    In Exodus chapter 1, what gave Pharaoh concern about the tribes of Israel?Uncle Al's Bible Trivia - Exodus #1

      They were more and mightier than the Egyptians. As the book of Exodus started, there was a distinct difference in how Joseph's family was viewed. The Pharaoh in Exodus 1 knew or remembered not the great things Joseph did to save Egypt from the great famine. In verse 1:9, Pharaoh said to his people, "Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we." Apparently, up to this time, the Israelites were not in bondage.

    Pharaoh had a change of heart about releasing the Israelites after the final plague, and chose to pursue them to enslave them again. How many chariots Pharaoh used in the pursuit of the Israelites in total is unknown. But Exodus 14:7 specified a certain amount of chosen chariots, most likely fitted for battle. How many chosen chariots were there?Uncle Al's Bible Trivia - Exodus #1

      600. In Exodus 14:7, the Bible recorded that 600 choice chariots were used, as well as others. The choice chariots were most likely strongly built to endure the rigors of battle. This verse suggests there were others, but perhaps they were used merely for transportation purposes.

    When Joshua led the Israelites into battle against the Amalekites, Moses oversaw the battle from a hilltop. When Moses' hands were raised, the Israelites prevailed, but when Moses lowered his arms, the enemy prevailed. To give Israel the victory, Aaron and what other Israelite helped Moses to keep his arms raised?Uncle Al's Bible Trivia - Exodus #1

      Hur. In Exodus 17:11-12, the writer said; "And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Am'a-lek prevailed. But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun."
