In The Beginning - Adventuring Through The Old Testament (Paperback)

Abraham, his son Isaac, and his grandson Jacob had joined in laying a firm foundation. The years which the people of Israel spent in Egypt supplied not only a period of testing and trial but also a time of deep significance. Joseph provided a clear indication of the Hebrews' capacity for government by his extraordinary success when serving as Pharaoh's prime minister.With Moses, the spirit of freedom unfolded, and under the guidance of God he presented the necessity of Moral Law in the form of the Ten Commandments. Moreover, under Moses' leadership and that of his successor, Joshua, their people were freed from the physical and mental bondage of Egypt.
