Listen, Jack, no malarkey! My father used to say, "C'mon, man, it's the book of Exodus! That's where it all started, literally. So, here's the deal. The Lord spoke to Moses and said, "I am the Lord. I will free the Israelites from their slavery in Egypt and take them to be my own people, in a land flowing with milk and honey." Excuse me, but I tell you what, it ain't gonna happen overnight, that's for sure. I'm not joking, see here, Jack, it took a whole lot of plagues and a whole lot of miracles to make it happen. But what was that? The Lord showed his power and kept his promise - and the Israelites were free! Or uh, you know, something like that. So, folks, this chapter reminds us that God honors his word - and not gonna happen otherwise!
