Hi and welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.48\00:00:19.25
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and we're
00:00:19.45\00:00:20.93
going to continue reading today
00:00:21.03\00:00:22.63
from the book of Genesis.
00:00:22.73\00:00:23.94
But before we read
together, let's pray.
00:00:24.14\00:00:26.27
Dear God, thank you so
much for this opportunity
00:00:26.67\00:00:31.15
that we have right
now to come apart and...
00:00:31.25\00:00:34.06
and spend a few minutes in Your
presence reading from Your Word.
00:00:34.27\00:00:37.88
Please come very
close to us as we read.
00:00:38.08\00:00:40.62
and guide our minds
into a deeper understanding
00:00:40.73\00:00:43.93
so that we can walk
more closely with You.
00:00:44.03\00:00:46.36
Thank you for this opportunity,
and thank you for loving us.
00:00:46.57\00:00:50.32
We love You so much, Amen.
00:00:50.52\00:00:52.17
When we were reading together
last, we were reading the story
00:00:53.33\00:00:56.05
of Noah - who in a world
full of sin and corruption
00:00:56.15\00:00:59.65
of every kind - remained
righteous and close to God.
00:00:59.75\00:01:03.20
The Bible says he found
grace in the eyes of the Lord.
00:01:03.40\00:01:06.30
And God instructed
Noah to build an ark
00:01:06.50\00:01:08.65
because He was going to
send the flood to destroy the
00:01:08.75\00:01:13.85
wickedness in the earth.
00:01:13.95\00:01:15.09
We pick up the story
in chapter 7 and verse 22.
00:01:15.29\00:01:18.96
All in whose nostrils
was the breath of life,
00:01:19.26\00:01:23.42
of all that was in
the dry land, died.
00:01:23.62\00:01:26.97
And every living substance
was destroyed which was upon the
00:01:27.17\00:01:30.47
face of the ground,
both man, and cattle,
00:01:30.57\00:01:33.95
and creeping things,
and the fowl of the heaven;
00:01:34.05\00:01:36.19
and they were
destroyed from the earth:
00:01:36.39\00:01:38.46
and Noah only remained alive,
and they that were with him
00:01:38.66\00:01:42.80
in the ark. And the
waters prevailed upon the earth
00:01:42.90\00:01:45.75
a hundred and fifty days.
00:01:45.85\00:01:48.00
Continuing now with
chapter 8 in Genesis.
00:01:48.20\00:01:50.77
And this is the
King James version.
00:01:50.97\00:01:52.29
And God remembered
Noah, and every living thing,
00:01:52.49\00:01:56.22
and all the cattle that
was with him in the ark;
00:01:56.43\00:01:58.46
and God made a wind
to pass over the earth,
00:01:58.56\00:02:01.35
and the waters assuaged;
00:02:01.55\00:02:03.56
The fountains also of the
deep and the windows of heaven
00:02:03.76\00:02:06.67
were stopped, and the rain
from heaven was restrained;
00:02:06.77\00:02:09.19
And the waters returned
from off the earth continually:
00:02:09.39\00:02:12.59
and after the end of
the hundred and fifty days
00:02:12.69\00:02:14.60
the waters were abated. And the
ark rested in the seventh month,
00:02:14.71\00:02:19.87
on the
seventeenth day of the month,
00:02:20.07\00:02:21.82
upon the mountains of Ararat.
00:02:22.02\00:02:24.29
And the waters decreased con-
tinually until the tenth month:
00:02:24.49\00:02:28.22
in the tenth month, on
the first day of the month,
00:02:28.42\00:02:31.18
were the tops of
the mountains seen.
00:02:31.38\00:02:33.80
And it came to pass
at the end of forty days,
00:02:34.00\00:02:36.87
that Noah opened the window
of the ark which he had made:
00:02:37.07\00:02:40.66
And he sent forth a raven,
which went forth to and fro,
00:02:40.86\00:02:44.53
until the waters were
dried up from off the earth.
00:02:44.73\00:02:47.49
Also he sent forth a dove
from him, to see if the waters
00:02:47.69\00:02:51.01
were abated from off
the face of the ground;
00:02:51.12\00:02:53.01
But the dove found no
rest for the sole of her foot,
00:02:53.21\00:02:55.99
and she returned
unto him into the ark,
00:02:56.09\00:02:58.35
for the waters were on
the face of the whole earth:
00:02:58.55\00:03:00.76
then he put forth
his hand, and took her,
00:03:00.96\00:03:02.45
and pulled her in
unto him into the ark.
00:03:02.55\00:03:05.05
And he stayed yet other seven
days; and again he sent forth
00:03:05.25\00:03:10.00
the dove out of the ark;
00:03:10.10\00:03:11.37
And the dove came in
to him in the evening;
00:03:11.57\00:03:13.64
and, lo, in her mouth was
an olive leaf plucked off:
00:03:13.67\00:03:17.97
so Noah knew that the waters
were abated from off the earth.
00:03:18.17\00:03:22.10
And he stayed yet other seven
days; and sent forth the dove;
00:03:22.30\00:03:26.48
which returned not
again unto him any more.
00:03:26.58\00:03:28.86
And it came to pass in the
six hundredth and first year,
00:03:29.06\00:03:32.62
in the first month,
the first day of the month,
00:03:32.82\00:03:35.18
the waters were dried
up from off the earth:
00:03:35.38\00:03:37.73
and Noah removed the
covering of the ark, and looked,
00:03:37.93\00:03:41.22
and, behold, the face
of the ground was dry.
00:03:41.42\00:03:45.01
And in the second month,
on the seven and twentieth day
00:03:45.21\00:03:48.57
of the month,
was the earth dried.
00:03:48.67\00:03:50.53
And God spake unto Noah, saying,
00:03:50.73\00:03:52.98
"Go forth of the
ark, thou, and thy wife,
00:03:53.18\00:03:56.32
and thy sons, and thy
son's wives with thee.
00:03:56.42\00:03:58.92
Bring forth with thee every
living thing that is with thee,
00:03:59.12\00:04:02.86
of all flesh, both
of fowl, and of cattle,
00:04:03.06\00:04:05.65
and of every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth;
00:04:05.75\00:04:08.46
that they may breed abundantly
in the earth, and be fruitful,
00:04:08.66\00:04:12.77
and multiply upon the earth.
00:04:12.97\00:04:15.06
And Noah went forth,
and his sons, and his wife,
00:04:15.46\00:04:20.19
and his sons' wives with him:
00:04:20.39\00:04:21.85
Every beast, every
creeping thing, and every fowl,
00:04:22.06\00:04:25.59
and whatsoever creepeth upon
the earth, after their kinds,
00:04:25.69\00:04:28.56
went forth out of the ark.
00:04:28.66\00:04:30.43
And Noah builded an
altar unto the Lord;
00:04:30.63\00:04:33.20
and took of every clean beast,
00:04:33.40\00:04:35.17
and of every clean fowl,
00:04:35.37\00:04:36.82
and offered burnt
offerings on the altar.
00:04:37.02\00:04:39.54
And the Lord smelled a
sweet savor; and the Lord said
00:04:39.74\00:04:43.43
in His heart, "I will not
again curse the ground any more
00:04:43.53\00:04:47.08
for man's sake; for the
imagination of man's heart
00:04:47.18\00:04:50.43
is evil from his youth; neither
will I again smite any more
00:04:50.53\00:04:55.18
every thing
living, as I have done.
00:04:55.28\00:04:57.44
While the earth
remaineth, seedtime and harvest,
00:04:57.64\00:05:00.66
and cold and heat,
and summer and winter,
00:05:00.86\00:05:03.05
and day and night
shall not cease. "
00:05:03.25\00:05:06.09
We are starting with chapter
9 in the book of Genesis.
00:05:06.29\00:05:09.35
This is the King James version.
00:05:09.55\00:05:11.23
And God blessed Noah and his
00:05:11.43\00:05:13.72
sons, and said unto them,
00:05:13.82\00:05:14.93
"Be fruitful, and multiply,
00:05:15.03\00:05:16.36
and replenish the earth.
00:05:16.46\00:05:17.82
And the fear of you and
the dread of you shall be upon
00:05:18.02\00:05:21.15
every beast of the earth,
and upon every fowl of the air,
00:05:21.25\00:05:24.16
upon all the
moveth upon the earth,
00:05:24.36\00:05:26.60
and upon all the
fishes of the sea;
00:05:26.70\00:05:28.18
into your hand
are they delivered.
00:05:28.38\00:05:30.75
Every moving thing that
liveth shall be meat for you;
00:05:30.95\00:05:34.98
even as the green herb
have I given you all things.
00:05:35.19\00:05:38.46
But flesh with the life thereof,
which is the blood thereof,
00:05:38.66\00:05:42.80
shall ye not eat.
00:05:43.00\00:05:44.44
And surely your blood of
your lives will I require;
00:05:44.64\00:05:48.45
at the hand of every
beast will I require it,
00:05:48.65\00:05:51.25
and at the hand of man:
at the hand of every man's
00:05:51.35\00:05:54.23
brother will I
require the life of man.
00:05:54.33\00:05:56.95
Whoso sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood be shed:
00:05:57.15\00:06:02.32
for in the image
of God made He man.
00:06:02.53\00:06:05.41
And you, be ye
fruitful, and multiply;
00:06:05.44\00:06:08.98
bring forth abundantly in the
earth, and multiply therein. "
00:06:09.18\00:06:12.54
And God spake unto Noah, and
to his sons with him, saying,
00:06:12.84\00:06:17.27
"And I, behold, I
establish My covenant with you,
00:06:17.47\00:06:22.00
and with your seed after you;
00:06:22.10\00:06:23.86
And with every living
creature that is with you,
00:06:24.06\00:06:26.82
of the fowl, of the cattle,
and of every beast of the earth
00:06:27.02\00:06:30.26
with you; from all
that go out of the ark,
00:06:30.37\00:06:32.57
to every beast of the earth.
00:06:32.77\00:06:34.13
And I will establish
My covenant with you;
00:06:34.23\00:06:36.98
neither shall all flesh be
cut off any more by the waters
00:06:37.18\00:06:41.88
of a flood; neither
shall there any more be a flood
00:06:41.98\00:06:45.70
to destroy the earth. "
00:06:45.80\00:06:47.52
And God said, "This is the token
of the covenant which I make
00:06:47.72\00:06:52.40
between Me and you
and every living creature
00:06:52.50\00:06:55.94
that is with you, for
perpetual generations:
00:06:56.05\00:06:58.92
I do set My bow in the cloud,
and it shall be for a token
00:06:59.12\00:07:03.70
of a covenant
between Me and the earth.
00:07:03.80\00:07:05.89
And it shall come to pass,
when I bring a cloud over the
00:07:06.09\00:07:09.17
earth, that the bow
shall be seen in the cloud:
00:07:09.27\00:07:11.99
And I will remember My covenant,
which is between Me and you
00:07:12.19\00:07:15.62
and every living
creature of all flesh;
00:07:15.72\00:07:17.44
and the waters shall
no more become a flood
00:07:17.64\00:07:20.19
to destroy all flesh. And
the bow shall be in the cloud;
00:07:20.39\00:07:24.92
and I will look upon
it, that I may remember
00:07:25.12\00:07:28.01
the everlasting covenant between
God and every living creature
00:07:28.11\00:07:31.65
of all flesh that
is upon the earth. "
00:07:31.76\00:07:34.23
And God said unto Noah,
00:07:34.53\00:07:36.57
"This is the token of
the covenant, which I have
00:07:36.77\00:07:38.73
established between Me and all
flesh that is upon the earth. "
00:07:38.83\00:07:42.08
And the sons of Noah,
that went forth of the ark,
00:07:42.28\00:07:45.34
were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth:
and Ham is the father of Canaan.
00:07:45.54\00:07:49.95
These are the
three sons of Noah:
00:07:50.16\00:07:52.78
and of them was the
whole earth overspread.
00:07:52.98\00:07:56.18
And Noah began
to be a husbandman,
00:07:56.38\00:07:58.91
and he planted a vineyard:
00:07:59.11\00:08:00.32
And he drank of the
wine, and was drunken;
00:08:00.52\00:08:02.91
and he was
uncovered within his tent.
00:08:03.11\00:08:05.43
And Ham, the father of Canaan,
saw the nakedness of his father,
00:08:05.63\00:08:10.62
and told his two
brethren without.
00:08:10.72\00:08:12.22
And Shem and
Japheth took a garment,
00:08:12.32\00:08:14.09
and laid it upon both their
shoulders and went backward,
00:08:14.19\00:08:17.16
and covered the
nakedness of their father;
00:08:17.36\00:08:18.91
and their faces were backward,
00:08:19.11\00:08:20.59
and they saw not
their father's nakedness.
00:08:20.79\00:08:23.73
And Noah awoke from his wine,
and knew what his younger son
00:08:23.93\00:08:28.31
had done unto him. And he said,
00:08:28.41\00:08:31.01
"Cursed be Canaan; a
servant of servants shall he be
00:08:31.11\00:08:34.94
unto his brethren. "
00:08:35.04\00:08:36.15
And he said, "Blessed
be the Lord God of Shem;
00:08:36.35\00:08:39.29
and Canaan shall be his servant.
00:08:39.50\00:08:41.62
And God shall enlarge Japheth,
and he shall dwell in the tents
00:08:41.82\00:08:45.70
of Shem; and Canaan
shall be his servant. "
00:08:45.80\00:08:49.34
And Noah lived after the flood
three hundred and fifty years.
00:08:49.54\00:08:53.15
And all the days of Noah were
nine hundred and fifty years:
00:08:53.35\00:08:57.51
and he died.
00:08:57.71\00:08:59.21
We are reading in
Genesis chapter 10.
00:08:59.41\00:09:01.79
And as I am looking here
at chapter 10, I see there is
00:09:01.99\00:09:04.90
a lot of genealogy here,
00:09:05.00\00:09:06.67
and you probably could read
those names and pronounce them
00:09:06.77\00:09:08.65
better than I could
anyway. So let's skip on down
00:09:08.76\00:09:11.24
to chapter... Well let's read
the last verse of chapter 10.
00:09:11.34\00:09:16.12
It will be verse 32. It says:
00:09:16.15\00:09:17.51
These are the
families of the sons of Noah,
00:09:17.71\00:09:19.74
after their
generations, in their nations:
00:09:19.95\00:09:22.39
and by these were the
nations divided in the earth
00:09:22.59\00:09:25.20
after the flood.
00:09:25.30\00:09:26.78
And now we'll continue
with Genesis in chapter 11.
00:09:26.98\00:09:29.31
And the whole earth was of
one language, and of one speech.
00:09:29.61\00:09:34.02
And it came to pass, as
they journeyed from the east,
00:09:34.22\00:09:37.25
that they found a
plain in the land of Shinar;
00:09:37.45\00:09:40.12
and they dwelt there.
And they said one to another,
00:09:40.23\00:09:42.99
"Go, to, let us make brick,
and burn them thoroughly. "
00:09:43.20\00:09:46.91
And they had brick for stone,
and slime had they for mortar.
00:09:47.11\00:09:50.46
And they said, "Go, to, let
us build us a city and a tower,
00:09:50.66\00:09:55.35
whose top may reach unto heaven;
00:09:55.56\00:09:58.02
and let us make us a name,
lest we be scattered abroad
00:09:58.22\00:10:01.31
upon the face of
the whole earth. "
00:10:01.41\00:10:02.97
And the Lord came down to
see the city and the tower,
00:10:03.17\00:10:06.93
which the
children of men builded.
00:10:07.13\00:10:08.78
And the Lord said,
"Behold, the people is one,
00:10:08.98\00:10:13.21
and they have all one language;
00:10:13.31\00:10:15.35
and this they begin to
do: and now nothing will be
00:10:15.55\00:10:19.03
restrained from them,
which they have imagined to do.
00:10:19.13\00:10:21.93
Go to, let Us go down, and
there confound their language,
00:10:22.13\00:10:27.26
that they may not understand
one another's speech. "
00:10:27.46\00:10:30.85
Therefore is the
name of it called Babel;
00:10:32.29\00:10:34.88
because the Lord did
there confound the language
00:10:35.08\00:10:37.68
of all the earth: and from
thence did the Lord scatter them
00:10:37.78\00:10:40.55
abroad upon the
face of all the earth.
00:10:40.65\00:10:42.60
These are the
generations of Shem:
00:10:42.80\00:10:45.53
and again, rather than reading
names that you probably can
00:10:45.73\00:10:48.60
pronounce better than I
can, let's skip through all of
00:10:48.70\00:10:50.71
Shem's generations and
turn over to Genesis chapter 11
00:10:50.81\00:10:55.15
and let's pick it
up in... in verse 27.
00:10:55.25\00:10:58.31
Now these are the
generations of Terah:
00:10:58.52\00:11:02.32
Terah begat Abram, Nahor,
and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
00:11:02.52\00:11:06.89
And Haran died before his
father Terah in the land of his
00:11:07.10\00:11:10.36
nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
00:11:10.46\00:11:12.41
And Abram and
Nahor took them wives:
00:11:12.61\00:11:15.00
the name of
Abram's wife was Sarai;
00:11:15.20\00:11:17.28
and the name of Nahor's wife
Milcah, the daughter of Haran,
00:11:17.48\00:11:20.27
the father of Milcah,
and the father of Iscah.
00:11:20.47\00:11:22.57
But Sarai was
barren; she had no child.
00:11:22.77\00:11:26.05
And Terah took Abram his
son, and Lot the son of Haran
00:11:26.25\00:11:30.47
his son's son, and
Sarai his daughter-in-law,
00:11:30.57\00:11:33.64
his son Abram's wife; and they
went forth with them from Ur
00:11:33.85\00:11:37.44
of the Chaldees, to go
into the land of Canaan;
00:11:37.54\00:11:40.02
and they came unto
Haran, and dwelt there.
00:11:40.22\00:11:42.54
And the days of Terah were
two hundred and five years:
00:11:42.74\00:11:46.46
and Terah died in Haran.
00:11:46.66\00:11:48.86
Reading in Genesis chapter 12,
00:11:49.06\00:11:51.48
and this is the
King James version.
00:11:51.58\00:11:53.09
Now the Lord
had said unto Abram,
00:11:53.29\00:11:55.91
"Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred,
00:11:56.11\00:11:59.11
and from thy father's house,
00:11:59.21\00:12:00.62
unto a land that
I will show thee:
00:12:00.83\00:12:03.69
And I will make of
thee a great nation,
00:12:03.89\00:12:06.79
and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great;
00:12:06.99\00:12:09.51
and thou shalt be a blessing:
00:12:09.54\00:12:11.78
And I will bless
them that bless thee,
00:12:11.98\00:12:14.33
and curse him that curseth thee:
00:12:14.53\00:12:16.51
and in thee shall all families
of the earth be blessed. "
00:12:16.71\00:12:21.08
So Abram departed, as
the Lord had spoken unto him;
00:12:21.29\00:12:24.89
and Lot went with him; and Abram
was seventy and five years old
00:12:25.09\00:12:29.69
when he departed out of Haran.
00:12:29.79\00:12:31.41
And Abram took Sarai his
wife, and Lot his brother's son,
00:12:31.61\00:12:35.98
and all their substance
that they had gathered,
00:12:36.08\00:12:38.40
and the souls that
they had gotten in Haran;
00:12:38.60\00:12:41.19
and they went forth to
go into the land of Canaan;
00:12:41.29\00:12:43.75
and into the land
of Canaan they came.
00:12:43.96\00:12:46.31
And Abram passed through the
land unto the place of Sichem,
00:12:46.51\00:12:50.32
unto the plain of Moreh. And the
Canaanite was then in the land.
00:12:50.52\00:12:54.81
And the Lord
appeared unto Abram, and said,
00:12:55.01\00:12:57.48
"Unto thy seed
will I give this land:
00:12:57.68\00:13:00.27
and there builded he
an altar unto the Lord,
00:13:00.48\00:13:03.42
who appeared unto him.
00:13:03.62\00:13:04.99
And he removed from thence unto
a mountain on the east of Bethel
00:13:05.19\00:13:09.63
and pitched his tent,
having Bethel on the west,
00:13:09.73\00:13:12.49
and Haion on the east:
and there he builded an altar
00:13:12.69\00:13:16.42
unto the Lord, and called
upon the name of the Lord.
00:13:16.52\00:13:19.15
And Abram journeyed,
going on still toward the south.
00:13:19.35\00:13:23.69
And there was a famine in
the land: and Abram went down
00:13:23.89\00:13:27.11
into Egypt to sojourn there;
00:13:27.21\00:13:29.22
for the famine was
grievous in the land.
00:13:29.32\00:13:31.08
And it came to pass, when he was
come near to enter into Egypt,
00:13:31.28\00:13:35.80
that he said unto
Sarai his wife, "Behold now,
00:13:35.90\00:13:40.37
I know that thou art a
fair woman to look upon:
00:13:40.57\00:13:43.44
Therefore it shall come to
pass, when the Egyptians shall
00:13:43.64\00:13:46.77
see thee, that they
shall say, This is his wife:
00:13:46.87\00:13:49.81
and they will kill me,
but they will save thee alive.
00:13:50.01\00:13:52.80
Say, I pray thee, thou art
my sister: that it may be well
00:13:53.00\00:13:58.25
with me for thy sake;
00:13:58.35\00:13:59.68
and my soul shall
live because of thee. "
00:13:59.88\00:14:02.44
And it came to pass, that,
when Abram was come into Egypt,
00:14:02.64\00:14:06.33
the Egyptians beheld the
woman that she was very fair,
00:14:06.53\00:14:09.46
The princes also of Pharaoh
saw her, and commended her
00:14:09.66\00:14:12.82
before Pharaoh: and the woman
was taken into Pharaoh's house.
00:14:12.92\00:14:16.38
And he entreated
Abram well for her sake:
00:14:16.58\00:14:19.16
and he had sheep,
and oxen, and he asses,
00:14:19.37\00:14:21.93
and menservants,
and maidservants,
00:14:22.03\00:14:23.44
and she asses, and camels.
00:14:23.64\00:14:25.13
And the Lord plagued
Pharaoh and his house
00:14:25.34\00:14:28.27
with great plagues
because of Sarai Abram's wife.
00:14:28.37\00:14:32.19
Please join me
again next time. Goodbye.
