Hey everybody, I'm Tim McEy and this is my podcast Exploring My Strange Bible.

I am a card carrying Bible history and language nerd who thinks that Jesus of Nazareth is

utterly amazing and worth following with everything that you have.

On this podcast I'm putting together the last ten years worth of lectures and sermons

where I've been exploring the strange and wonderful story of the Bible and how it invites

us into the mission of Jesus and the journey of faith.

And I hope this can be helpful for you too.

I also help start this thing called the Bible Project.

We make animated videos and podcasts about all kinds of topics in Bible and theology.

You can find those resources at thebibelproject.com.

With all that said, let's dive into the episode for this week.

Alright, so this is going to be part two of a three part series called the Torah Crash Course.

If you haven't listened to part one, I really recommend you go and do that.

That covered the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible.

In the second lecture, which was again a Friday night lecture that I did at Door of Hope Church

where I served as a teaching pastor I did this many years ago, the second part just

camps out in the second book of the Bible Exodus.

And specifically, we cover the famous story of Moses and Pharaoh and liberation of the Israelites.

That all culminates in the night of Passover and the deliverance of the people through the

waters of the sea and so on.

This was one of the most important foundation stories for the people of Israel in ancient

times. But also, this was the foundation story that Jesus himself connected into.
