Exodus — Season 1, Episode 8: Are You Open To God's Call?

Episode synopsis

Jordan and the roundtable discuss chapters eighteen through twenty: Moses acts as judge for his people, he reconciles with his family (especially his father-in-law, Jethro), Jethro instructs Moses to see God as the true judge, and Moses teaches a select few the laws to allow them to rule over the people. Additionally, they review the initial events of Mount Sinai when God revealed himself to Moses, Israel as the sacrificial first born nation, and God’s presentation of the Ten Commandments. The scholars address the importance of sacrifice, compassion, and the relationship between justice and mercy, problems with unconditional love, and the fundamental structures of reality as the first half of the Exodus seminar comes to a close.
