Exodus
Exodus is the book of the rescue. A household of seventy has become a nation of slaves; God hears them, comes down, and brings them out with a mighty hand — and then leads them to a mountain, gives them His law, and moves into a tent in the middle of the camp so that He can travel with them.
Deliverance, covenant, and God dwelling with His people: it is the pattern the rest of Scripture is built on. These studies go chapter by chapter, the same way the rest of the Bible section does.
