What chapter in Exodus is a benchmark chapter like Genesis 12?
Exodus chapter 12 is the benchmark chapter comparable to Genesis chapter 12. It introduces the Passover, the institution that the Lord gave to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, marking the beginning of months for Israel. This chapter establishes a foundational observance that Orthodox Jews still practice today.
Les teaches that Exodus chapter 12 is a benchmark chapter much like Genesis chapter 12 because it introduces the Passover. He notes that the Passover season had just passed, and Orthodox Jews and other areas of Judaism still make a big ado over Passover, cleansing their houses of leaven from top to bottom. This practice goes back to the institution of Exodus chapter 12. Les then directs attention to verse 1, where the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, declaring that month as the beginning of months.
