This week on Reading between the Lines, we are learning more about the stories of the Women in Exodus.
The story of the Exodus has many layers that stand out to us based on our own histories and are embraced by different cultures. The majority of this book focuses on God’s call for Moses to lead God’s people and how God’s people respond to that leadership, especially when they are tired. But, the first few chapters of this book are heavily influenced by the overt and covert leadership and wisdom of the women and how God worked through them.
If not for Shiphrah and Puah subverting the pharaoh, many babies would have been killed.
If not for Jochebed, Miriam, and the pharaoh’s daughter, this one child to be named Moses would not have lived.
If not for Miriam’s song at the Red Sea or the Reed Sea, God’s people may not have joined together to worship and give thanks for God’s protection and presence with them.
If not for Zipporah and her sisters, her father may not have had Moses’ help for years and the Midianites and God’s people may not have been united through their marriage.
Through their stories, we see glimpses of how God calls people to do large and small things, sometimes watching from the sidelines for the right moment.
