Context in Exodus 23
Show chapter context
Exodus 23 belongs to the middle movement of the book, especially the section often described as wilderness testing and arrival at Sinai. Exodus tells the story of Israel’s rescue from Pharaoh, the revelation of the divine name, the covenant at Sinai, and the tabernacle where God chooses to dwell among his people. Read this chapter with the wider themes of redemption, Passover, and covenant in view so the individual verses keep their proper weight.
