Where the songs go in Exodus

The 29 songs here set 8 of the 8 movements in Exodus to music: “A Cry Out of Egypt” (Exodus 1–4), “Bricks Without Straw” (Exodus 5–11), “The Night of the Lamb” (Exodus 12–15), “Bread in the Morning, Water from the Rock” (Exodus 16–18), “The Mountain That Could Not Be Touched” (Exodus 19–24), “A Tent for a God Who Travels” (Exodus 25–31), “A Golden Calf and a Glory That Stays” (Exodus 32–34) and “And the Glory Filled It” (Exodus 35–40).

A Cry Out of Egypt (Exodus 1–4). A new king who does not remember Joseph turns a family into a workforce, midwives defy him and are blessed for it, and a murderer hiding in the desert is stopped by a bush that burns and is not consumed.

The Mountain That Could Not Be Touched (Exodus 19–24). Israel camps before Sinai and God speaks ten words aloud to everyone at once.

And the Glory Filled It (Exodus 35–40). The people bring so much that Moses has to tell them to stop.
