Israel » A type of the apostate church when disobedient » Carried into bondage
Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.
So they put overseers of forced work over them, in order to make their strength less by the weight of their work. And they made store-towns for Pharaoh, Pithom and Raamses.
Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.
And the king of Egypt said to them, Why do you, Moses and Aaron, take the people away from their work? get back to your work.
How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we were living in Egypt for a long time; and the Egyptians were cruel to us and to our fathers:
Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
And God said that his seed would be living in a strange land, and that they would make them servants, and be cruel to them for four hundred years.
