3.4 Let’s Practice…
1. Where was Egypt located?
2. How was Egypt’s government different from Canaan’s?
3. What was the main ecological feature of the land that made Egypt able to exist?
4. Were the plagues simply a way of hurting Egyptians or was it a cosmic battle to prove Yahweh
was the real God?
5. Which plague attacked Sekhmet and why?
6. Why did Joseph’s body last long enough to be carried to the Promised land?
7. What was the difference between Jewish circumcision and Egyptian circumcision?
8. In what city is the Old Kingdom pyramids located?
3.5 Let’s Personalize this lesson…
Read through the book of Malachi and Joel this week and try to identify echoes of the
exodus motif. That is God delivering His people, judging the enemy, and returning them to
the promised relationship with Him in the promised land.
