Egypt

Gen 3:8-11. Gen 4:1-8. Gen 11:1-4. Exo 1:1-14. Exo 3:7-10. Deut 10. Ps 82. Isa 61. Lk 4. Mt 5:3. Mt 25. 1Pe 5:5. Gal 2:10. Jam 27.

The Egyptians oppressed the Isrealites as slaves and ruled over them ruthlessly in order to protect the empire. The Egyptians placed slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor. This is a key example in the Biblical story of sin manifesting itself in the form of empire. God heard the cry of the Israelites and liberated them from their oppressor. He took them out of Egypt and into the desert. This liberation from oppression under Egypt is a central, defining moment in history where God inaugurated his plan for restoring the world.
