Exodus 1 Bible Study - Where is God?

This week we cover Exodus chapter 1 in which the story of Israel in Egypt pics right up from Genesis 50. The text then quick establishes that there is a new Pharaoh on the throne that does not care about Joseph or the Hebrews but fears that their numbers will grow to great. To combat this threat Pharaoh oppresses the Israelites with hard slave labor and orders that all male Hebrew babies be killed. This sets up the birth story of Moses in Exodus chapter 2.
