Lance Smith’s Exodus 3:22 podcast episode brilliantly unpacks how the Israelites’ “asking” for Egyptian wealth was justice—reparations for 400 years of slavery, not theft. With a casual vibe, he clarifies terms and context, showing God as judge, not looter, fulfilling Genesis 15:14. His knack for spotting what we miss shines, tying it to daily life. Great listen—next up, Pharaoh’s heart!
