I only read the section you referred to, but I think the idea that the Israelites receiving Egypt's gold on their way out could be seen as a sort of "reparations" for their slave labor is intriguing. Good on you for trying to 'orange-pill' your church family!

As for the Israelites getting a 'second chance,' in one sense that's true (Deuteronomy = 'second [giving of the] law')--but in a more important sense, the law was given to reveal their need for Christ (per Romans, Galatians, etc.), while pointing to him at the same time (per Hebrews). 🤙
