Genesis

This chapter reads in much the same way as you would with your family history. It talks about parents and their children and the major events that shaped their lives. It seems life was a bit ‘rough’ in those days

These include the story of Dinah who was raped at another village, which resulted in the total slaughter of all the men, and the rest of the village been plundered and looted (Genesis 34)

It also includes the story of Joseph who was sold by his jealous brothers into slavery, and ends up in Egypt. Eventually, he ends up in charge of getting Egypt through a seven year famine that he had predicted from analysing the Pharoah’s dreams (Genesis 37)

Another example is the story of Abel, who was killed out of jealosy by Cane when God favoured his brothers offering more than his own.

Many of Joseph’s tribesmen moved to Egypt because of the famine which had spead to their homeland

Exodus

The Pharoah that was fond of Joseph dies, and the new Pharoah views Joseph and his fellow tribe as unwelcome guests who keep multiplying by the day. The Pharoah made them all slaves and oppressed them.

Moses was born, who became their new leader as he had direct contact with the man upstairs.

Eventually, we end up with the ten plagues of Egypt to encourage the Pharoah to let Moses and his people leave

After plagues of blood, frogs, gnats, flies, livestock,boils, hail,locusts, darkness, and firstborn, the Pharoah finally has finally had enough of them, but he changes his mind shortly after they left.

Moses parts the red sea, and leds the tribe out of Egypt, the Pharoah’s troops got wiped out when the red sea resumes it’s natural state.

Moses climbs a mountain to recieve the ten commandments (Exodus 20) (Technically, Moses is the first person to download from the cloud onto a tablet).

Meanwhile, everyone else had decided to worship a golden calf, which left Moses a little bit pissed when he got back.

The rest of this chapter is about setting down law and how to make a a ceremonial ark, table, tabernacle, altar, courtyard etc.
