Introduction
It has been over four hundred years since Jacob’s family relocated to Egypt. The first chapter of Exodus informs us that Jacob’s family has now grown into an entire nation, which fulfills God’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:2). Not only are the Hebrews sojourners in Egypt, they pose a threat to Pharaoh simply by virtue of their numbers. Therefore, the Egyptians made their lives exceedingly harsh, enslaving the Hebrews and working them seven days a week to build cities and monuments. The Hebrew nation was under great affliction, but all that has happened to Jacob’s descendants was spoken beforehand to Abraham by God.
God said to Abram, “Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years. But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions.
— Genesis 15:13-14
