Moses' Story and the Red Sea: Ex 2-14
Gen 15:13: God said the Israelites would be servants and afflicted for 400 years; Ex 12:40-41: it was 430 yrs. They were 30 yrs late. Perhaps bc Moses killed the Egyptian and fled?
Ex 2:10: Moses became Pharaoh's grandson

Ex 2:24-25: "God remembered… God saw… God knew"

Ex 7:13, 8:15, 9:12, 9:35, 10:20, 10:27, 11:9-10, 14:4: Pharaoh's heart is hardened, as God said
Ex 8-10: the first nine plagues:
- the Nile turns to blood
- frogs
- gnats
- flies
- death of their livestock
- boils
- hail
- locusts
- darkness
Ex 8:18-19: the magicians could not make gnats too, though they did turn their staffs to serpents and the Nile to blood and made frogs come up out of the waters. They told Pharaoh the gnats were the "finger of God."

12:29: the tenth plague: death of the firstborn
13:17-18: God doesn't lead the Israelites to the Promised Land through the land of the Philistines bc he knows they might change their minds if they meet war that soon. That's why they go to the Red Sea.
Ex 13:19: Moses takes Joseph's bones with him, as he instructed (Gen 50:25) and was later commended for this as an act of faith (Heb 11:22).
Ex 13:21: Pillar of cloud by day and fire by night
Ex 14: the people grumble, Moses cries out to the Lord, and God is annoyed; the Red Sea parts. Egyptians pursue; God throws them into a panic, and they retreat. Then the waters cover them (v28). The path is about 9 miles.
