1. From the perspective of the book of Exodus, what was the LORD's role in the events
it portrays?
From the occasions that were depicted, the Lord frees the Israelites by having Moses set them
free as an intermediate. The Lord's part was to lead them into the wild to have the general
population swing to Him and depend on Him however they would not. That is the point at which
they opposed God, and love a false god. Once that happened, the general population was driven
in the wilderness for 40 years; at that point they found the land that was guaranteed to them. I
experienced considerable difficulties attempting to answer this inquiry, I read the section and
after that skimmed over it three times and still couldn't generally discover the appropriate
response (Kline, 006).
2. What is the distinction between a suzerainty treaty or covenant and a parity treaty
or covenant?
With a suzerainty treaty a prevalent gathering and a second rate party are included. In a pledge
God guarantees His kin for them to act a specific conduct. For example, God had an agreement
with Israel. . Exodus 19:4-6 states, “You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore
you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My
voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all
the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the
words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.” (NKJV). A suzerainty treaty and an
agreement with God are an indistinguishable with the fact that as long as the general population
obeyed God, they would under the care of God.

A parity treaty is when two parties concur that is equivalent to be bound together in an
agreement. It is an assertion that takes individual connections to the following level.When you
are in a pledge with God, and obey Him, He secures you. In equality arrangement, it is just with
individuals and how they would concede to specific conditions. Based to Genesis 31:44-54,
“Now therefore, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and
me.” So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar. Then Jacob said to his brethren, “Gather
stones.” And they took stones and made a store, and they ate there on the load. Laban called it
Jegar Sahadutha, however Jacob called it Galeed. What's more, Laban stated, "This pile is an
observer between you and me this day." Therefore, its name was called Galeed, likewise Mizpah,
in light of the fact that he stated, "May the Lord watch between you and me when we are missing
one from another.
3. Where are the four possible places for the crossing of the Red Sea?
The four possible places for the crossing of the Red Sea were; Gulf of Suez, The Bitter
Lakes, Lake Menzaleh, and Lake Sirbonis.
4. Look up covenant in a Bible dictionary and determine its role in Israelite religion.
The word covenant implies when at least two individuals are bound together. The covenant in the
Israelite religion was to remind the general population that God would convey them from Egypt,
influence them God's kin, to be their God, and give them their own particular land (Tullock and
McEntire, 2006, pg. 67). Yet, the general population did not trust Moses and they overlooked
him but rather God insisted that he kept on telling them. Covenants were additionally made with
Abraham, about his relatives and their own property also.
