We looked at the events of Moses's early life, how he was found in a basket in the river by the king's daughter, and how he was adopted into the king's family, growing up as a prince of Egypt.
Then there was the moment when he killed the Egyptian who had killed a fellow Israelite, followed by a flight into exile, marriage, and the birth of his son.
Many years were to elapse before Moses would return to Egypt. In the meantime the Israelites continued to groan under the yoke of slavery. The cry went up to the Lord and he 'remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.'
Soon he would act and Moses would have a pivotal place in God's plans - but that takes us to after half term when our course resumes.
