Exodus and Numbers: The Exodus from Egypt

by John F. MacArthur Jr.

Although the descendants of Jacob moved to Egypt as honored guests, in time they became despised slaves groaning under the mistreatment of Pharaoh. In response to the people’s cries, God called a man named Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt into Canaan, but their journey took a dramatic forty-year detour when they failed to trust in God.


 


In this study, John MacArthur guides readers through an in-depth look at the historical period beginning with God’s calling of Moses, continuing through the giving of the Ten Commandments, and concluding with the Israelites’ preparations to enter the Promised Land. This study includes close-up examinations of Aaron, Caleb, Joshua, Balaam and Balak, as well as careful considerations of doctrinal themes such as “Complaints and Rebellion” and “Following God’s Law.”


 


The MacArthur Bible Studies provide intriguing examinations of the whole of Scripture. Each guide incorporates extensive commentary, detailed observations on overriding themes, and probing questions to help you study the Word of God with guidance from John MacArthur.

Reviews

[Kristina · Rating 3 out of 5]

some thoughts:

-not comprehensive, skips large sections
-verse by verse commentary for chapters included
-surface level questions, didn't add to the study & lots of personal application/feeling oriented

I enjoyed the verse by verse structure for the chapters covered, but there were large portions from these Books that were overlooked entirely. I'd be open to going through more of these study guides, particularly the Genesis volumes (since they're more broken down and I'd assume more comprehensive).
