The Israelites from Abraham to the Exodus
Abraham
God said to Abram, "As for me, this is my covenant with you: You shall be the ancestor of a multitude of nations (Genesis 17:4)."
"No longer shall your name be Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you the ancestor of a multitude of nations" (Gen. 17:5).
"God said to Abraham, 'As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. I will bless her, and she shall give rise to nations; kings of people shall come from her'" (Gen. 17:15-16).
Convenance with God
Willing to sacrifice his own son to show devotion to God: "He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son" (Gen. 22:9-10).
Israelites
Convenance established between Abraham and God, and eventually the Israelites.
To show devotion and convenance to God, Israeli men are to be circumcised: "This is my convenient, which you shall keep between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among shall be circumcised. You shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you" (Gen. 17:10-11).
Offspring as a central role in the creation and expansion of the Israelite people.
Abraham's two daughters decide to have sex with their father in order to continue a lineage: "Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father" (Gen. 19:32).
Sacrifice
Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac (Gen. 22:9-10),
Isaac
Abraham's convenance to God is "passed down" to Isaac after his passing: "Reside in this land as an alien, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you and to your descendants I will give all these lands, and I will fulfill the oath that I swore to your father Abraham" (Gen. 26:3-4).
Isaac passes along a blessing to Jacob after being tricked into thinking he was giving a blessing to his other son, Esau (Gen. 27:24-40).
Jacob has a son Joseph, who is abandoned by his brothers and presumed dead by his father. Joseph becomes the Pharaoh of Egypt.
Exodus
Significant expansion of Israelite people
Feud between Egyptians and Israelites
Moses is the savior of the Israelites from the oppression of Pharaoh and the Egyptians (Exodus 3).
God intervenes in the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt: "The cry of the Israelites has now come to me; I have seen how the Egyptians oppress them. So come, I will send you to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt" (Exodus 3:9-10).
God interferes and attempts to release the Israelites from the Egyptians by punishing Pharaoh and the Egyptians with misfortunes and attacking their livelihood (Exodus 6-9).
Pharaoh summons Moses and Aaron and proclaims: "This time I have sinned; the Lord is in the right, and I and my people are in the wrong" (Exodus 9:27).
Moses and Aaron receive instructions from God and practice the first passover in response to Pharaoh's refusal to release the Israelites from Egypt (Exodus 12). The Israelites escape the Egyptians after experiencing passover.
Moses
Moses is chosen by God to save the Israelites from the Egyptians: "He said, 'I will be with you; and this shall be the sign for you that it is I who sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God on this mountain'" (Exodus 3:12).
Moses is told by his father-in-law to represent the Israelites before God. In response, he appoints people from Israel as officers and appointed officials (Exodus 18:25).
