Yahweh's Covenant To Egypt

In the covenant made by Yahweh with Abram it seemed far-fetched, however, through Moses and the mosaic covenant, those Hebrews would become Yahweh’s fulfilment to Abraham. This time seems like a slow paced culture with more quiet time in nature, in which people could communicate and maintain a close relationship with Yahweh. Unlike, our hectic, chaotic, and fast paced world we live in today. Our understanding of their faith, and knowledge of Yahweh’s laws seem unfathomable, similar to some family of bush people who live in the mountains. At the same time, we live in an advanced culture where knowledge is readily available, so people can learn. Even solitude proved difficult for the Hebrews, as they continued to rebel. Through each step the Hebrews became more established as a nation. Furthermore, the relationship between Yahweh’s covenant with Abraham and the Exodus, only became a reality later, even though, those Hebrews needed to endure Yahweh’s

divine plan through faith, laws, and understanding.
After, Abraham, many Hebrews grew distant from Yahweh, so many ended up as slaves, and while many lacked faith, Yahweh always used a faithful servant to prove his divinity. For example, early on in Joseph’s life he endured many tragic experiences, and he was used by Yahweh to rise in Egypt from slave to “a chief official in Pharaoh’s court,” (Carvalho 62). Amid, a real separation from Yahweh, Moses escapes death as a child growing up as one of Pharaohs sons, but he becomes Yahweh’s tool to free his people. Then again, Abraham and Sarah also lacked faith, by allowing her Egyptian handmaiden to conceive a child, and this created a split between Muslim and Israel. While, the Hebrew were not faithful, through Yahweh Moses performed miracles as proof to Egypt and those faithless Hebrews. Only those faithful enough to perform a sacrificial ritual of killing and spreading the blood of a lamb across the top door post, would be spared by the angel of death, and would be known as Passover.
Before, the Exodus the only laws available for the Hebrews were passed down through the patriarchs and matriarchs, but through the mosaic covenant the laws became tangible.

To begin, most early Hebrews lived separate from outside temptations like: false gods, or other sinful civilizations, establishing a solid environment for a family relationship with Yahweh. While those who lived in sinful cities were controlled by a god king, and many laws required evil deeds like “child sacrifice”, but Yahweh’s law was animal sacrifice, and later Jesus played ultimate sacrifice (Carvalho 84). This proves Yahweh’s laws are fair and blood is key. In other word, being surrounded by evil cultures, those Hebrews adapted many of their bad habits. Even those who witnessed Yahweh’s miracles during Exodus, also continued to worship other god’s, so he established his laws and presence as the Ark of the Covenant. Giving them no excuse, but they continued in their lawlessness, causing more setbacks in the establishment of Solomon’s

temple.
Next, the transition from Genesis to Exodus shows a common lack of understanding by even the most righteous of Hebrews, and even Yahweh’s fulfilled covenant with Abraham faces this problem. Once King David, established Yahweh’s throne, in Jerusalem, those sons/daughters of Abraham finally gain the land promised, but this lack of understanding made it a tragic and long experience. If Abraham and Moses had remained faithful in belief and understood the end result, would the Hebrews have reached the promise land earlier? Only Yahweh knows, and we lost that understanding with the original sin, so we have to have faith and believe. Even Abram proves the lack of understanding of what Yahweh would establish with King David and later Jesus. By the same token, those Hebrews who grew up in captivity and escaped with Moses, also continued following Egyptian rituals, because they were naïve and only Moses understood Yahweh’s laws. Indeed, those Hebrews who wandered in the wilderness were learning and understanding laws, sacred rituals, and “what type of animals” to use in sacrifice or for consumption (Carvalho 107). Training his people for future generations to follow and create his kingdom and the Promised Land.
On the whole, the relationship between Abraham’s covenant and the Exodus, was a set path established by Yahweh, for those people and future generations to discern and understand. By, learning from mistakes, and creating a written laws and unique ritual practices, then Hebrews maintained separation from other neighboring cultures. The creation of the Ark of the Covenant established Yahweh on Earth.
