Teaching Points Total Commitment to GodThe Israelites' insistence on taking all their livestock signifies a total commitment to God. In our lives, we should hold nothing back from God, offering all we have in service and worship. Faith in Uncertainty The statement "until we arrive there, we will not know what we need to worship the LORD" reflects faith in God's guidance. We are called to trust God even when the path is unclear, believing He will provide what is necessary. Worship as a Priority The primary reason for the Exodus was to worship God. This underscores the importance of worship in our lives, reminding us to prioritize our relationship with God above all else. God's Sovereignty and Provision The demand to take all livestock highlights God's sovereignty and provision. He knows what we need and will equip us for His purposes. Separation from the World The Exodus represents a physical and spiritual separation from Egypt. As believers, we are called to be in the world but not of it, living distinct lives that honor God.(26) Our cattle also shall go with us.--Once more Moses rejects the proffered compromise--rejects it absolutely and altogether. The cattle shall all go with the people; "not an hoof shall be left behind." And why? First, because it is theirs ("our cattle," "our flocks," "our herds"), and not Pharaoh's; secondly, because it is God's--all, to the last head, if He requires it; and He has not said as yet how much of it He will require. The festival to be held in the wilderness is altogether a new thing; its ritual has not at present been laid down. The people will only be told "with what they must serve the Lord" when they are come to the place where they are to serve Him: i.e., to Sinai (Exodus 3:12).
