Hi, and welcome back
to His Words are Life.
00:00:17.43\00:00:19.83
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank
you for joining with me, today,
00:00:19.86\00:00:22.53
to read the word of God. Before
we start to read again from the
00:00:22.56\00:00:25.43
book of Exodus,
let's pray together.
00:00:25.46\00:00:26.84
Dear God, thank you so much for
the story that we're about to
00:00:26.87\00:00:31.82
read of how you saved
your people out of bondage,
00:00:31.85\00:00:35.85
out of slavery. Thank you for
how you save each of us. Help us
00:00:35.88\00:00:40.75
to listen to these words; but
not just let them fall loosely
00:00:40.78\00:00:46.25
into our minds, but may
they fall deep and take root
00:00:46.28\00:00:49.67
and bear fruit for your
glory. We love you so much,
00:00:49.70\00:00:52.90
and thank you
for loving us. Amen.
00:00:52.93\00:00:55.28
We're reading about how God
came to Moses in the wilderness,
00:00:55.31\00:01:00.93
in the burning bush that didn't
burn. And commissioned him to go
00:01:00.96\00:01:05.42
into Egypt and free the
Israelites. And it says that
00:01:05.45\00:01:08.87
Moses went forth with
the rod of God in his hand.
00:01:08.90\00:01:11.78
And were going to pick
up now in Exodus, chapter 4,
00:01:11.81\00:01:14.49
with verse 21. This is
The King James Version.
00:01:14.52\00:01:18.23
And the Lord said unto
Moses, When thou guest to return
00:01:18.26\00:01:23.04
into Egypt, see that thou do all
those wonders before Pharaoh,
00:01:23.07\00:01:26.64
which I have put in thine hand:
and I will harden his heart,
00:01:26.67\00:01:29.32
he shall not let the people go.
And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh,
00:01:29.35\00:01:34.05
Thus saith the Lord, Israel
is my son, even my firstborn:
00:01:34.08\00:01:38.28
And I say unto thee, Let my
son go, that he may serve me:
00:01:38.31\00:01:42.98
and if thou refuse to let him
go behold, I will slay thy son,
00:01:43.01\00:01:47.48
even thy firstborn: And it came
to pass by the way in the inn,
00:01:47.51\00:01:52.97
that the Lord met him,
and sought to kill him.
00:01:53.00\00:01:55.36
Then Zipporah took a sharp
stone, and cut off the foreskin
00:01:55.39\00:01:58.40
of her son, and cast it at
his feet, said, Surely a bloody
00:01:58.43\00:02:01.93
husband art thou to me.
00:02:01.96\00:02:03.32
So he let him go: then she
said, A bloody husband thou art,
00:02:03.36\00:02:07.57
because of the circumcision.
And the Lord said to Aaron,
00:02:07.60\00:02:09.96
Go into the wilderness to meet
Moses. And he went, and met him
00:02:09.99\00:02:13.66
in the mount of God, and
kissed him. And Moses told Aaron
00:02:13.69\00:02:17.55
all the words of the Lord who
had sent him, and all the signs
00:02:17.58\00:02:20.71
which he had commanded
him. And Moses and Aaron went
00:02:20.74\00:02:23.19
and gathered together all the
elders of the children of Israel
00:02:23.22\00:02:26.42
and Aaron spake all the words
which the Lord had spoken unto
00:02:26.45\00:02:30.43
Moses, and did the signs
in the sight of the people.
00:02:30.46\00:02:33.87
And the people believed:
and when thy heard that the Lord
00:02:33.90\00:02:37.48
had visited the children of
Israel, and that he had looked
00:02:37.51\00:02:39.42
upon their affliction then they
bowed their heads and worshipped
00:02:39.45\00:02:43.32
Continuing now
with Exodus, chapter 5.
00:02:43.35\00:02:46.32
And this is the
King James Version.
00:02:46.35\00:02:47.84
And Afterward Moses and
Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh,
00:02:47.87\00:02:52.23
Thus saith the Lord God
of Israel, Let my people go,
00:02:52.26\00:02:55.84
that they may hold a
feast unto me in the wilderness.
00:02:55.87\00:02:59.46
And Pharaoh said, Who is
the Lord, that I should obey
00:02:59.49\00:03:04.02
his voice to let Israel
go? I know not the Lord,
00:03:04.05\00:03:07.85
neither will I let
Israel go. And they said,
00:03:07.88\00:03:12.49
The God of the Hebrews hath met
with us: let us go we pray thee,
00:03:12.52\00:03:16.66
three days journey into
the desert, and sacrifice
00:03:16.69\00:03:19.63
unto the Lord our God; lest
he fall upon us with pestilence,
00:03:19.66\00:03:23.18
or with the sword. And the
king of Egypt said unto them,
00:03:23.21\00:03:27.04
Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron
let the people from their works?
00:03:27.07\00:03:31.58
Get you unto your burdens. And
Pharaoh said, Behold the people
00:03:31.61\00:03:35.63
of the land now are many,
and ye make them rest from their
00:03:35.66\00:03:38.42
burdens. And Pharaoh commanded
the same day the taskmasters of
00:03:38.45\00:03:43.12
the people, and their officers,
saying, Ye shall no more give
00:03:43.15\00:03:46.49
the people straw to make brick,
as heretofore: let them go
00:03:46.52\00:03:51.13
and gather straw for themselves.
And the tale of the bricks,
00:03:51.16\00:03:55.34
which they did make heretofore,
ye shall lay upon them;
00:03:55.37\00:03:58.33
ye shall not diminish
aught thereof: for they be idle;
00:03:58.36\00:04:02.05
therefore they cry,
saying, Let us go and sacrifice
00:04:02.08\00:04:05.27
to our God. Let there
more work be laid upon the men,
00:04:05.30\00:04:09.26
that they may labor therein; and
let then not regard vain words.
00:04:09.29\00:04:13.09
And the taskmasters of
the people went out, and their
00:04:13.12\00:04:16.82
officers, and they spake to
the people, saying, Thus saith
00:04:16.86\00:04:19.94
Pharaoh, I will not give
you straw. Go ye, get you straw.
00:04:19.97\00:04:24.23
where ye can find it: yet
not aught of your work shall be
00:04:24.26\00:04:27.79
diminished. So the people were
scattered abroad throughout all
00:04:27.82\00:04:31.65
the land of Egypt to
gather stubble instead of straw.
00:04:31.68\00:04:34.79
And the taskmasters hasted them,
saying, Fulfill your works,
00:04:34.82\00:04:38.96
your daily tasks, as when there
was straw. And the officers
00:04:38.99\00:04:43.48
of the children of Israel, which
Pharaoh's taskmasters had set
00:04:43.51\00:04:46.20
over them, were beaten, and
demanded, Wherefore have ye not
00:04:46.23\00:04:49.42
fulfilled your task in making
brick both yesterday and today,
00:04:49.45\00:04:52.51
as heretofore? Then the
officers of the children of
00:04:52.54\00:04:56.29
Israel came and cried
unto Pharaoh, saying, Wherefore
00:04:56.32\00:04:59.70
dealest thou thus with thy
servants, There is no straw
00:04:59.73\00:05:02.57
given unto thy servants,
and they say to us, Make brick:
00:05:02.60\00:05:05.16
and, behold, thy servants
are beaten; but the fault is in
00:05:05.19\00:05:08.58
thine own people. But he
said, Ye are idle, ye are idle:
00:05:08.61\00:05:14.06
therefore ye say, Let us go
and do sacrifice to the Lord.
00:05:14.09\00:05:17.32
Go therefore now, and work;
for there shall be no straw
00:05:17.35\00:05:21.97
given you, yet shall ye
deliver the tale of bricks.
00:05:22.00\00:05:25.06
And the officers of the
children did see that they were
00:05:25.09\00:05:28.73
in evil case, after it was
said, Ye shall not minish aught
00:05:28.76\00:05:32.27
from you bricks of your daily
task. And they met Moses and
00:05:32.30\00:05:35.79
Aaron, who stood in the way
as they came forth from Pharaoh:
00:05:35.82\00:05:38.97
And they said unto them, The
Lord look upon you, and judge;
00:05:39.00\00:05:43.10
because ye have made our savor
to be abhorred in the eyes of
00:05:43.13\00:05:46.28
Pharaoh, and in the eyes of
his servants, to put a sword
00:05:46.31\00:05:48.80
in their hand to slay us. And
Moses returned unto the Lord,
00:05:48.83\00:05:51.31
and said, Lord, wherefore
hast thou so evil entreated
00:05:51.34\00:05:55.04
this people? Why is it
that thou hast sent me?
00:05:55.07\00:05:57.68
For since I came to Pharaoh to
speak in thy name, he hath done
00:05:57.71\00:06:01.60
evil to this people; neither
hast thou delivered thy people
00:06:01.63\00:06:05.65
at all. - Continuing
in chapter six, of Exodus.
00:06:05.68\00:06:10.70
Then the Lord said unto Moses,
Now shalt thou see what I will
00:06:10.73\00:06:15.65
do to Pharaoh: for with a strong
hand shall he let them go and
00:06:15.68\00:06:19.45
with a strong hand shall he
drive them out of this land.
00:06:19.48\00:06:22.05
And God spake unto Moses, and
said unto them, I am the Lord:
00:06:22.08\00:06:25.79
And I appeared unto Abraham,
unto Isaac and unto Jacob,
00:06:25.82\00:06:29.21
by the name of God
Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH
00:06:29.24\00:06:32.92
was I not known to them.
And I have also established my
00:06:32.95\00:06:36.66
covenant with them to give them
the land of Canaan, the land of
00:06:36.69\00:06:39.74
their pilgrimage
wherein they were strangers.
00:06:39.77\00:06:41.73
And I have also heard the
groaning of the children of
00:06:41.76\00:06:44.87
Israel, whom the Egyptians keep
in bondage and I have remembered
00:06:44.90\00:06:48.88
my covenant. Wherefore say
unto the children of Israel,
00:06:48.91\00:06:52.38
I am the Lord, and I will bring
you out from under the burdens
00:06:52.41\00:06:55.73
of the Egyptians, and I will
rid you out of their bondage,
00:06:55.76\00:06:58.24
and I will redeem you
with a stretched out arm,
00:06:58.27\00:07:01.50
and with great judgments:
And I will take you to me
00:07:01.53\00:07:05.10
for a people, and I will be
to you a God: and ye shall know
00:07:05.13\00:07:08.72
that I am the Lord, your
God, which bringeth you out from
00:07:08.75\00:07:11.77
under the burdens of the
Egyptians. And I will bring
00:07:11.80\00:07:14.85
you in unto the land,
concerning the which I did swear
00:07:14.88\00:07:18.11
to give it to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob; and I will give it
00:07:18.14\00:07:22.56
to you for an heritage; I am the
Lord. And Moses spake so unto
00:07:22.59\00:07:28.76
the children of Israel: but
they hearkened not unto Moses
00:07:28.79\00:07:32.50
for anguish of spirit, and
for cruel bondage. And the Lord
00:07:32.53\00:07:37.67
spake unto Moses, saying,
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh
00:07:37.70\00:07:41.42
king of Egypt, that he let
the children of Israel go out
00:07:41.45\00:07:44.79
of his land. And Moses spake
before the Lord, saying, Behold,
00:07:44.82\00:07:49.12
the children of Israel
have not hearkened unto me;
00:07:49.15\00:07:51.43
How then shall Pharaoh hear me:
who am of uncircumcised lips?
00:07:51.46\00:07:55.73
And the Lord spake unto Moses
and unto Aaron, and gave them
00:07:55.76\00:07:59.84
a charge unto the children
of Israel, and unto Pharaoh
00:07:59.87\00:08:03.42
king of Egypt to bring
the children of Israel out of
00:08:03.45\00:08:05.80
the land of Egypt. These be the
heads of their fathers household
00:08:05.83\00:08:11.17
I am going to skip some of this
genealogy here. It looks like
00:08:11.20\00:08:15.10
it continues on over. Let's
pick it up on Exodus six, and
00:08:15.13\00:08:23.89
we'll pick up with verse 26.
These are that Aaron and Moses,
00:08:23.92\00:08:30.23
to whom the Lord said, Bring out
the children of Israel from the
00:08:30.26\00:08:33.15
land of Egypt according to their
armies. These are they which
00:08:33.18\00:08:36.82
spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt,
to bring out the children of
00:08:36.85\00:08:39.85
Israel from Egypt: these
are that Moses and Aaron.
00:08:39.88\00:08:43.26
And it came to pass on the day
when the Lord spake unto Moses
00:08:43.29\00:08:47.68
in the land of Egypt,
that the Lord spake unto Moses,
00:08:47.71\00:08:49.85
saying, I am the Lord: speak
thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt
00:08:49.88\00:08:54.45
all that I say unto thee.
And Moses said before the Lord,
00:08:54.48\00:08:57.99
Behold, I am of uncircumcised
lips, and how shall Pharaoh
00:08:58.02\00:09:02.17
hearken unto me? - We're reading
in Exodus, chapter 7, verse 1.
00:09:02.20\00:09:08.24
And the Lord said unto Moses,
See, I have made thee a god
00:09:08.27\00:09:12.49
to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy
brother shall be thy prophet.
00:09:12.52\00:09:15.44
Thou shalt speak all
that I command thee: and Aaron
00:09:15.47\00:09:19.20
thy brother shall speak
unto Pharaoh, that he send the
00:09:19.23\00:09:22.02
children of Israel out of
his land. And I will harden
00:09:22.05\00:09:25.46
Pharaoh's heart, and
multiply my signs and my wonders
00:09:25.49\00:09:28.61
in the land of Egypt.
But Pharaoh shall not hearken
00:09:28.64\00:09:31.88
unto you, that I may lay my
hand upon Egypt, and bring forth
00:09:31.91\00:09:36.27
mine armies, and my
people the children of Israel,
00:09:36.30\00:09:39.14
out of the land of
Egypt by great judgments.
00:09:39.17\00:09:41.66
And the Egyptians shall
know that I am the Lord, when I
00:09:41.69\00:09:46.26
stretch forth mine hand
upon Egypt, and bring out the
00:09:46.29\00:09:49.45
children of Israel from among
them. And Moses and Aaron did
00:09:49.48\00:09:54.02
as the Lord commanded them,
so did they. And Moses was four
00:09:54.05\00:09:58.56
score years old, and Aaron
fourscore and three years old,
00:09:58.59\00:10:01.08
when they spake unto Pharaoh.
And the Lord spake unto Moses
00:10:01.11\00:10:04.71
and unto Aaron, saying, When
Pharaoh shall speak unto you,
00:10:04.74\00:10:07.46
saying, Shew a miracle for you:
then thou shalt say unto Aaron,
00:10:07.49\00:10:11.48
take thy rod, and cast it
before Pharaoh, and it shall
00:10:11.51\00:10:15.18
become a serpent. And Moses
and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh,
00:10:15.21\00:10:19.53
and they did so as the Lord had
commanded: and Aaron cast down
00:10:19.56\00:10:23.66
his rod before Pharaoh,
and before his servants,
00:10:23.69\00:10:26.07
and it became a serpent. Then
Pharaoh also called the wise men
00:10:26.10\00:10:31.79
and the sorcerers: now the
magicians of Egypt, they also
00:10:31.82\00:10:35.64
did in like manner with their
enchantments. For they cast
00:10:35.67\00:10:38.45
down every man his rod,
and they became serpents
00:10:38.48\00:10:40.91
but Aaron's rod swallowed
up their rods. And he hardened
00:10:40.94\00:10:47.47
Pharaoh's heart, that
he hearkened not unto them;
00:10:47.50\00:10:50.08
as the Lord had said.
And the Lord said unto Moses,
00:10:50.11\00:10:52.82
Pharaoh's heart is hardened,
he refuseth to let the people go
00:10:52.85\00:10:56.51
Get thee unto Pharaoh in the
morning; lo, he goeth out unto
00:10:56.54\00:11:01.29
the water; and thou shalt stand
by the river's brink against
00:11:01.32\00:11:04.28
he come; and the rod which
was turned to a serpent shalt
00:11:04.31\00:11:08.60
thou take in thine hand.
And thou shalt say unto him,
00:11:08.63\00:11:12.66
and the Lord God of the Hebrews
hath sent me unto thee, saying,
00:11:12.69\00:11:15.87
Let my people go, that they
may serve me in the wilderness:
00:11:15.90\00:11:18.74
and, behold, hitherto
thou wouldest not hear.
00:11:18.77\00:11:22.03
Thus saith the Lord, In
this thou shalt know that I am
00:11:22.06\00:11:25.81
the Lord: behold, I will smite
with the rod that is in mine
00:11:25.84\00:11:29.41
hand upon the waters which are
in the river, and they shall be
00:11:29.44\00:11:32.66
turned to blood. And the fish
that is in the river shall die,
00:11:32.69\00:11:36.68
and the river shall stink; and
the Egyptians shall loathe to
00:11:36.71\00:11:40.38
drink of the water of the river.
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
00:11:40.41\00:11:44.24
Say unto Aaron, Take thy
rod, and stretch out thine hand
00:11:44.27\00:11:48.73
upon the waters of Egypt,
upon their streams, upon their
00:11:48.76\00:11:51.66
rivers and upon their ponds and
upon all their pools of water,
00:11:51.69\00:11:55.25
that they may become blood;
and that there may be blood
00:11:55.28\00:11:59.00
throughout all the land of Egypt
both in vessels of wood and in
00:11:59.03\00:12:03.30
vessels of stone. And Moses
and Aaron did so, as the Lord
00:12:03.33\00:12:07.77
commanded; and he lifted up the
rod, and smote the waters that
00:12:07.80\00:12:11.81
were in the river, in the sight
of Pharaoh, and in sight of his
00:12:11.84\00:12:15.19
servants; and all the
waters that were in the river
00:12:15.22\00:12:18.15
were turned to blood. And the
fish that was in the river died;
00:12:18.18\00:12:22.55
and the river stank, and
the Egyptians could not drink
00:12:22.58\00:12:25.75
of the water of the river;
and there was blood throughout
00:12:25.78\00:12:28.87
all the land of Egypt. And the
magicians of Egypt did so with
00:12:28.90\00:12:32.97
their enchantments and Pharaoh's
heart was hardened, neither did
00:12:33.00\00:12:37.07
he hearken unto them; as
the Lord had said. And Pharaoh
00:12:37.10\00:12:40.69
turned and went into his house,
neither did he set his heart
00:12:40.72\00:12:43.77
to this also. And all the
Egyptians digged round about
00:12:43.80\00:12:47.82
the river for water to drink;
for they could not drink of the
00:12:47.85\00:12:50.17
water of the river. And seven
days were fulfilled, after that
00:12:50.20\00:12:54.29
the Lord had smitten the river.
Continuing with Exodus chapter 8
00:12:54.32\00:13:00.53
And the Lord spake unto Moses,
Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto
00:13:00.56\00:13:04.93
him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my
people go, that they may serve
00:13:04.96\00:13:08.90
me. And if thou refuse to let
them go, behold, I will smite
00:13:08.93\00:13:13.22
all thy borders with frogs:
And the river shall bring forth
00:13:13.25\00:13:17.24
frogs abundantly, which shall
go up and come into thine house,
00:13:17.27\00:13:20.20
and into thy bedchamber, and
upon thy bed, and into the house
00:13:20.23\00:13:23.32
of thy servants, and upon thy
people, and into thine ovens,
00:13:23.35\00:13:26.68
and into thy kneadingtroughs:
And the frogs shall come up
00:13:26.71\00:13:30.41
both on thee, and upon
thy people, and upon all
00:13:30.44\00:13:33.52
thy servants. And the Lord
spake unto Moses, Say to Aaron,
00:13:33.55\00:13:38.30
Stretch forth thine hand
with thy rod over the streams,
00:13:38.33\00:13:41.47
over the rivers, and over the
ponds, and cause frogs to come
00:13:41.50\00:13:45.07
up upon the land of Egypt.
And Aaron stretched out his hand
00:13:45.10\00:13:49.65
over the waters of Egypt; and
the frogs came up, and covered
00:13:49.68\00:13:52.99
the land of Egypt. And the
magicians did so with their
00:13:53.02\00:13:56.22
enchantments, and brought up
frogs upon the land of Egypt.
00:13:56.25\00:13:58.88
Then Pharaoh called for Moses
and Aaron, and said, Entreat
00:13:58.91\00:14:02.09
the Lord, that he may take away
the frogs from me, and from my
00:14:02.12\00:14:06.46
people; and I will let the
people go, that they may do
00:14:06.49\00:14:09.55
sacrifice unto the Lord.
And Moses said unto Pharaoh,
00:14:09.58\00:14:13.23
Glory over me: when shall I
entreat for thee, and for thy
00:14:13.26\00:14:16.56
servants, and for thy people,
to destroy the frogs from thee
00:14:16.59\00:14:19.59
and thy houses, that they
may remain in the river only?
00:14:19.62\00:14:22.68
And he said, Tomorrow. And
he said, be it according to thy
00:14:22.71\00:14:27.28
word: that thou mayest
know that there is none
00:14:27.31\00:14:30.05
like unto the Lord our God.
