Exodus 6

• Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb in his grave clothes. Likewise; Moses will take the Jews out of their Egyptian grave in their grave clothes (The Hebrew meaning of “Egypt” is grave/graveclothes/bound up). Both Lazarus and the Hebrews are resurrected from their grave for a new life.

God Renews His Promise to Israel

Exodus 6:¹Then the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ) said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

• Moses means “Drawn from water”
  • Moses is drawn “out” of the water from the Nile River.
  • Moses is drawn “out” of the water when the Red Sea is parted and God brings them ashore where not one single Hebrew is lost.
• The Pharaoh is “Tutmosis” ‘born of (drawn out of the water of) (the god) Thot’.
  • The “water breaks” when a woman gives birth.
  • The “water breaks” when God releases the wall of water of the Red Sea. By the water the Pharaoh is born and by the water the Pharaoh dies. Not one Egyptian is saved.

Exodus 6:²And God (‘ĕlōhîm) spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ).

Exodus 6:³ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty (‘ēl šaday), but by My name Lord (Yᵊhōvâ) I was not known to them.

 Exodus 6:⁵ And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

Exodus 6:⁶ Therefore say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ) ; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians,

I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

Exodus 6:⁷ I will take you as My people, and I will be your God (‘ĕlōhîm). Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God (Yᵊhōvâ ‘ĕlōhîm) who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

• The meaning of the word “Egypt” is to be bound up, like grave clothes, to be in captivity. It is symbolic throughout scripture for “worldliness” and the desires of the flesh. It is to be bound up by Satan.

• When God releases them of their captivity from “the world” in 1446 BC, it is a foreshadowing of Jesus who will also release mankind from their captivity.
  • The Passover lamb, killed on Nissan 14, was the gate for the Israelis to escape Egypt. Likewise; on the exact same day in (31 AD) Jesus was killed as the Passover Lamb of God, sacrificed for the sins of the world to free men from their captivity from sin.

Exodus 6:⁸ And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord (Yᵊhōvâ).’ ”
