Episode Chapters

1. Intro
   0:00 – 2:27
2. Do the seven women in Exodus mirror the seven women in Genesis?
   2:27 – 2:32
3. "Daniel from Pensacola, Florida Hey, Tim and Jon. I'm Daniel from Pensacola, and here’s my question about the theme of the exodus. You briefly mentioned there are seven women in Exodus chapters 1-4 that make key moral choices serving to liberate Israel. I noticed there are also exactly seven women in the Genesis scroll who face key moral choices, each of which is morally dubious: Eve, Sarah, Hagar, Rebekah, Rachel, Leah, and Tamar (the other three named women in Genesis don’t appear to have moral agency in their stories). I’m wondering if the seven women in Exodus mirror these seven women in Genesis. I’m also wondering how the literary device of women acting in particular ways might be important to the theme of the exodus way, like you pointed out with Rahab in Jericho, or you might see with Hannah in the Samuel scroll, or with Mary in the Jesus stories. Thank you for all you do, and I hope you have a great day."
   2:32 – 11:31
4. What birth imagery can we pull out of the exodus story?
   11:31 – 11:43
5. "Queena from Greenwood, Delaware Hi, Tim and Jon! As I have been listening to Exodus, I have been thinking a lot about the birth of my children. My imagination and memories have been ignited by the Israelites groaning (labor), the blood on the door (marks of a woman's cycle or delivery), Rahab’s cord in the window (an umbilical cord at an opening), the wilderness as the long wait of pregnancy, and the waters of the Red Sea and Jordan river as akin to amniotic fluid. The term “exodus” even reminds me of how a baby exits a mother’s body! Do you think there is more birth imagery to pull out of this story arc, and would you connect this to Jesus delivering us or to his mother Mary somehow?"
   11:43 – 24:27
6. Are there hyperlinks elsewhere in the Bible that connect to Pharaoh’s hardened heart?
   24:27 – 24:33
7. "Matt from San Francisco, California The exodus functions as a template for a story told again and again. And that makes me wonder about God’s relationship to Pharaoh. Sometimes in the exodus story, it says that Pharaoh hardens his own heart, and sometimes it seems to say that God hardens his heart. So that makes me curious if there are any hyperlinks to other hardened hearts that link back to this moment, or if that tells us something about God’s heart to oppressors generally, or maybe even God’s relationship to evil. Thanks!"
   24:33 – 34:37
8. Is the circumcision story with Zipporah and Moses’ son connected to Passover?
   34:37 – 34:45
9. "Zach from Oswego, Illinois In the, “Jesus as the New Moses” episode, you said that Moses goes through what all the people will. Moses is rescued through the waters, and so are the people, but you didn’t mention Moses being delivered from death, in a house, with blood like the people during Passover. So I am wondering if the story of Zipporah and Moses fits that rescue and redemption story. It starts with them staying at a place overnight and there is a threat of death. The circumcision blood seems to be important because God leaves Moses alone once the blood is present. Later in Exodus, those who are circumcised can participate in the meal of Passover. And the children, when asked why they do this redemption practice, they’re told the story of how God delivered them out of Egypt with the plagues of the Egyptian firstborn and the redemption of God’s people. Is this the connection?"
   34:45 – 38:54
10. How do the Passover lamb and Yom Kippur lamb interact in the biblical story?
    38:54 – 39:18
11. "Christian from Portland, Oregon Hi, my name is Christian, and I live in Portland, Oregon. I’m curious about how we think about Jesus’ death in relation to the Hebrew Bible. On Good Friday, should our primary lens be the Passover lamb or the Day of Atonement lamb of Yom Kippur? Sometimes Christian tradition seems to lean more into the Yom Kippur imagery of atonement for temple cleansing, but in the gospels, Jesus dies during Passover, not the Day of Atonement. Could you reflect on how these two images, the Passover lamb and the Yom Kippur lamb, interact in the biblical story, how they differ, and how that might shape the way we understand and commemorate Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and every Sunday?"
    39:18 – 58:50
12. Is there any connection between God’s Spirit descending on Jesus like a dove at his baptism and the dove Noah sent out of the ark?
    58:50 – 58:57
13. "Ruth from Northern Ireland Hi, Jon and Tim, my name is Ruth. I’m from Northern Ireland. And my question is from the episode on Jesus as the new Moses. You described Jesus’ baptism as a kind of ark moment where he went through the waters as Moses had done in his ark as a baby. But it made me think of Noah’s story, and I’m wondering if when God’s Spirit descended on Jesus like a dove at his baptism, is there any connection to the dove that Noah sent out of the ark in Genesis 8? Thanks so much, you guys, for all you do at BibleProject."
