Hi, and welcome back to His Words are Life. 00:00:17.01\00:00:18.95 I'm Kelly Mowrer and today we're going to read from the book of 00:00:18.98\00:00:22.20 Exodus. But before we do, let's pray together. 00:00:22.23\00:00:24.53 Dear God, you see each one of us just now as we're coming 00:00:24.56\00:00:30.00 apart to sit down with your word for these few minutes. 00:00:30.03\00:00:33.75 Please be with us. Please send your Holy Spirit to guide us as 00:00:33.78\00:00:39.03 we hear these words and may they not just fall into our mind 00:00:39.06\00:00:44.18 in a surface way, but may they be rooted deep in our heart 00:00:44.21\00:00:47.37 where they can grow and bring fruit that will glorify your 00:00:47.40\00:00:51.58 name. That's what we long to do; to make you happy with us. 00:00:51.61\00:00:54.41 We love you so much and thank you for loving us. Amen 00:00:54.44\00:00:57.87 When we were last together, we were reading of the plagues 00:00:57.90\00:01:02.32 falling on Egypt as Moses is asking Pharaoh to let his, God's 00:01:02.35\00:01:07.41 people go and he is telling Pharaoh at this point that 00:01:07.44\00:01:11.76 there is going to be darkness over the land of Egypt, 00:01:11.79\00:01:14.03 not just any darkness, but a darkness that can be felt. 00:01:14.06\00:01:16.75 We're picking it up in chapter 10 of Exodus, 00:01:16.78\00:01:20.25 starting with verse 22. And Moses stretched forth his hand 00:01:20.28\00:01:24.96 toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land 00:01:24.99\00:01:28.31 of Egypt three days: They saw not one another, neither rose 00:01:28.34\00:01:32.54 any from his place for 3 days: but all the children of Israel 00:01:32.57\00:01:36.34 had light in their dwellings. And Pharaoh called unto Moses 00:01:36.37\00:01:40.45 and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your 00:01:40.48\00:01:44.18 herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. 00:01:44.21\00:01:47.45 And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt 00:01:47.48\00:01:51.99 offerings that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God. 00:01:52.02\00:01:54.93 Our cattle also shall go with us: there shall not an hoof 00:01:54.96\00:01:58.74 left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God; 00:01:58.77\00:02:02.86 and we know not with what we must serve the Lord, until we 00:02:02.89\00:02:05.31 come thither. But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, 00:02:05.34\00:02:08.99 and he would not let them go. And Pharaoh said unto him, 00:02:09.02\00:02:12.78 Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; 00:02:12.81\00:02:16.94 for in that day thou seest my face thou shalt die. 00:02:16.97\00:02:20.84 And Moses said, Thou hast spoken well, I will see thy face again 00:02:20.87\00:02:26.95 no more. - We're continuing in the book of Exodus, chapter 11. 00:02:26.98\00:02:31.73 This is the King James Version. And the Lord said unto Moses, 00:02:31.76\00:02:35.73 Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; 00:02:35.76\00:02:40.93 afterwards he will let you go hence; when he shall let you go, 00:02:40.96\00:02:45.07 he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. 00:02:45.10\00:02:48.37 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow 00:02:48.40\00:02:52.68 of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, 00:02:52.71\00:02:55.40 jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. And the Lord gave the 00:02:55.43\00:02:59.64 people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man 00:02:59.67\00:03:03.61 Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of 00:03:03.64\00:03:06.44 Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. 00:03:06.47\00:03:08.35 And Moses said, Thus saith the Lord, About midnight will I go 00:03:08.38\00:03:13.26 out unto the midst of Egypt: And all the firstborn in the 00:03:13.29\00:03:16.61 land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that 00:03:16.64\00:03:20.20 sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the 00:03:20.23\00:03:22.86 maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn 00:03:22.89\00:03:26.10 of beasts. And there shall be a great cry throughout all 00:03:26.13\00:03:29.64 the land of Egypt such as there was none like it, nor shall be 00:03:29.67\00:03:33.61 like it anymore. But against any of the children of Israel 00:03:33.64\00:03:37.27 shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: 00:03:37.30\00:03:41.18 that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference 00:03:41.21\00:03:44.08 between the Egyptians and Israel and all these thy servants shall 00:03:44.11\00:03:49.87 come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, 00:03:49.90\00:03:52.84 Get thee out and all the people that follow thee: and after that 00:03:52.87\00:03:57.13 I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. 00:03:57.16\00:04:02.57 And the Lord said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto 00:04:02.60\00:04:05.74 you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. 00:04:05.77\00:04:08.88 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: 00:04:08.91\00:04:12.60 and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let 00:04:12.63\00:04:16.37 the children of Israel go out of his land. 00:04:16.40\00:04:18.35 Continuing with Exodus chapter 12. 00:04:18.38\00:04:21.73 This is the King James Version. 00:04:21.76\00:04:22.82 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 00:04:22.85\00:04:27.50 saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: 00:04:27.53\00:04:31.62 it shall be the first month of the year to you. 00:04:31.65\00:04:34.16 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, 00:04:34.19\00:04:37.13 saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take 00:04:37.16\00:04:40.43 to them every man a lamb, according to the house of 00:04:40.46\00:04:44.27 their fathers, a lamb for a house. And if the household 00:04:44.30\00:04:48.06 be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto 00:04:48.10\00:04:51.67 his house take it according to the number of the souls; 00:04:51.70\00:04:54.41 every man according to his eating shall make your count 00:04:54.44\00:04:58.14 for the Lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the 00:04:58.17\00:05:02.88 first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the 00:05:02.91\00:05:06.73 goats: And ye shall keep it up until the 14th day of the same 00:05:06.76\00:05:09.32 month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel 00:05:09.35\00:05:12.66 shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood 00:05:12.69\00:05:16.59 and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door 00:05:16.62\00:05:20.60 post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat 00:05:20.63\00:05:24.63 the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; 00:05:24.66\00:05:28.61 and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor 00:05:28.64\00:05:34.20 sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with 00:05:34.23\00:05:38.34 his legs, and with the pertinence thereof. 00:05:38.37\00:05:40.43 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; 00:05:40.46\00:05:44.18 and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn 00:05:44.21\00:05:47.18 with fire. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, 00:05:47.21\00:05:51.26 your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; 00:05:51.29\00:05:54.39 and ye shall eat it in haste; it is the Lord's passover. 00:05:54.42\00:05:58.09 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, 00:05:58.12\00:06:01.73 and will smite all the first born in the land of Egypt, 00:06:01.76\00:06:04.97 both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will 00:06:05.00\00:06:09.65 execute judgment: I am the Lord. And the blood shall be to you 00:06:09.68\00:06:15.47 for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the 00:06:15.50\00:06:19.26 blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you 00:06:19.29\00:06:23.99 to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 00:06:24.02\00:06:26.78 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall 00:06:26.81\00:06:31.37 keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; 00:06:31.40\00:06:34.02 ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. 00:06:34.05\00:06:37.08 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; 00:06:37.11\00:06:40.53 even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your 00:06:40.56\00:06:42.62 houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the 1st day 00:06:42.65\00:06:46.16 until the 7th day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 00:06:46.19\00:06:49.70 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, 00:06:49.73\00:06:53.06 and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation 00:06:53.09\00:06:55.89 to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which 00:06:55.92\00:07:00.48 every man must eat, that only may be done of you. 00:07:00.51\00:07:03.98 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in 00:07:04.01\00:07:08.27 this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of 00:07:08.30\00:07:12.31 Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your 00:07:12.34\00:07:16.13 generations by an ordinance for ever. In the first month, 00:07:16.16\00:07:20.36 on the fourteenth day of the month, at even, ye shall eat 00:07:20.39\00:07:23.98 unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month 00:07:24.01\00:07:27.52 at even. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your 00:07:27.55\00:07:32.95 houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, 00:07:32.98\00:07:35.93 even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, 00:07:35.96\00:07:39.18 whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat 00:07:39.21\00:07:43.74 nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat 00:07:43.77\00:07:47.35 unleavened bread. Then Moses called for all the elders of 00:07:47.38\00:07:51.66 Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb 00:07:51.69\00:07:54.59 according to you families, and kill the passover. 00:07:54.62\00:07:58.26 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood 00:07:58.29\00:08:01.96 that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side 00:08:01.99\00:08:04.95 posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you 00:08:04.98\00:08:07.50 shall go out at that door of his house until the morning. 00:08:07.53\00:08:10.89 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; 00:08:10.92\00:08:14.72 and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two 00:08:14.75\00:08:18.13 side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not 00:08:18.16\00:08:21.25 suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite 00:08:21.28\00:08:24.77 you. And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee 00:08:24.80\00:08:28.81 and to thy sons forever. And it shall come to pass, when ye be 00:08:28.84\00:08:33.65 come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he 00:08:33.68\00:08:36.98 hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 00:08:37.01\00:08:39.71 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you 00:08:39.74\00:08:43.30 What mean ye by this service? That ye shall say, 00:08:43.33\00:08:46.79 It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over 00:08:46.82\00:08:50.95 the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote 00:08:50.98\00:08:54.19 the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people 00:08:54.22\00:08:58.88 bowed the head and worshipped. And the children of Israel 00:08:58.91\00:09:03.03 went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, 00:09:03.06\00:09:06.30 so did they. And it came to pass that at midnight the Lord smote 00:09:06.33\00:09:11.35 all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn 00:09:11.38\00:09:14.74 of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn 00:09:14.77\00:09:17.91 of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn 00:09:17.94\00:09:21.10 of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his 00:09:21.13\00:09:25.33 servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry 00:09:25.36\00:09:28.84 in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not 00:09:28.87\00:09:32.30 one dead. And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, 00:09:32.33\00:09:36.57 and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, 00:09:36.60\00:09:39.78 both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord 00:09:39.81\00:09:42.82 as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, 00:09:42.85\00:09:45.73 as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 00:09:45.76\00:09:48.97 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might 00:09:49.00\00:09:53.02 send them out of the land in haste; for they said, 00:09:53.05\00:09:55.54 We be all dead men. And the people took their dough 00:09:55.57\00:09:59.42 before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up 00:09:59.45\00:10:02.63 in their clothes upon their shoulders. And the children 00:10:02.66\00:10:05.44 of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed 00:10:05.47\00:10:08.88 of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, 00:10:08.91\00:10:12.26 and raiment: And the Lord gave the people favor in the sight 00:10:12.29\00:10:16.38 of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things 00:10:16.41\00:10:19.44 as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. 00:10:19.47\00:10:22.12 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses 00:10:22.15\00:10:25.06 to Succoth about 600,000 on foot that were men, beside children 00:10:25.09\00:10:29.58 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, 00:10:29.61\00:10:33.38 and herds, even very much cattle. And they baked 00:10:33.41\00:10:37.25 unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of 00:10:37.28\00:10:40.13 Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of 00:10:40.16\00:10:43.50 Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for 00:10:43.53\00:10:46.60 themselves any victual. Now the sojourning of the children of 00:10:46.63\00:10:50.07 Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was 430 years. And it came to pass 00:10:50.10\00:10:54.97 at the end of the 430 years, even the selfsame day 00:10:55.00\00:10:59.13 it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out 00:10:59.16\00:11:03.24 from the land of Egypt. It is a night to be much observed 00:11:03.27\00:11:08.12 unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. 00:11:08.15\00:11:11.22 This is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the 00:11:11.25\00:11:14.54 children of Israel in their generations. 00:11:14.57\00:11:16.28 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is ordinance 00:11:16.31\00:11:20.13 of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: 00:11:20.16\00:11:24.15 But every man's servant that is bought for money, 00:11:24.18\00:11:27.53 when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 00:11:27.56\00:11:31.70 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 00:11:31.73\00:11:35.40 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth aught 00:11:35.43\00:11:39.55 of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye 00:11:39.58\00:11:42.80 break a bone thereof. All the congregation of Israel 00:11:42.83\00:11:46.81 shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee 00:11:46.84\00:11:50.88 and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males 00:11:50.91\00:11:53.91 be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; 00:11:53.94\00:11:57.37 and he shall be as one that is born in the land: 00:11:57.40\00:11:59.85 for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 00:11:59.88\00:12:03.21 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger 00:12:03.24\00:12:08.17 that sojourneth among you. Thus did all the children of 00:12:08.20\00:12:11.77 Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 00:12:11.80\00:12:15.43 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the Lord 00:12:15.46\00:12:19.61 did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt 00:12:19.64\00:12:23.43 by their armies. We're continuing to read in 00:12:23.46\00:12:26.55 Exodus, the deliverance of God. This is chapter 13, 00:12:26.58\00:12:30.27 and this is the King James Version. 00:12:30.30\00:12:31.32 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Sanctify unto me all the 00:12:31.35\00:12:36.83 firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children 00:12:36.86\00:12:39.75 of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 00:12:39.78\00:12:42.68 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye 00:12:42.71\00:12:46.20 came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; 00:12:46.23\00:12:48.31 for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: 00:12:48.34\00:12:52.01 there shall no leavened bread be eaten. This day came ye out 00:12:52.04\00:12:56.39 in the month Abib. And it shall be when the Lord shall bring 00:12:56.42\00:13:00.04 thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, 00:13:00.07\00:13:02.22 and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, 00:13:02.25\00:13:04.56 which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing 00:13:04.59\00:13:08.61 with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this 00:13:08.64\00:13:12.31 month. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the 00:13:12.34\00:13:16.52 seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. Unleavened bread 00:13:16.55\00:13:20.69 shall be eaten seven days and there shall no leavened bread be 00:13:20.72\00:13:23.69 seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee 00:13:23.72\00:13:27.63 in all thy quarters. And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, 00:13:27.66\00:13:31.79 saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me 00:13:31.82\00:13:35.03 when I came forth out of Egypt. And it shall be for a 00:13:35.06\00:13:39.14 sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between 00:13:39.17\00:13:43.01 thine eyes, that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth: 00:13:43.04\00:13:46.36 for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of 00:13:46.39\00:13:50.21 Egypt. Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his 00:13:50.24\00:13:54.10 season from year to year. And it shall be when the Lord shall 00:13:54.13\00:13:58.18 bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto 00:13:58.21\00:14:00.92 thee and to they fathers, and shall give it thee. 00:14:00.95\00:14:03.52 That thou shalt set apart unto the Lord all that openeth the 00:14:03.55\00:14:07.32 matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast 00:14:07.35\00:14:10.27 which thou hast; the males shall be the Lord's. 00:14:10.30\00:14:13.26 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; 00:14:13.29\00:14:17.23 and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: 00:14:17.26\00:14:20.53 and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou 00:14:20.56\00:14:24.29 redeem. Thank you for joining with me 00:14:24.32\00:14:27.24 to read the word of God today, and until next time, 00:14:27.27\00:14:29.40 may God keep you and bless you. Goodbye. 00:14:29.43\00:14:31.98
