Summary of Exodus 22

Key takeaway
Exodus 22 invites us to know God better and respond in faith. As you read, ask: What does this passage say about who God is, who I am, and what I'm called to do?
How Exodus 22 fits the whole book
Exodus tells how God hears the cry of His enslaved people, defeats the gods of Egypt, parts the sea, and brings Israel to Sinai to make them His own. It introduces redemption by blood (Passover) and the dwelling presence of God (tabernacle). Chapter 22 of Exodus contributes to this larger story by deepening one or more of the book's themes — for example, god's character and glory and sin, grace, and redemption.
