80. Called Out of Egypt Exodus 9:1
The call has a double application. It was a call to Pharaoh: "Let My people go that they may serve Me," and it was a call to the Israelites to get out of Egypt.
1. It was a call based upon God's covenant with Abraham, to give to him and his seed the promised
land--Exod. 6:2-4.
2. It was a call of deliverance, for Jehovah had determined to deliver Israel from the burden and bondage
of Egypt--Exod. 6:5, 6.
3. It was a call based on sacrifice, as the whole of Exodus 12 depicts in the Passover ordinance.
4. It was a call based on promise, for Jehovah had said, "I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be
to you a God" (Exod. 6:7).
5. It was a call associated with what Jehovah calls "a difference" which He put "between the Egyptians
and Israel" (Exod. 11:7).
6. It was a call illustrating power, for the night of Israel's deliverance was an exhibition of the right hand
of God's delivering grace for Israel, and His outstretched arm of judgment against the Egyptians—Exod. 12:42.
7. It was a call associated with a memorial feast to remind Israel of what Jehovah had done in bringing
them out of Egyptian bondage—Exod. 12:43-51.
