This series takes us literally out of Egypt and into the promised land with the following topics:
- The Captive People: Moses is shown to them as their deliverer
- Two ways in which Moses is shown to the people
- Moses, figure of the divinity of Jesus Christ
- The Passover and the deliverance of the people
- The Red Sea
- The desert
- The Law on Mount Sinai
- The Ark of the Covenant
- The Bloody Sacrifices and the Blood used everywhere
- The Camp and the Fatherland
In some ways this is one of the most interesting elevations, because Bossuet clearly relates the figures/types in the Old Law and the history of the Israelites to the events of the New Testament in a way that, in our current rush to hyperliteralism, has been lost.
