      Relevant Notes

      Unless otherwise stated, all scriptures are quoted from the following:

      o The True Bible Study Word Translation (TBS); Exodus chapters 1 – 14 are translated from the Greek old covenant writing (Septuagint) by Maura K. Hill.

      The various resources and reference materials are listed at https://www.truebiblestudy.com/bible-materials.

      In the TBS Word Translation and Study:

      o Words in a parenthesis () and italicized within a scripture verse are words inserted to help our English understanding of those words which are translated from Greek words.

      o Words in a parenthesis () in the study of the scripture verse are words of explanation regarding the words prior to the parenthesis.

      o Additional explanatory insertions within a scripture verse are enclosed in square brackets [] and italicized.

      o Additional explanatory notes in the study of a scripture verse are enclosed in square brackets [] and are usually in relation to the Greek or Hebrew texts.

      o A slash in the study of a scripture verse, such as: him/her, indicates an alternative word depending on the context.

      o A dash, such as: go there – to Jerusalem, indicates that a certain word or phrase is particularly important or deserving of extra emphasis.

      o Hyphenated words, such as: used-to-go, indicates that there is only one corresponding word in the Greek text.

      o Non-English words are printed with English letters.

      o I use an initial capital letter for all occurrences of the words Lord and Master when referring to either God or the Lord Jesus Christ due to my respect for them, therefore the reader will need to carefully consider the context of each particular usage to understand to whom that usage refers.

      o Where the word spirit refers to God, I use an initial capital or upper-case S - Spirit. But when the word spirit refers to the gift of holy spirit, etc, I use a small or lower-case s - spirit.

      o Underlined text is used for the English word but when translated from the Greek word alla to show that it implies a strong contrast to that-which has just previously been stated, and/or to strengthen a command.

      o Underlined text is used for the singular form of the word you to distinguish it from the plural form of the word you which is not underlined.

      o Underlined text is also used for emphasis.

      o In order to communicate the fullness of the emphasis when the Greek definite article is repeated both with the noun and its adjective - for example: I Corinthians 15:4 the Greek is te hemera te trite, which literally means the day the third - I translate it as "the day, the third (day)."

      o Verbs in the imperfect tense are translated with the words used-to and then the meaning of the verb.

      o For example: used-to teach indicates that the one teaching spent time teaching, his action of teaching continued during a past time that is now finished for some reason, not that it was a quick one-time occurrence. The one teaching taught others taking time to teach, and he may have repeated his teaching at different times and in different ways. This tense is also used to historically describe past events relating what happened.

      o Verbs in the perfect tense are translated from Greek with a superscript number 2 immediately following the verb - for example: it was written². This tense indicates an action done during a past time and which has a present continuing result, meaning it is still the same at the time the verb was spoken or written. Therefore, this example could be translated as: it was written and continues written.

      o The noun love¹ or the verb to love¹ comes from the Greek word agape which is God’s kind of love.

      When the Biblical writers wrote, there were no punctuation marks, no chapter or verse divisions indicated, etc, as we see them today in many of our English Bible translations and versions. Therefore we must read the whole context of each particular passage of Scripture for thought-content to more clearly understand the truth of what has been written.

      Also, the original language was not English, and therefore when I may write that the writer said or wrote such and such, please understand that the writer actually spoke and wrote in the original language the equivalent to that-which I state in the English language to the best of my knowledge.

      I recommend that while reading this book, you also have your usual Bible and Biblical study materials open, so as to compare verses and gain greater understanding of the truth of God’s Word.

      Introduction to Moses leaving Egypt, Exodus 1-14

      About 64 years after Joseph died and the descendants of Israel were still located in the area of Goshen in Egypt, Moses was born. They were waiting for the time when they could leave Egypt, with their household belongings and Joseph’s bones, and return to Canaan.

      Moses was a great-grandson of Levi who was a son of Jacob/Israel. Moses believed regarding the Christ, who was first promised by God in Genesis 3:15. The genealogy of the Christ includes Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah (Levi’s brother), Phares, Esrom, Aram, Aminadab, and Naasson (refer to Exodus 6:23).

      God apostled Moses towards Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, with instructions on how to lead His people so as to depart out from the land of Egypt.

      God multiplied His signs and wonders and then the descendants of Israel left Egypt on their journey back to Canaan.

      Sons of Israel in Egypt - Exodus 1

      Changes to the Egyptian rulership

      The Book of Genesis chapters 46 and 47 record that the sons of Israel moved from Canaan into the area of Goshen in Egypt in accordance with what God told Jacob/Israel. They were prospering in that location under the rulership of Joseph and Egypt’s king (Pharaoh) at that time.

      The Book of Exodus begins by restating some facts regarding their move into Egypt and it continues with events that occurred afterwards.

      Exodus 1:1-5:

      ¹:¹These (are) the names of the sons of Israel, the (sons) having journeyed² into Egypt unitedly with Jacob their father, each with their household went-into (Egypt): .2Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, .3Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, .4Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher, .5but Joseph used-to-be in Egypt; but all souls used-to-be five and seventy from Jacob.

      A name is a word or phrase given to a person, etc, to be called and known-by, in order to designate and describe the distinguishing and distinctive constitution, character, quality, workings, etc. Verse 1 calls Jacob by the name Jacob and by the name Israel:

      o The name Jacob identifies him as the one taking hold on another’s heel, a supplanter or contender, his actions via the natural category; it emphasizes that he is a member of mankind in the physical, fleshy category.

      o The primary meaning of the name Israel is that he is strong with God, striving or wrestling to receive God’s blessings, accomplishing God’s goals by doing God’s intention, being a prince of/for God by allowing God to be his guide via God’s spirit realm, whereby God commands, rules, and has authority over him – when he is Israel then also he is able with men. If/when he is strong with God via the spirit category then he is called by the name Israel.

      These are the names of the sons of Israel (the word son emphasizes origin, quality, and essence), emphatically and specifically the sons who journeyed (passed, traveled) into Egypt unitedly with Jacob their father (at the same time in union together with him), and this fact did not change because they remained in Egypt…

      o each with their household (by using the word each instead of all emphasis is given to each one of the sons individually, particularly, singly, distinctly – every individual son in union together with the people dwelling with them [the Hebrew text has ish / adult-male instead of each which also indicates an individual male human-being])

      o went into Egypt (came from Canaan into the area of the Nile valley):

      o Reuben (or Rouben, Ruben),

      o Simeon,

      o Levi (or Leui),

      o Judah (or Juda),

      o Issachar,

      o Zebulun (or Zaboulon, Zabulon),

      o and Benjamin,

      o Dan

      o and Naphtali (or Nephthali),

      o Gad

      o and Asher (or Asur),

      o but during the time when Jacob/Israel was moving into Egypt along with these sons, his son Joseph was already located in Egypt;

      …but all souls (every one of the living people) who went from Canaan into Egypt during that past time, historically, were five and seventy (75 souls) originating from Jacob (his own family [the Hebrew text includes the word thigh referring to the upper area of his legs, his loins; also the Hebrew text has 70 instead of 75]).

      The number 75 includes his son Joseph who had previously moved into Egypt, plus his sons and grandsons (refer to the Greek text of Genesis 46:20).

      In verse 5, the word souls is written referring to the life of a physical body which is evidenced by breathing; it is what allows creatures to move, swim, etc, living in the physical category. The soul is in the blood of living creatures whereby the blood is oxygenated as breathing in order to maintain their physical lives. If the blood is removed from the body that creature dies.

      Jacob had 75 living offsprings or descendants (refer to Genesis 46:27, plus Acts 7:14 and 15), counting those who were alive at the time that he moved into Egypt (when he was 130 years old; refer to Genesis 47:9) until his death (when he was 147 years old; refer to Genesis 47:28).

      The genealogy of the Christ includes Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah (refer to Matthew 1:1 and 2; Luke 3:33-38).

      Joseph’s sons, via Joseph himself, received the blessing of the firstborn-rights from Jacob/Israel (refer to Genesis 48:17-20 and chapter 49; I Chronicles 5:1 and 2).

      [Reference: Genesis 32:27-29, 35:10, 46:8-27.]

      Verses 6 and 7:

      .6But Joseph completed (his life) and all of his brothers and all that generation; .7and the sons of Israel were increased and they were multiplied and they became numerous, and they used-to be-fully-strong vehemently and the earth used-to-multiply them vehemently.

      In the course of time after the move into Egypt, Joseph completed his life (his life ended, he died, he expired at the age of 110 years old having spent 93 years in Egypt) and all of his brothers (they died) and all that generation (the specific race, descent or kind of living-beings died also, those members of mankind; this is not referring to the line of descent of sons born to them, but to the span of time covered by Jacob and his sons).

      The sons of Israel (in this context the word sons refers to the descendants of Israel, both male and female; this phrase uses the name Israel, instead of Jacob, to emphasize his walk with/for God via the spirit category)…

      o were increased (caused to augment, expand, grow in the physical category, as bearing fruit)

      o and they were multiplied (caused to be made-full, filled to fullness, as multiplication)

      o and they became numerous (came to pass to be a lot of people [the Hebrew text has the verb creep / team / swarm instead of became numerous]),

      …and during that past time they were continuing to be fully-strong vehemently (intensely having inherent strength to a great extent, very much) and the earth was continuing to multiply them vehemently (their population on the land filled to fullness to a great extent; emphasis is given by repeating the adverb – definitely very much).

      Additionally in these verses there is great emphasis given to what is written by the repetition of the Greek word kai which can be translated into English as and or also.

      [Reference: Genesis 50:26; Acts 7:17.]

      Verses 8-10:

      .8But a different king stood-up on Egypt who had not known Joseph, .9and he said to his nation,

      "Look!, the genus of the sons of Israel (are) a great multitude and it is strong over us; .10therefore come-this-way; let us be wise-against them, lest-perhaps they may be multiplied and when ever a war may come-together to us they will be added, even those-people, towards the contrary-people, and having warred-out us they will go-out from the earth."

      Another king of a different kind/sort arose on (came to power ruling over) Egypt who had not known Joseph.

      The Egyptian kings were also known by the title of Pharaoh; they were royal rulers, the ones who were the sovereigns, having royal dominion and government and rule and territory and power, etc. The dynasty had changed in Egypt.

      This king had not known (perceived, seen) and continued not to know the events regarding Joseph being second in command to a previous king/Pharaoh (refer to Genesis chapters 41 – 50).

      The king said to his nation (his group of people, his ethnic group; referring to the Egyptians)…

      o "Look (behold, see - in the sense of calling attention - pay attention, take notice)!,

      o the genus of the sons of Israel (the decent, kind, race, class, sort of being, lineage of the people known as ‘the sons of Israel’)

      o are a great multitude (a large fullness of people)

      o and it is strong over us (it has the inherent physical strength, the power beyond, in excess of, above the strength that we have);

      o therefore come-this-way (following-on logically come here);

      o let us be wise-against them (this is a polite command or a very strong suggestion advising those listening to him to think the correct way from his viewpoint regarding this topic – we ourselves should be skillful, expert in applying the knowledge that we have about them, do what is required by us in this situation with intensity contrary to the people of that genus; this verb expresses the king’s intention, will, volition in this situation),

      o lest-perhaps (whether or not at some time, whether it may happen or not that)

      o they would be multiplied (caused to be made-full, filled to fullness, as multiplication becoming numerous)

      o and at whatever time that a war may come-together to us (a battle would move or occur in conjunction with other things on/against us)

      o they will be added (caused to be put or placed in addition to what they already have), even (emphatically) those people,

      o towards the contrary-people (those who are covertly opposing us, who are against us from underneath, stealthily adverse to us),

      o and after they war out us (battle out, from, against us)

      o they will go out from the earth (come out, exit from the land of Egypt)."

      [Reference: Isaiah 52:4; Acts 7:17-19.]

      Verses 11-14:

      .11And he stood captains of the works on them in order that they may treat them badly in the works; and they built strong cities for Pharaoh, both Pithom and Ramesse, and On which is a city of Sun.

      .12But according-that they used-to-humble them so-much they used-to-become more, and vehemently they used-to-be-strong vehemently.

      And the Egyptians used-to-abominate from the sons of Israel, .13and the Egyptians used-to-oppress the sons of Israel with violent-strength; .14even they used-to-cause their life to feel-pain in the works, the hard (works), the clay and the brick-making, and all the works, the (works) in the fields, according to all the works which they enslaved them with violent-strength.

      The king stood (in the sense of causing to quickly approach and take position standing firm)…

      o captains (people with a title identifying them as those who are aware of their surroundings, who can fix or set their minds on a task during any situation or circumstance so as to instruct others regarding their activities to accomplish that work; they were rulers)

      o of the works (pertaining to the deeds, things wrought, effected, or produced by actions expending energy [the Hebrew text has tasks instead of works – indicating that works would be performed but the workers would give the products or tributes to/for other people])

      o on (over, near) the descendants of Israel

      …for the purpose and result that they would treat them badly (inflict and affect them with badness) within the sphere of action of the works (as compulsory service, bearing burdens, forced labor, carrying loads); and they built strong cities for Pharaoh (they erected walled or fortified towns having strongness, being firm or secure for the Egyptian king whose title was Pharaoh [the Hebrew text has storage-areas instead of strong cities referring to fortified cities where they would store supplies]), both Pithom (or Pitho) and Ramesse (or Rameses), and On which is a city of Sun ([the Hebrew text omits the last phrase]).

      However, during that past time, historically, in accordance with the fact that they were continuing to humble them so-much (repeatedly to such an amount bring them to lowliness, cause them to be in the state of being in a low degree, cause them to be in a position of humbleness with respect to what Pharaoh said)…

      o the descendants of Israel were continuing to become more (repeatedly came to pass to be comparatively larger in number),

      o and vehemently they were continuing to be strong vehemently (the repetition of the adjective vehemently gives great emphasis – emphatically to a great extent, indeed very much, definitely they had inherent strength, as breaching or breaking through the limitation that the Egyptians had set for them).

      Also during that past time the Egyptians were continuing to abominate away from the sons of Israel (they were abhorring, disgusted, turning themselves away from their faces or presence because of loathing or stinking, being detestable, revolting, repugnant as the bad smell of vomit or other voiding of the stomach [the Hebrew text has displeased instead of abominate]).

      In addition, the Egyptians were continuing to oppress the sons of Israel with violent-strength (to overpower them by their ability, the capability of forceful strength which they exercised against them [the Hebrew text reads: caused to serve in harshness / rigor / being inflexible])…

      o emphatically to the degree and in explanation that the Egyptians were continuing to cause their life to feel-pain (the singular form of the word life is used to emphasize one group of people sharing the same manner of living – being caused to suffer pain of body and mind, being distressed [the Hebrew text has bitter instead of feel-pain])

      o within the cause and sphere of action of the works (the deeds effected or produced by their actions expending their energy [the Hebrew text has service / slavery as one work in service being done by one group of people instead of works three times in this verse giving great emphasis])

      o emphatically and specifically the hard works (works that are harsh, tough works, as a leaf becoming hard/stiff having detached itself from the tree that was to be its source of water and nourishment to give and maintain life),

      o the clay (as a potter would use it to make vessels by adding liquid to the clay
