Hi, I'm Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a Year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation, discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. This is day 27. Let's get started. We are continuing. We've left the patriarchs. That was yesterday. That was the last, gosh, 20 days we were at the patriarchs. And now we're entering into Egypt and Exodus. And so in order to get through that story, We're beginning it with obviously Exodus chapter one and chapter two. We're also reading Leviticus chapter one and Psalm 44.
One of the reasons why we're reading Leviticus chapter one is because God gave that particular law, the law of Leviticus around the same time. And so the narrative story, the narrative book is in Exodus and the second reading, essentially the supplementary, not that it's any less the word of God, but the supplementary book being Leviticus chapter to um say okay now how it is what are the what are the rules what are the laws um for living in this community that's going to be set free sorry spoiler and and worshiping in this community that's going to be set free and so that's what we're going to go into today i'm always reading from the revised standard version the catholic edition as well as using specifically the great adventure bible from ascension when you get the great adventure bible one of the things you also get is you get the bible timeline
In the sense that you get all of the periods kind of broken down by color. So we've left when it came to the patriarchs, which is purple, leading right into Exodus, which is red.

These are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah. Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin. Dan and Naphtali. Gad and Asher. All the offspring of Jacob were 70 persons. Joseph was already in Egypt. Then Joseph died and all his brothers and all that generation. But the descendants of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly.
They multiplied and grew exceedingly strong so that the land was filled with them. Now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, behold, the sons of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. come let us deal shrewdly with them lest they multiply and if war befall us that they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens and they built for pharaoh store cities pithom and rameses but the more they were oppressed the more they multiplied and the more they spread abroad And the Egyptians were in dread of the sons of Israel, so they made the sons of Israel serve with rigor, and made their lives bitter with hard service, in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work they made them serve with rigor. Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shipra, and the other Pua,
When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him. But if it is a daughter, she shall live. But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, why have you done this and let the male children live?
