THE EXODUS | BIBLE SUMMARY

1. The Exodus

a) Our third period of Israel's history — WILDERNESS WANDERING — covers only 40 years, although it could have been but 40 days if not for the Exodus generation's disqualification from entering the promised land.

b) This time of Wandering in the Wilderness starts with the crossing of the Red Sea (marking the Exodus from Egypt) and ends with the crossing of the Jordan River (marking the entry into the promised land). The period includes an encampment at Sinai, where God gave the Law to Moses on the mountain. In this lesson we look at the first part of the wilderness wanderings — from crossing the Red Sea to the arrival at Sinai.
