Rescue and covenant
Exodus: out of Egypt, into covenant
The book that gives the Bible its pattern for rescue. Plagues, Passover, the sea, Sinai, the golden calf, and a tabernacle described twice. This path explains why the last third is not filler.
Built for the days between Sundays
You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
What you'll come away with
What this path is for
Not a reading streak. These are the things you should be able to do on your own once you have worked through it.
Understand Passover
What the blood on the doorposts meant, why Israel retold it every year, and how the Gospels use it at the last supper.
Read the Ten Commandments in context
They open with rescue, not with rules. You will be able to say why that order changes how the commands work.
Make sense of the tabernacle chapters
Twelve chapters of construction detail, and the point arrives in the last verse of the book. You will see the argument the repetition is making.
Trace exodus language later
Isaiah, the Gospels, and Revelation all reach for this book. You will start hearing the echoes without being told they are there.
How the tutor works
A tutor, not a search box
The same eight habits run through every path. They are what make this study rather than summary.
Questions first
Open a passage and Trinity asks what you noticed. Your reading comes first, then the explanation.
Greek and Hebrew, one tap away
Tap a word to see the Greek or Hebrew behind it. See what it can mean and where else it shows up.
Follow the thread
Pick one image, promise, or line. Follow it from Genesis through the prophets into the Gospels.
Context that clicks
Who wrote it, to whom, and why. Get the background the first readers already knew.
A plan that bends
Miss a week and nobody guilt-trips you. Your plan fits the time you actually have and picks up where you left off.
Bring your doubts
Ask the question you'd never ask out loud. Trinity takes it seriously, no judgment.
Pick up the thread
Every session ends with a short recap of what you read and what's worth coming back to.
Every side, fairly told
On baptism, the end times, and more, you get the main views and their best arguments. Disputed questions are labelled as disputed.
The path itself
What you'll study, in order
Each unit builds on the one before it. Lessons live inside Trinity; this is the shape of the ground you will cover.
Slavery and a call
Four hundred years, then a new king
Midwives who disobey
The burning bush and the divine name
Moses' objections
Pharaoh's first refusal
The plagues and Passover
What the plagues are aimed at
Hardening Pharaoh's heart, and the debate about it
The tenth plague
Passover instituted
Crossing the sea, and the song that follows
Wilderness
Bitter water and bread from heaven
Water from the rock
Amalek, and Moses' arms
Jethro's advice about delegation
Sinai
Arriving at the mountain
Ten words, in context
The covenant code in chapters 21 to 23
The covenant ratified in blood
Moses on the mountain for forty days
Calf and tabernacle
The golden calf
Moses intercedes
Show me your glory
Instructions and construction, and why both are written out
The glory fills the tent
I've led a small group for six years, and honestly I was mostly repeating Sunday's sermon. Trinity kept asking what the passage actually said before it would tell me anything. Our Thursday nights are better for it.
I was baptized in March and still couldn't find anything in the Bible. I asked what a psalm even is, which felt embarrassing to type. It showed me Psalm 13, a man complaining to God. I didn't know that was allowed.
I mostly use it for word study. When I'm stuck on a Greek term, it walks me through what it can mean without pretending the question is settled. It's told me "scholars disagree here" more than once, which I respect.
Forty years in church and I'd never finished the Bible. I'm in Numbers now. Not thrilling, but I'm still going. Most days I read it before the kettle's boiled.
I'm not sure I believe any of it yet. I came in wanting to argue, and I still do. It argues back properly. It names the best objection before I can, and it doesn't sulk when I won't concede.
I ask it what a fifteen-year-old would really ask about a chapter. It gives me the awkward questions, not the tidy ones. Twice now it's sent me off to study properly, which I suppose is the point.
I read on my phone during my eleven-minute break, and it never tries to make it an hour. Last week it caught that I'd misread who was speaking in Job. It was one of the friends, not God. Changed the whole chapter for me.
I work in two languages, so I'm fussy about words. I asked why one Hebrew word is lovingkindness in one place and steadfast love in another. I got a real answer about hesed, not a devotional paragraph.
I worried it would hand my people easy answers to hard chapters. It mostly doesn't. Someone asked it about hell, and it laid out what Christians have held and said plainly which parts are disputed. I can work with that.
I sit with dying people, so I don't have much patience for cheerfulness. I'd been avoiding the lament psalms. It walked me through Psalm 88, which ends in the dark and stays there, and it didn't rush to fix it.
I'd abandoned three reading plans before this one. I went quiet for a while, came back, and it just carried on. No lecture. I'm in Isaiah now.
Before you start
Questions people ask about this path
The evidence is debated and thinner than either side's confident version admits. Trinity shows you the main proposals for dating and the arguments against each, rather than pretending the question is closed.
The text says both that Pharaoh hardened his own heart and that God hardened it. Christians read the relationship between those differently, and the path presents the main views with the texts each leans on.
Christians have answered this in several ways for two thousand years. Trinity walks you through the main frameworks for reading Old Testament law and what each does with cases like servitude and restitution.
The path reads them, in fewer sessions and with a guide to what to look for. Skimming them and understanding the point is better than skipping them and wondering later why Hebrews cares so much.

The first unit is free, and you do not need to know anything going in. Trinity will ask what you noticed before it explains a thing.
