  Speaker 1: Exodus chapter two. Now, a man of the tribe of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Levi married a Levied woman, and she became pregnant and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: gave birth to a son. When she saw that he
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: was a fine child, she hid him for three months,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: But when she could hide him no longer, she got
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: His sister stood at a distance to see what would
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: happen to him. Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: river bank. She saw the basket among the reeds and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: sent her female slave to get it. She opened it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and saw the baby. He was crying. She felt sorry
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: for him. This is one of the Hebrew babies, she said.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Then his sister asked Pharaoh's daughter, shall I go and
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for you? Yes, go, she answered. So the girl went
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and got the baby's mother. Pharaoh's daughter said to her,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: take this baby and nurse him for me, and I
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: will pay you. So the woman took the baby and
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: nursed him. When the child grew older, she took him
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: him Moses, saying I drew him out of the water.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to where his own people were and watched them at
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: one of his own people. Looking this way and that,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: him in the sand. The next day he went out
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the wrong, why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew? The
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: man said, who made you ruler and judge over us?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Are you thinking of killing me as you killed the Egyptian.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Then Moses was afraid and thought what I did must
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: have become known. When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and went
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well. Now,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a priest of Midian had seven daughters, and they came
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to draw water and fill the troughs to water their
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: father's flock. Some shepherds came along and drove them away,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but Moses got up and came to their rescue and
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: watered their flock. When the girls returned to Ruel their father,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he asked them, why have you returned so early to day?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: They answered, an Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: even drew water for us and watered the flock. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: where is he? Rouel asked his daughters, why did you
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: leave him? Invite him to have something to eat. Moses
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: agreed to stay with the man who gave his daughter
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Zipporah to Moses in marriage. Zippora gave birth to a son,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: and Moses named him Gersham, saying, I have become a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: foreigner in a foreign land. During that long period, the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in their slavery
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: and cried out, and their cry for help because of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: their slavery went up to God. God heard their groaning,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: with Jacob. So God looked on the Israelites and was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: concerned about them. Exodus chapter three. Now Moses was tending
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the flock of Jethro, his father in law, the priest
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: of Midian, and he led the flock to the far
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the Mountain
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of God. There, the Angel of the Lord appeared to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: saw that though the bush was on fire, it did
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: not burn up. So Moses thought, I will go over
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and see this strange sight. Why the bush does not
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: burn up. When the Lord saw that he had gone
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: over to look, God called to him from within the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: bush Moses Moses, and Moses said here I am, do
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: not come any closer. God said, take off your sandals,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for the place where you are standing is holy ground.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Then he said, I am the God of your father,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: God of Jacob. At this Moses hid his face because
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: he was afraid to look at God. The Lord said,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and to bring them up out of that land into
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and honey, the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizites, Hevites,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: are oppressing them. So now go, I am sending you
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to Pharaoh to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: But Moses said to God, who am I that I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And God said, I will be with you, and this
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: will be the sign to you that it is I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: who have sent you. When you have brought the people
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: out of Egypt, will worship God on this mountain. Moses
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: said to God, Suppose I go to the Israelites and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: say to them, the God of your fathers has sent
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: me to you, and they ask me what is his name?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Then what shall I tell them? God said to Moses,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: I am who I am. This is what you are
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to say to the Israelites. I am has sent me
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: to you. God also said to Moses, say to the Israelites,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: sent me to you. This is my name forever, the
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: name you shall call me from generation to generation. Go
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: assemble the elders of Israel, and say to them, the Lord,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: and Jacob, appeared to me and said, I have watched
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: over you and have seen what has been done to
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you in Egypt. And I have promised to bring you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: up out of your misery in Egypt into the land
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizites, Hevites, and Jebusites, a
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: land flowing with milk and honey. The elders of Israel
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: will listen to you. Then you and the elders are
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to go to the King of Egypt and say to him,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Let us take a three day journey into the wilderness
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to offer sacrifices to the Lord, our God. But I
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: know that the King of Egypt will not let you
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: the wonders that I will perform among them. After that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: he will let you go, and I will make the
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you will not go empty handed. Every woman is to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: ask her neighbor and any woman living in her house
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing which
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you will put on your sons and daughters, And so
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: you will plunder the Egyptians. Exodus chapter four. Moses answered,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: what if they do not believe me or listen to
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: me and say the Lord did not appear to you.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to him, what is that in
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: your hand? A staff? He replied, The Lord said, throw
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it on the ground. Moses threw it on the ground,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and it became a snake, and he ran from it.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to him, reach out your hand
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: and take it by the tail. So Moses reached out
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and took hold of the snake, and it turned back
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: into a staff in his hand. This, said the Lord,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is so that they may believe that the Lord, the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Then the Lord said, put your hand inside your cloak.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So Moses put his hand into his cloak, and when
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he took it out, the skin was leprous. It had
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: become as white as snow. Now put it back into
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: your cloak, he said. So Moses put his hand back
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: into his cloak, and when he took it out, it
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was restored like the rest of his flesh. Then the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: Lord said, if they do not believe you or pay
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: attention to the first sign, they may believe the second.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: But if they do not believe these two signs or
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: listen to you, take some water from the nile and
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: pour it on the dry ground. The water you take
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: from the river will become blood on the ground. Moses
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: said to the Lord, pardon your servant. Lord, I have
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and tongue. The Lord said to him, who gave human
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: beings their mouths? Who makes them death or mute? Who
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: gives them sight or makes them blind?
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: Is it not I? The Lord?
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Now go, I will help you speak and will teach
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you what to say. But Moses said, pardon your servant, Lord,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Please send some one else. Then the Lord's anger burned
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: against Moses, and he said, what about your brother Aaron,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: already on his way to meet you, and he will
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: be glad to see you. You shall speak to him
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and put words in his mouth. I will help both
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: of you speak and will teach you what to do.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: He will speak to the people for you, and it
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: will be as if he were your mouth, and as
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: if you were God to him. But take this staff
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: in your hand so you can perform the signs with it.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Then Moses went back to Jethro, his father in law,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and said to him, let me return to my own
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: people in Egypt to see if any of them are
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: still alive. Jethro said, go, and I wish you well. Now,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, go back
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: are dead. So Moses took his wife and sons, put
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: them on a donkey, and started back to Egypt. And
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: he took the staff of God in his hand. The
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: Lord said to Moses, when you return to Egypt, see
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: given you the power to do. But I will harden
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: his heart so that he will not let the people go.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Then say to Pharaoh, this is what the Lord says,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Israel is my firstborn son. And I told you let
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: my son go so he may worship me, but you
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: refuse to let him go, so I will kill your
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: first born son. At a lodging place on the way,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: but Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: foreskin and touched Moses's feet with it. Surely, you are
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: a bridegroom of blood to me, she said, so the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Lord let him alone. At that time, she said, bridegroom
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: of blood, referring to circumcision. The Lord said to Aaron,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: go into the wilderness to meet Moses. So he met
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Moses at the Mountain of God and kissed him. Then
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Moses told Aaron everything the Lord had sent him to say,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: and also about all the signs he had commanded him
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: to perform. Moses and Aaron brought together all the elders
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: of the Israelites, and Erin told them everything the Lord
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: had said to Moses. He also performed the signs before
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the people, and they believed. And when they heard that
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: the Lord was concerned about them and had seen their misery,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: they bowed down and worshiped Exodus chapter eleven. Now the
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Lord had said to Moses, I will bring one more
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that he will
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: let you go from here, and when he does, he
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: will drive you out completely. Tell the people that men
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: of silver and gold. The Lord made the Egyptians favorably
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people. So
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Moses said, this is what the Lord says about midnight.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I will go throughout Egypt. Every first born son in
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Egypt will die, from the first born son of Pharaoh,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: who sits on the throne, to the first born son
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: of the female slave who is at her hand mill,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and all the first born of the cattle as well.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt, worse than there
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: has ever been or ever will be again. But among
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the Israelites not a dog will bark at any person
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: or animal. Then you will know that the Lord makes
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: a distinction between Egypt and Israel. All these of yours
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: will come to me, bowing down before me in saying
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: go you and all the people who follow you. After
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: that I will leave. Then Moses hot with anger left Pharaoh.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: The Lord had said to Moses, Pharaoh will refuse to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: listen to you, so that my wonders may be multiplied.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: In Egypt, Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: let the Israelites go out of his country. Exodus chapter twelve.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, this
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: month is to be for you the first month, the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: first month of your year. Tell the whole community of
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Israel that on the tenth day of this month, each
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: man is to take a lamb for his family, one
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: for each household. If any household is too small for
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbour.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Having taken into account the number of people there are,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you are to determine the amount of lamb needed in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: accordance with what each person will eat. The animals you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: choose must be year old males without defect, and you
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: may take them from the sheep or the goats take
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: care of them until the fourteenth day of the month.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: When all the members of the community of Israel must
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: of the blood and put it on the sides and
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: tops of the door frames of the houses where they
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: eat the lambs. That same night, they are to eat
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: and bread made without yeast. Do not eat the meat
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: fire with the head, legs, and internal organs. Do not
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: leave any of it till morning. If some is left
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: till morning, you must burn it. This is how you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: are to eat it, with your cloak tucked into your belt,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Eat it in haste. It is the Lord's pass over.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: On that same night, I will pass through Egypt and
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: strike down every first born of both people and animals,
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I am the Lord.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: The blood will be a sign for you on the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: houses where you are, and when I see the blood,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: you when I strike Egypt. This is a day you
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: are to commemorate for the generations to come. You shall
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: celebrate it as a festival to the Lord, a lasting ordinance.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: For seven days, you are to eat bread made without yeast.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: On the first day, remove the yeast from your houses,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: On the first day, hold a sacred assembly, and another
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: one on the seventh day. Do not work at all
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: on these days except to prepare food for everyone to eat.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: That is all you may do. Celebrate the festival of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: unleavened bread because it was on this very day that
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come. In
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: the first month, you are to eat bread made without
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: yeast from the evening of the fourteenth day until the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: evening of the twenty first day. For seven days, no
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: yeast is to be found in your houses, and anyone,
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: whether foreigner or native born, who eats anything with yeast
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: in it must be cut off from the community of Israel.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: eat unleavened bread. Then Moses summoned all the elders of
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Israel and said to them, go at once and select
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the animals for your families, and slaughter the passover lamb.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Take a bunch of hissop, dip it into the blood
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: in the basin, and put some of the blood on
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: the top and on both sides of the door frame.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: None of you shall go out of the door of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: your house until morning. When the Lord goes through the
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: lamb and to strike down the Egyptians, he will see
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: and will pass over that doorway, and he will not
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: your descendants when you enter the land that the Lord
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: will give you as he promised. Observe this ceremony. And
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: when your children ask you what does this ceremony mean
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to you, then tell them it is the passover sacrifice
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: to the Lord who passed over the houses of the
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: down the Egyptians. Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: The Israelites did just what the Lord commanded. Moses and
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Aaron at midnight, the Lord struck down all the first
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: born in Egypt, from the first born of Pharaoh who
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: sat on the throne, to the first born of the
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: prisoner who was in the dungeon, and the first born
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: of all the live stock as well. Pharaoh and all
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: not a house without some one dead. During the night,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, up, leave my people,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you and the Israelites. Go worship the Lord as you
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: have requested. Take your flocks and herds as you have said,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and go, and also bless me. The Egyptians urged the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: people to hurry and leave the country, for otherwise, they said,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: we will all die. So the people took their dough
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: before the yeast was added, and carried it on their
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: shoulders in kneading troughs, wrapped in clothing. The Israelites did
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: silver and gold and for clothing. The Lord had made
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: them what they asked for, so they plundered the Egyptians.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukoth. There were about
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Many other people went up with them, and also large
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. With the dough
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: been driven out of Egypt and did not have time
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to prepare food for themselves. Now, the length of time
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the Israelite people lived in Egypt was four hundred and
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: thirty years. At the end of the four hundred and
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: thirty years to the very day, all the Lord's divisions
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: left Egypt, because the Lord kept vigil that night to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: bring them out of Egypt. On this night, all the
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: the generations to come. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: these are the regulations for the Passover meal. No foreigner
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: may eat it. Any slave you have bought may eat
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: it after you have circumcised him. But a temporary resident
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: or a hired worker may not eat it. It must
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: be eaten inside the house. Take none of the meat outside.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Thou do not break any of the bones. The whole
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: community of Israel must celebrate it. A foreigner residing among
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: you who wants to celebrate the Lord's passover must have
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: all the males in his household circumcised. Then he may
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: male may eat it. The same law applies both to
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the native born and to the foreigner residing among you.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Moses and Aaron, And on that very day the Lord
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions Exodus
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: chapter fourteen. Then the Lord said to Moses, tell the
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: directly opposite baal Zephon. Pharaoh will think the Israelites are
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: wandering around the land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will pursue them.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: But I will gain glory for myself through Pharaoh and
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: all his army, and the Egyptians will know that I
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: am the Lord. So the Israelites did this. When the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: King of Egypt was told that the people had fled,
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: what have we done? We have let the Israelites go
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: and have lost their services. So he had his chariot
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: made ready and took his army with him. He took
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: six hundred of the best chariots, along with all the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: other chariots of Egypt, with officers over.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: All of them.
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh, King of Egypt,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: so that he pursued the Israelites who were marching out boldly.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: The Egyptians, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots, horsemen and troops
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: the sea near pi Hahiroth, opposite bal Zephon. As Pharaoh approached,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: the Israelites looked up and there were the Egyptians marching
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: after them. They were terrified and cried out to the Lord.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: They said, to Moses, was it because there were no
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to die. What have you done to us by bringing
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: us out of Egypt. Didn't we say to you in Egypt,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: leave us alone, let us serve the Egyptians. It would
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to die in the desert. Moses answered, the people, do
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: not be afraid. Stand firm, and you will see the
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: see today, you will never see again. The Lord will
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: fight for you. You need only to be still. Then,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the Lord said to Moses, why are you crying out
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: divide the water so that the Israelites can go through
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: the sea on dry ground. I will harden the hearts
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: through his chariot and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: that I am the Lord when I gain glory through Pharaoh,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: his chariots, and his horsemen. Then the Angel of God,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: who had been traveling in front of Israel's army, withdrew
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: and went behind them. The pillar of Cloud also moved
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: from in front and stood behind them, coming between the
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night, the cloud
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: brought darkness to the one side and light to the
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: other side, so neither went near the other all night long.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: all that night the Lord drove the sea back with
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: a strong east wind and turned it into dry land.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: their right and on their left. The Egyptians pursued them,
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: and all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and horsemen followed them
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: into the sea. During the last watch of the night,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: had difficulty driving, and the Egyptians said, let's get away
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: from the Israelites. The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Then the Lord said to Moses, stretch out your hand
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: over the sea, so that the waters may flow back
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen. Moses stretched
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: sea went back to its place. The Egyptians were fleeing
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: toward it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: into the sea. Not one of them survived, But the
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: wall of water on their right and on their left.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: That day, the Lord saved Israel from the hands of
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: the shore. And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: the Lord and put their trust in him and in
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: Moses his servant Exodus chapter fifteen. Then Moses and the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: Israelites sang this song to the Lord. I will sing
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: to the Lord, for he is highly exalted, both horse
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: and driver. He has hurled into the sea. The Lord
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: is my strength and my defense. He has become my salvation.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: He is my God, and I will praise him, my
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: father's God, and I will exalt him. The Lord is
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: a warrior. The Lord is his name. Pharaoh's chariots and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: his army he has hurled into the sea. The best
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: of Pharaoh's officers are drowned in the red sea. The
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: deep waters have covered them. They sank to the depths
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: like a stone. Your right hand, Lord, was majestic in power.
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Your right hand, Lord, shattered the enemy. In the greatness
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: of your majesty, you threw down those who opposed you.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: You unleashed your burning anger. It consumed them like stubborn
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: by the blast of your nostrils. The waters piled up,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: The surging waters stood up like a wall. The deep
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: waters congealed in the heart of the sea. The enemy boasted.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I will pursue, I will overtake them, I will divide
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: the spoils. I will gorge myself on them. I will
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: draw my sword and my hand will destroy them. But
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: you blue with your breath, and the sea covered them.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: They sank like lead in the mighty waters. Who among
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: the gods is like you? Lord, Who is like you,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders. You stretch
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: out your right hand, and the earth swallows your enemies.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: In your un failing love, you will lead the people
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: you have redeemed in your strength, you will guide them
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: to your holy dwelling. The nations will hear and tremble,
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: Anguish will grip the people of Felictia, The chiefs of
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Edom will be terrified, The leaders of Moab will be
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: seized with trembling. The people of Canaan will melt away.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Terror and dread will.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Fall on them.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: By the power of your arm, they will be as
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: still as a stone until your people pass by, Lord,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: until the people you bought pass by, you will bring
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: them in and plant them on the mountain of your inheritance,
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: the place Lord, you made for your dwelling, the sanctuary. Lord,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: your hands is stabbed. The Lord reigns forever and ever.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: When Pharaoh's horses, chariots and horsemen went into the sea,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: the Lord brought the waters of the sea back over them,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Then Miriam, the prophet, Aaron's sister, took a timbrel in
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: her hand, and all the women followed her with timbrels
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: and dancing. Miriam sang to them, sing to the Lord,
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: for he is highly exalted, both horse and driver. He
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: has hurled into the sea. Then Moses led Israel from
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: the Red Sea, and they went into the desert of Shur.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: For three days. They traveled in the desert without finding water.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: When they came to Marah, they could not drink its
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: water because it was bitter. That is why the place
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: is called Mara. So the people grumbled against Moses, saying
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: what are we to drink? Then Moses cried out to
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood.
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: He threw it into the water, and the water became
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: fit to drink. There the Lord issued a ruling and
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: instruction for them and put them to the test. He said,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: if you listen carefully to the Lord, your God, and
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: do what is right in his eyes, if you pay
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: will not bring on you any of the diseases I
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord who
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: heals you. Then they came to Alim, where there were
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: near the water. Exodus chapter nineteen. On the first day
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: of the third month, after the Israelites left Egypt. On
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: that very day they came to the desert of Sinai.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: After they set out from Reffordim, they entered the desert
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of Sinai, and Israel camped there in the desert in
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: front of the mountain. Then Moses went up to God,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: this is what you are to say to the descendants
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: of Jacob, and what you are to tell the people
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: of Israel. You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and how I carried you on eagle's wings and brought
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: you to myself. Now, if you obey me fully and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: keep my covenant, then out of all nations, you will
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: be my treasured possession, although the whole earth is mine.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: You will be for me a kingdom of priests and
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: a holy nation. These are the words you are to
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: speak to the Israelites. So Moses went back and summoned
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: the elders of the people and set before them all
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: the words the Lord had commanded him to speak. The
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: people all responded together, we will do everything the Lord
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: has said. So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: The Lord said to Moses, I am going to come
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: to you in a dense cloud, so that the people
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: will hear me speaking with you and will always put
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: their trust in you. Then Moses told the Lord what
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the people had said, and the Lord said, to Moses,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: go to the people and consecrate them to day and
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: to morrow. Have them wash their clothes and be ready
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: by the third day, because on that day the Lord
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: all the people. Put limits for the people around the mountain,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: and tell them be careful that you do not approach
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: the mountain or touch the foot of it. Whoever touches
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the mountain is to be put to death. They are
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: to be stoned or shot with arrows. Not a hand
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: is to be laid on them. No person or animal
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: shall be permitted to live. Only when the rams horn
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: sounds a long blast, may they approach the mountain. After
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: consecrated them, and they washed their clothes. Then he said
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to the people, prepare yourselves for the third day, abstain
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: from sexual relations. On the morning of the third day,
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: the camp trembled. Then Moses led the people out of
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: the camp to meet with God, and they stood at
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: the foot of the mountain. Mount Sinai was covered with
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: smoke because the Lord descended on it in fire. The
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: and the whole mountain trembled violently as the sound of
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the trumpet grew louder and louder. Moses spoke, and the
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: voice of God answered him. The Lord descended to the
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: of the mountain. So Moses went up, and the Lord
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: said to him, go down and warn the people so
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: they do not force their way through to see the Lord,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: and many of them perish. Even the priests who approached
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the Lord must consecrate themselves or the Lord will break
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: out against them. Moses said to the Lord, the people
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: cannot come up Mount Sinai because you yourself warned us.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: The Lord replied, go down and bring aaron.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Up with you.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: But the priests and the people must not force their
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: way through to come up to the Lord, or he
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: will break out against them. So Moses went down to
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: the people and told them Exodus chapter twenty, and God
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: spoke all these words. I am the Lord your God,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: You shall not make for yourself an image in the
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: form of anything in heaven above, or on the earth beneath,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: or in the waters below. You shall not bow down
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: to them or worship them. For I, the Lord your God,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: am a jealous god, punishing the children for the sin
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: of the parents to the third and fourth generation of
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: generations of those who love me. And keep my commandments.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God,
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: for the Lord will not hold any one guiltless who
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: misuses his name. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: Six days you shall labor and do all your work.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: your God. On it you shall not do any work,
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: neither you nor your son or daughter, nor your male
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: in your towns. For in six days the Lord made
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: is in them. But he rested on the seventh day. Therefore,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: honor your father and your mother, so that you may
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: live long in the land the Lord, your God is
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: giving you. You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: against your neighbor. You shall not covet your neighbor's house.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: belongs to your neighbor. When the people saw the thunder
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: and lightning, and heard the trumpet, and saw the mountain
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: distance and said to Moses, speak to us yourself, and
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: we will listen. But do not have God speak to us,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: or we will die. Moses said to the people, do
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: not be afraid. God has come to test you, so
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: that the fear of God will be with you to
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: keep you from sinning. The people remained at a distance,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was. Then
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: the Lord said to Moses, tell the Israelites this you
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: from heaven. Do not make any gods to be alongside me.
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: of gold. Make an old reverth for me, and sacrifice
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: and goats, and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: to be honored, I will come to you and bless you.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: If you make an altar of stones for me, do
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: it if you use a tool on it. And do
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: not go up to my altar on steps, or your
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: private parts may be exposed. Exodus chapter thirty two. When
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: the people saw that Moses was so long in coming
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: come make us gods who will go before us. As
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: for this fellow Moses, who brought us up out of Egypt,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: we don't know what has happened to him. Eron answered them,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: So all the people took off their earrings and brought
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: them to Aaron. He took what they handed him and
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: made it into an idle cast in the shape of
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: these are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: of Egypt. When Aaron saw this, he built an altar
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: in front of the calf and announced to morrow there
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: will be a festival to the Lord. So the next
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: presented fellowship offerings. Afterward, they sat down to eat and drink,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: and got up to indulge in revelry. Then the Lord
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: said to Moses, go down, because your people, whom you
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. They have
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: been quick to turn away from what I commanded them,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: and have made themselves an idole caste in the shape
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: of a calf. They have bowed down to it and
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: sacrificed to it, and have said, these are your gods, Israel,
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: who brought you up out of Egypt. I have seen
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: these people, the Lord said to Moses and they are
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: a stiff necked people. Now leave me alone, so that
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: my anger may burn against them, and that I may
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: destroy them. Then I will make you into a great nation.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: But Moses sought the favor of the Lord, his god.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: He said, why should your anger burn against your people,
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: a mighty hand. Why should the Egyptians say it was
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: with evil intent that he brought them out to kill
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: them in the mountains and to wipe them off the
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: face of the earth. Turn from your fierce anger, relent,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants, Abraham,
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: in the sky. And I will give your descendants all
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: this land, I promised them, and it will be their
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: inheritance forever. Then the Lord relented and did not bring
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: on his people the disaster he had threatened. Moses turned
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: and went down the mountain with the two tablets of
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: the Cover and Law in his hands. They were inscribed
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: on both sides, front and back. The tablets were the
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: work of God. The writing was the writing of God
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: engraved on the tablets. When Joshua heard the noise of
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: the people shouting, he said to Moses, there is the
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: sound of war in the camp. Moses replied, it is
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: not the sound of victory. It is not the sound
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: of defeat. It is the sound of singing that I hear.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: the dancing, his anger burned, and he threw the tablets
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: out of his hands, breaking them to pieces. At the
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: foot of the mountain, and he took the calf the
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: people had made and burned it in the fire. Then
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: he grounded to powder, scattered it on the water, made
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: the Israelites drink it. He said to Aaron, what did
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: these people do to you that you led them into
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: such great sin? Do not be angry, my lord, Aaron answered,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: you know how prone these people are to evil. They
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: said to me, make us gods who will go before us.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: As for this fellow Moses, who brought us up out
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: of Egypt, we don't know what has happened to him.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: So I told them, whoever has any gold jewelry, take
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: it off. Then they gave me the gold, and I
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: Moses saw that the people were running wild and that
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: Aaron had let them get out of control and so
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: become a laughing stock to their enemies. So he stood
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: at the entrance to the camp and said, whoever is
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: for the Lord, come to me, and all the Levites
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: rallied to him. Then he said to them, this is
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: what the Lord, the God of Israel, says. Each man,
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: strap a sword to his side, go back and forth
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: through the camp from one end to the other, each
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: killing his brother and friend and neighbor. The Levites did
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: the people died. Then Moses said, you have been set
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: apart to the Lord to day, for you were against
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: your own sons and brothers, and He has blessed you
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: this day. The next day Moses said to the people,
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: you have committed a great sin. But now I will
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: go up to the Lord. Perhaps I can make atonement
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: for your sin. So Moses went back to the Lord
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: and said, oh, what a great sin these people have committed.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: They have made themselves gods of gold. But now please
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: forgive their sin. But if not, then blot me out
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: of the book you have written, The Lord replied to Moses,
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: whoever has sinned against me, I will blot out of
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: my book. Now go lead the people to the place
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: when the time comes for me to punish, I will
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: punish them for their sin. And the Lord struck the
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: people with a plague because of what they did with
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: the calf Aaron had made Exodus chapter thirty three. Then
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: the Lord said to Moses, leave this place, you and
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: the people you brought up out of Egypt, and go
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: up to the land I promised on oath to Abraham,
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: Isaac and Jacob, saying I will give it to your descendants.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: I will send an angel before you and drive out
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizites, Hivites, and Jebusites. Go up
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: to the land flowing with milk and honey. But I
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: will not go with you, because you are a stiff
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: necked people, and I might destroy you on the way.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: When the people heard these distressing words, they began to mourn,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: and no one put on any ornaments. For the Lord
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: had said to Moses, tell the israel Lights, you are
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: a stiff necked people. If I were to go with
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: you even for a moment, I might destroy you. Now
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: take off your ornaments and I will decide what to
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: do with you. So the Israelites stripped off their ornaments
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: at Mount Horeb. Now Moses used to take a tent
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: and pitch it outside the camp some distance away, calling
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: it the tent of meeting. Anyone inquiring of the Lord
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: would go to the tent of meeting outside the camp,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: and whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: people rose and stood at the entrances to their tents,
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: watching Moses until he entered the tent. As Moses went
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: into the tent, the pillar of Cloud would come down
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: and stay at the entrance while the Lord spoke with Moses.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: Whenever the people saw the pillar of Cloud stay at
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: the entrance to the tent, they all stood and worshiped
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: each at the entrance to their tent. The Lord would
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: his young aide, Joshua, son of None, did not leave
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: the tent. Moses said to the Lord, you have been
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: telling me lead these people but you have not let
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: me know whom you will send with me. You have said,
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: I know you by name, and you have found favor
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: with me. If you are pleased with me, teach me
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: your ways so I may know you and continue to
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: The Lord replied, my presence will go with you, and
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: I will give you rest. Then Moses said to him,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: if your presence does not go with us, do not
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: send us up from here. How will any one know
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: that you are pleased with me and with your people
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: unless you go with us. What else will distinguish me
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: and your people from all the other people on the
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: face of the earth. And the Lord said to Moses,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I will do the very thing you have asked, because
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: I am pleased with you and I know you by name.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: Then Moses said, now show me your glory. And the
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Lord said, I will cause all my goodness to pass
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: in front of you, and I will proclaim my name
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: the Lord in your presence. I will have mercy on
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: on whom I will have compassion. But he said, you
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: cannot see my face, for no one may see me
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: and live. Then, the Lord said, there is a place
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: near me where you may stand on a rock. When
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: my glory passes by, I will put you in a
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: until I have passed by. Then I will remove my
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: hand and you will see my back, but my face
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: must not be seen. Exodus chapter thirty four. The Lord
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: said to Moses, chise allowed two stone tablets like the
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: first ones, and I will write on them the words
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: that were on the first tablets which you broke. Be
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: ready in the morning, and then come up on Mount
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: Sinai present yourself to me there on top of the mountain.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: No one is to come with you or be seen
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: anywhere on the mountain, not even the flocks and herds
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: made grays in front of the mountain. So Moses chiseled
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: out two stone tablets like the first ones, and went
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: up Mount Sinai early in the morning, as the Lord
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: had commanded him, and he carried the two stone tablets
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: in his hands. Then the Lord came down in the
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: the Lord. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord, the Lord. The compassionate and gracious God, slow
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands,
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: and forgiving wickedness, rebellion, and sin. Yet he does not
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: leave the guilty unpunished. He punishes the children and their
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: children for the sin of the parent to the third
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: and fourth generation. Moses bowed to the ground at once
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: and worshiped Lord. He said, if I have found favor
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: in your eyes, then let the Lord go with us.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Although this is a stiff necked people, forgive our wickedness
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: and our sin, and take us as your inheritance. Then
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: the Lord said, I am making a covenant with you
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: before all your people. I will do wonders never before
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: done in any nation in all the world. The people
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: you live among will see how awesome is the work
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: that I, the Lord will do for you. Obey what
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: I command you today. I will drive out before you
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizites, Hivites, and Jebusites. Be careful
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: not to make a treaty with those who live in
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: the land where you are going, or they will be
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: a snare among you. Break down their altars, smash their
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: sacred stones, and cut down their asherer poles. Do not
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: worship any other god, for the Lord whose name is
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: jealous is a jealous god. Be careful not to make
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: a treaty with those who live in the land, for
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them,
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: And when you choose some of their daughters as wives
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: for your sons, and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: they will lead your sons to do the same. Do
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: not make any idols. Celebrate the festival of unleavened bread.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: For seven days, eat bread made without yeast, as I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: commanded you do this at the appointed time in the
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: month of a Eve, for in that month you came
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: out of Egypt. The first offspring of every womb belongs
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: to me, including all the first born males of your livestock,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: whether from herd or flock. Redeem the firstborn donkey with
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: a lamb, But if you do not redeem it, break
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: its neck. Redeem all your firstborn sons. No one is
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: to appear before me empty handed. Six days you shall labour,
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: but on the seventh day you shall rest even during
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: the plowing season and harvest.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: You must rest.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Celebrate the festival of Weeks with the first fruits of
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: the wheat harvest, and the festival of in gathering at
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: the turn of the year. Three times a year, all
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: your men are to appear before the Sovereign Lord, the
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: God of Israel. I will drive out nations before you
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: When you go up three times each year to appear
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: before the Lord your God, do not offer the blood
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 1: and do not let any of the sacrifice from the
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Passover festival remain until morning. Bring the best of the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: first fruits of your soil to the house of the
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Lord your God. Do not cook a young goat in
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: its mother's milk. Then the Lord said to Moses, write
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: down these words, for in accordance with these words, I
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: have made a covenant with you and with Israel. Moses
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: was there with the Lord forty days and forty knights,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: without eating bread or drinking water, and he wrote on
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: tablets of the Covenant Law in his hands. He was
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: not aware that his face was radiant because he had
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: spoken with the Lord. When Aaron and all the Israelites
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: to come near him. But Moses called to them, so
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: Aaron and all the leaders of the community came back
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: to him, and he spoke to them. Afterward, all the
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Israelites came near him, and he gave them all the
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: commands the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai. When
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: Moses finished speaking to them, he put a veil over
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: his face, but whenever he entered the Lord's presence to
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: speak with him, he removed the veil until he came out.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: And when he came out and told the Israelites what
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: he had been commanded, they saw that his face was radiant.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: Then Moses would put the veil back over his face
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: until he went in to speak with the Lord. Numbers,
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: chapter twelve. Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Kushite.
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: As the Lord spoken only through Moses, they asked, hasn't
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: he also spoken through us, and the Lord heard this. Now,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: else on the face of the earth. At once the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: lord's he said to Moses, Aaron and Miriam, come out
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: to the tent of meeting, all three of you. So
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: the three of them went out. Then the Lord came
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: down in a pillar of cloud. He stood at the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: entrance to the tent and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: the two of them stepped forward, he said, listen to
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: my words. When there is a prophet among you, I
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: the Lord reveal myself to them in visions. I speak
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: to them in dreams. But this is not true of
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: With him.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: I speak face to face clearly, and not in riddles.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: He sees the form of the Lord. Why then, were
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: you not afraid to speak against my servance and Moses.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: The anger of the Lord burned against them, and he
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: left them. When the cloud lifted from above the tent,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Miriam's skin was leprous. It became as white as snow.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: Aaron turned toward her and saw that she had a
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: defiling skin disease, and he said to Moses, Please, my Lord,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: I ask you not to hold against us the sin
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: we have so foolishly committed. Do not let her be
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: like a stillborn infant coming from its mother's womb, with
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: its flesh half eaten away. So Moses cried out to
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord, Please, God, heal her. The Lord replied to Moses,
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: if her father had spit in her face, would she
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: not have been in disgrace for seven days? Confine her
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: outside the camp for seven days. After that she can
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: be brought back. So Miriam was confined outside the camp
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: for seven days, and the people did not move on
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: till she was brought back. After that, the people left
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: Hazaruth and encamped in the desert of Paran Numbers, Chapter twenty.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: In the first month, the whole Israelite community arrived at
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: the desert of Zin and they stayed at Kaidsh. There,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Miriam died and was buried. Now there was no water
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Moses and Aaron. They quarreled with Moses and said, if
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: only we had died when our brothers fell dead before
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: the Lord, why did you bring the Lord's community into
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: this wilderness that we and our live stock should die here.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 1: this terrible place. It has no grain or figs, grape
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: vines or pomegranates, and there is no water to drink.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: to the tent of meeting and fell face down, and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: the glory of the Lord.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: Appeared to them.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: The Lord said to Moses, take the staff, and you
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: and your brother Aaron, gather the assembly together. Speak to
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: that rock before their eyes, and it will pour out
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: its water. You will bring water out of the rock
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: for the community so they and their live stock can drink.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: So Moses took the staff from the Lord's presence, just
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: as he commanded him. He and Aaron gathered the assembly
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: together in front of the rock, and Moses said to them, listen,
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: their live stock drank. But the Lord said to Moses
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 1: and Aaron, because you did not trust in me enough
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites,
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: you will not bring this community into the land I
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: give them. These were the waters of Meribah, where the
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Israelites quarreled with the Lord, and where he was proved
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: wholly among them. Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: King of Edom, saying, this is what your brother Israel says.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: You know about all the hardships that have come on us.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Our ancestors went down into Egypt, and we lived there
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: many years. The Egyptians miss treated us and our ancestors,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: But when we cried out to the Lord, he heard
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: our cry and sent an angel and brought us out
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: of Egypt. Now we are here at Kadesh, a town
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: on the edge of your territory. Please let us pass
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: through your country. We will not go through any field
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: or vineyard, or drink water from any well. We will
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: travel along the King's highway and not turn to the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: right or to the left until we have passed through
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: your territory. But dam answered, you may not pass through here.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: If you try, we will march out and attack you
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 1: with the sword. The Israelites replied, we will go along
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: the main road, and if we or our live stock
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: drink any of your water, we will pay for it.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: We only want to pass through on foot nothing else. Again,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: they answered, you may not pass through. Then Edom came
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: out against them with a large and powerful army. Since
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Edom refused to let them go through their territory, Israel
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: turned away from them. The whole Israelite community set out
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: from Kadesh and came to Mount Haw. At Mount Har,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: near the border of Edom, the Lord said to Moses
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: and Aaron, Aaron will be gathered to his people. He
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: will not enter the land I give the Israelites because
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: both of you rebelled against my command at the waters
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: of Meribah. Get Aaron and his son Eliezar, and take
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: them up Mount Hor. Remove Aaron's garments and put them
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: on his son Eliezar. For Aaron will be gathered to
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: his people. He will die there. Moses did as the
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: Lord commanded. They went up Mount Hor in the sight
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: of the whole community. Moses removed Erin's garments and put
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: them on his son Eliezar, and Aaron died there on
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eliezar came down
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: from the mountain, and when the whole community learned that
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: Aaron had died, all the Israelites mourned for him. Thirty
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 1: days Numbers, chapter twenty one. When the Canaanite king of Arad,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: along the road to Atharim, he attacked the Israelites and
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: captured some of them. Then Israel made this vow to
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: the Lord, if you will deliver these people into our hands,
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: we will totally destroy their cities. The Lord listened to
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: Israel's plea and gave the Canaanites over to them. They
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: completely destroyed them and their towns, so the place was
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: named Hormah. They traveled from Mount Hor along the route
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 1: to the Red Sea to go around Edom, but the
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: people grew impatient on the way. They spoke against God
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: and against Moses and said, why have you brought us
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness. There
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 1: is no bread, there is no water, and we detest
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: this miserable food. Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: They bit the people, and many Israelites died. The people
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: came to Moses and said, we sinned when we spoke
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: will take the snakes away from us. So Moses prayed
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: for the people. The Lord said to Moses, make snake
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: and put it up on a pole. Anyone who is
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: bitten can look at it and live. So Moses made
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: a bronze snake and put it up on a pole.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: at the bronze snake, they lived. The Israelites moved on
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: and camped at Oboth. Then they set out from Oboth
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: and camped in Aye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Moab toward the sunrise. From there they moved on and
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: camped in the Zed Valley. They set out from there
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: and camped alongside the Arnon, which is in the wilderness
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: extending into Amorite territory. The Arnon is the border of
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: Moab between Moab and the Amorites. That is why the
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Book of the Wars of the Lord says, Zahab in
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: Sufar and the ravines the Arnun and the slopes of
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: the ravines that lead to the settlement of ah and
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: lie along the border of Moab. From there they continued
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: on to Beer the well, where the Lord said to Moses,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: gather the people together, and I will give them water.
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: Then Israel sang this song spring up oh Well, sing
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: about it, about the well that the princes dug that
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: the nobles of the people sank the nobles with scepters
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: and staffs. Then they went from the wilderness to Matana,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: from Mattanah to Nehalel, from Nahalio to Bamoth, and from
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: Bamoth to the valley in Moab, where the top of
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: Pisga overlooks the wasteland. Israel sent messengers to say to Sihon,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: king of the Amorites, let us pass through your country.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: We will not turn aside into any field or vineyard,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: or drink water from any well. We will travel along
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 1: the King's highway until we have passed through your territory.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: But Sihon would not let Israel pass through his territory.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: He mustered his entire army and marched out into the
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: wilderness against Israel. When he reached Jahaz, he fought with Israel. Israel, however,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: put him to the sword and took over his land
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: from the Arnon to the Jabbok, but only as far
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: as the Ammonites, because their border was fortified. Israel captured
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: all the cities of the Amorites and occupied them, including
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: Heshbon and all its surrounding settlements. Heshbon was the city
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: the former king of Moab and had taken from him
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: all his land as far as the Arnon. That is
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: why the poets say, come to Heshbon and let it
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: be rebuilt. Let Sihon's city be restored. Fire went out
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: from Heshbon ablaze. From the city of Sihon. It consumed
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: Ah of Moab. The citizens of Arnon's heights. Woe to you, Moab,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: you are destroyed. People of Quimosh. He has given up
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: his sons as fugitives and his daughters as captives to Sihon,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: king of the Amorites. But we have overthrown them. Heshbon's
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: dominion has been destroyed all the way to Daibon. We
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: have demolished them as far as Nofhah, which extends to Medebah.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: So Israel's settled in the land of the Amorites. After
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: Moses had sent spies to Jaesa, the Israelites captured its
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: surrounding settlements and drove out the Amorites who were there.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: Then they turned and went up along the road toward Bashan,
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: and Og king of Bashan, and his whole army marched
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: out to meet them in battle at EDRII. The Lord
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: said to Moses, do not be afraid of him, for
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: I have delivered him into your hands, along with his
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 1: whole army and his land. Do to him what you
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: So they struck him down, together with his sons and
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: his whole army, leaving them no survivors, and they took
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: possession of his land. Deuteronomy, chapter six. These are the commands, decrees,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 1: and laws. The Lord your God directed me to teach
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: you to observe in the land that you are crossing
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: their children after them, may fear the Lord your God
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: as long as you live, by keeping all his decrees
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: and commands that I give you, and so that you
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 1: may enjoy long life here Israel, and be careful to obey,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: so that it may go well with you, and that
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: you may increase greatly in a land flowing with milk
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 1: and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: ancestors promised you here o Israel, the Lord our God,
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 1: The Lord is one. Love the Lord your God, with
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: all your heart and with all your soul, and with
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: all your strength. These commands that I give you to
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: day are to be on your hearts. Impress them on
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: your children. Talk about them when you sit at home,
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: and when you walk along the road, when you lie down,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 1: your hands, and bind them on your foreheads, right them
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: on the door frames of your houses and on your gates.
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: When the Lord your God brings you into the land
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: to give you a land with large, flourishing cities. You
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: did not build houses filled with all kinds of good things.
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: You did not provide wells you did not dig, And
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: vineyards and olive groves you did not plant. Then, when
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: not forget the Lord who brought you out of Egypt,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: out of the land of slavery. Fear the Lord your God,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: Serve him only, and take your oaths in his name.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 1: Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: around you. For the Lord your God who is among
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: you is a jealous god, and his anger will burn
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: against you, and he will destroy you from the face
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: of the land. Do not put the Lord your God
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 1: to the test as you did at Massa. Be sure
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: to keep the commands of the Lord your God and
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: the stipulations and decrees he has given you. Do what
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: is right and good in the Lord's sight, so that
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: it may go well with you, and you may go
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: in and take over the good land the Lord promised
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: on oath to your ancestors, thrusting out all your enemies
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: before you. As the Lord said, in the future, when
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: your son asks you, what is the meaning of the stipulations,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: decrees and laws the Lord, our God has commanded you,
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: tell him. We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt. But
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 1: the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: hand before our eyes. The Lord sent signs and wonders
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: great and terrible on Egypt and Pharaoh and his whole household,
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: But he brought us out from there to bring us
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: in and give us the land he promised on oath
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: to our ancestors. The Lord commanded us to obey all
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: these decrees and to fear the Lord, our God, so
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: is the case to day. And if we are careful
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: to obey all this law before the Lord our God,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: as he has commanded us, that will be our righteousness. Deuteronomy,
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: chapter eighteen. The levitical priests, indeed, the whole tribe of Levi,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: are to have no allotment or inheritance with Israel. They
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: shall live on the food offerings presented to the Lord,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: for that is their inheritance. They shall have no inheritance
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: among their fellow Israelites. The Lord is their inheritance, as
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 1: he promised them. This is the share due the priests
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: from the people who sacrifice a bull or a sheep
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: the shoulder, the internal organs, and the meat from the head.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: You are to give them the first fruits of your grain,
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: the shearing of your sheep. For the Lord, your God,
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: has chosen them and their descendants out of all your tribes,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 1: to stand and minister in the Lord's name.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Always.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: If a Levite moves from one of your towns anywhere
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: in Israel where he is living, and comes in all earnestness,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: to the place the Lord will choose, he may minister
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: in the name of the Lord his God. Like all
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: his fellow Levites who serve there in the presence of
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: the Lord, he is to share equally in their benefits,
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: even though he has received money from the sale of
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: family possessions. When you enter the land the Lord your
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 1: the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: in witchcraft or caste spells, or who is a medium
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: or spiritist, or who consults the dead. Any One who
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 1: does these things is detestable to the Lord. Because of
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: these same detestable practices, the Lord your God will drive
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: out those nations before you. You must be blameless before
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: the Lord your God. The nations you will dispossess. Listen
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: to those who practice sorcery or divination. But as for you,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: the Lord your God has not permitted you to do so.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: The Lord your God will raise up for you a
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 1: prophet like me from among you, from your fellow Israelites.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: You must listen to him. For this is what you
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 1: asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: day of the assembly, when you said, let us not
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 1: hear the voice of the Lord, our God, nor see
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 1: this great fire any more, or we will die. The
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: Lord said to me what they say is good. I
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: will up for them a prophet like you from among
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: I myself will call to account anyone who does not
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: in the name of other gods, is to be put
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: to death. You may say to yourselves, how can we
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 1: If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: Lord does not take place or come true, that is
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: spoken presumptuously. So do not be alarmed. Deuteronomy chapter thirty two. Listen, you, heavens,
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: and I will speak here you earth the words of
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: my mouth. Let my teaching fall like rain, and my
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: abundant rain on tender plants. I will proclaim the name
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: of the Lord, Oh, praise the greatness of our God.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: He is the Rock.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: His works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 1: is he. They are corrupt and not his children. To
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 1: their shame, they are a warped and crooked generation. Is
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: this the way you repay the Lord, you fool and
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: unwise people. Is he not your father, your creator, who
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 1: made you and formed you? Remember the days of old,
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: consider the generations long past. Ask your father, and he will.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: Tell you your.
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 1: Elders, and they will explain to you. When the Most
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 1: High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind,
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 1: he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: number of the sons of Israel. For the Lord's portion
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: is his people. Jacob his allotted inheritance in a desert land.
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: He found him in a barren and howling waste. He
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: shielded him and cared for him. He guarded him as
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: up its nest and hovers over it its young that
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: spreads its wings to catch them, and carries them aloft.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 1: The Lord alone led him. No foreign god was with him.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 1: He made him ride on the heights of the land
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: and fed him with the fruit of the fields. He
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: nourished him with honey from the rock, and with oil
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: from the flinty crag, with curds and milk from herd
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 1: and flock, and with fattened lambs and goats, with choice
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: rams of bashan and the finest kernels of wheat. You
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: drank the foaming blood of the grape Jesheron, grew fat
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: and kicked. Filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: They abandoned the god who made them and rejected the
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: Rock their savior. They made him jealous with their foreign
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: gods and angered him with their detestable idols. They sacrificed
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 1: to false gods, which are not god gods. They had
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 1: not known gods that recently appeared gods. Your ancestors did
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: not fear. You deserted the roc who fathered you. You
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 1: forgot the god who gave you birth. The Lord saw
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: this and rejected them, because he was angered by his
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: sons and daughters. I will hide my face from them,
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 1: he said, and see what their end will be. For
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful. They
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: made me jealous by what is no God, and angered
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: by those who are not a people. I will make
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: them angry by a nation that has no understanding. For
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: a fire will be kindled by my wrath, one that
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: burns down to the realm of the dead below. It
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: will devour the earth and its harvests, and set afire
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: the foundations of the mountains. I will heap calamities on them,
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: and spend my arrows against them. I will send wasting
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 1: famine against them, consuming pestilence and deadly plague. I will
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 1: send against them the fangs of wild beasts, the venom
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 1: of vipers that glide in the dust in the street.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: The sword will make them childless in their homes. Terror
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 1: will reign the young men and young women, will perish
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: the infants and those with gray hair. I said, I
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: would scatter them and erase their name from human memory.
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: But I dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest the
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: adversary misunderstand and say our hand has triumphed. The Lord
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: has not done all this. They are a nation without sense.
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: There is no discernment in them. If only they were
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 1: wise and would understand this and discern what their end
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 1: will be. How could one man chase a thousand or
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 1: two put ten thousand to flight unless their roc had
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 1: sold them, unless the Lord had given them up. For
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: their rock is not like our rock, as even our
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: enemies concede. Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are filled
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: with poison, and their clusters with bitterness. Their wine is
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras. Have
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: I not kept this in reserve and sealed it in
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 1: my vaults? It is mine to avenge. I will repay
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: in due time. Their foot will slip, their day of
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: disaster is near, and their doom rushes upon them. The
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: Lord will vindicate his people and relent concerning his servants.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 1: When he sees their strength is gone and no one
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: is left slave or free, he will say, now, where
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: are their gods? The rock they took refuge in the
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: the wine of their drink offerings. Let them rise up
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 1: to help you, Let them give you shelter. See now
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 1: that I myself am he, there is no god besides me.
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: I put to death, and I bring to life. I
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 1: have wounded, and I will heal. No one can deliver
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 1: out of my hand. I lift my hand to heaven
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 1: and solemnly swear as surely as I live forever. When
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 1: repay those who hate me. I will make my arrows
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 1: drunk with blood, while my sword devours flesh, the blood
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: of the slain and the captives, the heads of the
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: enemy leaders. Rejoice, you, nations with his people, for he
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: will avenge the blood of his servants. He will take
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 1: and people. Moses came with Joshua, son of Nun, and
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 1: spoke all the words of this song in the hearing
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: of the people. When Moses finished reciting all these words
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: to all Israel, he said to them, take to heart
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 1: all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day,
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: so that you may command your children to obey carefully
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 1: all the words of this law. They are not just
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 1: idle words for you, They are your life. By them,
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: you will live long in the land you are crossing
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 1: the Jordan to possess. On that same day, the Lord
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 1: told Moses, go up into the Abaim range to Mount
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 1: Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho and few Canaan the
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 1: land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: There on the mountain that you have climbed, you will
• 1:36:49
  Speaker 1: die and be gathered to your people, just as your
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 1: brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 1: his people. This is because both of you broke faith
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 1: with me in the presence of the Israelites at the
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 1: waters of Meriba Kadesh in the desert of Zin, and
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 1: because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: Therefore you will see the land only from a distance.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 1: You will not enter the land I am giving to
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: the people of Israel. Deuteronomy chapter thirty four. Then Moses
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: climbed Mount Nebo from the plains of Moab to the
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 1: top of Pisga, across from Jericho. There the Lord showed
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: him the whole land from Gilead to Dan, all of Naphtali,
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: the territory of Ephraim and Manassa, all the land of
• 1:37:47
  Speaker 1: Judah as far as the Mediterranean Sea the Negev, and
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 1: the whole region from the valley of Jericho, the city
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: of Palms as far as Zoar. Then the Lord said
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 1: to him, this is the land I promised on oath
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. When I said I will
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: give it to your descendants, I have let you see
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: it with your eyes, but you will not cross over
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: into it. And Moses, the servant of the Lord, died
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: there in Moab, as the Lord had said. He buried
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 1: him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Piore. But
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 1: to this day no one knows where his grave is.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died,
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: Yet his eyes were not weak, nor his strength gone.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: thirty days, until the time of weeping and mourning was over.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: Now Joshua, son of None was filled with the spirit
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 1: of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: So the Israelites listened to him and did what the
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: Lord had commanded Moses. Since then, no prophet has risen
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 1: who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: him to do in Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 1: his officials, and to his whole land. For no one
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel.
