Exodus opens with a list of names and a problem. The names are the sons of Jacob — seventy persons who came into Egypt. The problem is Pharaoh. A new king who did not know Joseph looks at the Israelite population and calculates: they are more numerous than we are; if war comes they will join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.
The solution Pharaoh implements is enslavement and affliction. Forced labor, taskmasters, hard service. And the result is the opposite of what he intended. The more they afflicted them the more they multiplied and grew. Vayyifru vayyishretsu — four verbs of increase in rapid sequence, the same vocabulary as Genesis 1:28's creation mandate. The covenant promise is not defeated by the affliction. It is accelerated by it.
Thread 2 is in the multiplying: the corporate covenant people taking shape under conditions designed to destroy them. Thread 5 is in the dispensational transition: the period of Egyptian bondage is the crucible that will produce the nation Moses leads to Sinai. The Genesis promise had to become a people before the Mosaic covenant could be given. The affliction is the womb.
The more they afflicted them the more they multiplied — the covenant promise of Genesis 12:2 (I will make you a great nation) is operating under the conditions most designed to prevent it; the affliction becomes the instrument of the fulfillment.
וַיִּפְרוּ וַיִּשְׁרְצוּ וַיִּרְבּוּ וַיַּעַצְמוּ (vayyifru vayyishretsu vayyirbu vayyaatsmу) — they were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty — four verbs of increase in sequence; the wayyiqtol chain of growth that mirrors the creation mandate of Genesis 1:28 (be fruitful and multiply); the covenant God is keeping his Genesis 12 promise in the most hostile environment available

Exodus opens with a list of names and a problem. The names are the sons of Jacob — seventy persons who came into Egypt. The problem is Pharaoh. A new king who did not know Joseph looks at the Israelite population and calculates: they are more numerous than we are; if war comes they will join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land.
The solution Pharaoh implements is enslavement and affliction. Forced labor, taskmasters, hard service. And the result is the opposite of what he intended. The more they afflicted them the more they multiplied and grew. Vayyifru vayyishretsu — four verbs of increase in rapid sequence, the same vocabulary as Genesis 1:28's creation mandate. The covenant promise is not defeated by the affliction. It is accelerated by it.
Thread 2 is in the multiplying: the corporate covenant people taking shape under conditions designed to destroy them. Thread 5 is in the dispensational transition: the period of Egyptian bondage is the crucible that will produce the nation Moses leads to Sinai. The Genesis promise had to become a people before the Mosaic covenant could be given. The affliction is the womb.
The more they afflicted them the more they multiplied — the covenant promise of Genesis 12:2 (I will make you a great nation) is operating under the conditions most designed to prevent it; the affliction becomes the instrument of the fulfillment.
וַיִּפְרוּ וַיִּשְׁרְצוּ וַיִּרְבּוּ וַיַּעַצְמוּ (vayyifru vayyishretsu vayyirbu vayyaatsmу) — they were fruitful and increased abundantly and multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty — four verbs of increase in sequence; the wayyiqtol chain of growth that mirrors the creation mandate of Genesis 1:28 (be fruitful and multiply); the covenant God is keeping his Genesis 12 promise in the most hostile environment available
