Exodus 15:1 - 16:3

ExodusSteve Gregg
Exodus 15:1-16:3 narrates the Israelites' journey after escaping slavery, including their crossing of the Red Sea and destruction of the Egyptian army. The chapter introduces prophetess Miriam and emphasizes the leadership roles of women in Old Testament times. Further, the Israelites faced a lack of provisions in the wilderness, leading to complaints against leadership, and the author reflects on the trade-off between freedom and security offered by governments versus the communal care approach of the early Christian community. The speaker suggests trusting in God's provision and emphasizes that hard times are testing moments.
