Escaping Egypt
Exodus 12:12 - 13
On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals,
and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.
The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are,
and when I see the blood, I will pass over you.
No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.
PASSOVER
25 When you enter the land that the Lord will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony.
26 And when your children ask you, ‘What does this ceremony mean to you?’
27 then tell them, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the Lord,
who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’”
Last week you will remember how the Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go. However, it was only after God sent ten plagues on Egypt, and in the end, the Pharaoh's son was even killed. The Israelites obeyed God, and left right away. They followed the Lord's instructions and ate the Passover meal in haste. The bread they made did not contain yeast and is called unleavened bread. This type of bread is still used today by Jewish people to celebrate God's protection from that tenth plague. Now our story finds the Israelites once again in a predicament…..
