) What was God’s reassurance? (6:1; cp. 3:19-20) 20
