b'After Jacob takes his final breath, Joseph\\u2019s brothers fear that he will seek vengeance, but Joseph doesn\\u2019t hold a grudge. Instead of seeking vengeance or extracting payment, he brings God\\u2019s grace, provision, and sovereign orchestration to mind, and ensures them that he will care for their families. God\\u2019s provision for Israel is clear in the beginning chapters of Exodus, but a new king in Egypt sees Israel\\u2019s prosperity as a threat, and imposes harsh laws including the murder of their newborn sons. This is where we meet Moses, a lowly Hebrew who is rescued from destruction and raised in pharaoh\\u2019s house. As an adult he kills another man and flees town. As we will soon see, the Lord has plans for this man of strange circumstances.'
