- Take a few weeks to read through the book of Exodus (chapter 1-40). Is there anything that God by His Spirit is saying to you? Write it down.
- How does Genesis begin and end (Gen 1:1; 50:26)? How is Exodus a continuation of Genesis (Exo 1:1; Gen 46:8)?
- What are the 2 parts of Genesis [chapter 1-11; 12-50]? A simple 2 part division of Exodus [Outlines and divisions from every Exodus commentary differs]:

- What is the most important and famous moral code in world history and the central moral code of the Torah (Exo 20:1-17)? What would the world be like if people just lived by these 10 "Ten Words" (Exo 34:28)? Why are we unable to do so (Gen 6:5; 8:21; Ps 14:1-3; 53:1-3; Eccl 7:20)?
