Study Notes

Egyptians believed their Pharaohs to be gods or representatives of gods.
The Lord overcomes all the powers of Egyptian gods through Pharaoh, demonstrating His power and presence in the world.
The Exodus is about YAHWEH, not Moses, who is His prophet.
Each plague shows YAHWEH's control over natural and supernatural forces, making it clear that He is the only God.
Moses, on his way to confront Pharaoh, faces an attack from God because he hasn't circumcised his son, an offense against the covenant.
Circumcision is a sign of God's covenant with Israel, and Zipporah performs it to stop God's wrath.
Moses doesn't want Gershom to face the same hardships as he did for being circumcised.
Overcoming Egyptian gods through Pharaoh glorifies YAHWEH, establishing Him as the only God and Israel as His special covenant nation.
The Exodus story is the centerpiece of the Old Testament, with all subsequent writings looking back to it, similar to how the gospels act as the centerpiece of the New Testament.
