Hi, welcome back
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:16.59\00:00:19.21
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and today
00:00:19.41\00:00:20.96
we're reading from
the book of Exodus.
00:00:21.14\00:00:22.69
But before we read,
let's pray together.
00:00:22.89\00:00:24.81
Dear Jesus, thank You so much
for becoming the Passover Lamb
00:00:25.74\00:00:29.90
for each one of us so
that when sin would come
00:00:30.00\00:00:33.83
and we would die, you
instead stood in our place
00:00:33.93\00:00:37.28
and became life for us.
And not only life eternal
00:00:37.49\00:00:40.93
but the life that we will
have here and now serving You
00:00:41.03\00:00:44.49
strengthened by the words
that we are about to read.
00:00:44.59\00:00:46.87
Please be with us as we read.
00:00:47.07\00:00:48.27
Bless us and guide us to a
deeper understanding of You.
00:00:48.47\00:00:51.68
We love You so much and
thank You for loving us, Amen.
00:00:51.88\00:00:55.08
We are reading in the book
of Exodus about God sending
00:00:55.48\00:01:00.05
Moses and Aaron to set
the Israelites free from
00:01:00.25\00:01:03.77
the Egyptians. They have
just celebrated the Passover
00:01:03.87\00:01:06.91
and are leaving Egypt.
And we pick up the story now
00:01:07.01\00:01:10.56
in Exodus chapter 13 verse 14.
This is the King James version.
00:01:10.66\00:01:16.04
And it shall be when thy
son asketh thee in time to come,
00:01:16.89\00:01:20.24
saying, What is this?
that thou shalt say unto him,
00:01:20.34\00:01:23.46
By strength of hand the
Lord brought us out from Egypt,
00:01:23.66\00:01:26.91
from the house of bondage.
00:01:27.01\00:01:28.56
And it came to pass, when
Pharaoh would hardly let us go,
00:01:28.76\00:01:32.35
that the Lord slew all the
first-born in the land of Egypt,
00:01:32.55\00:01:35.81
both the first-born of man,
and the first-born of beast:
00:01:36.01\00:01:38.64
therefore I
sacrifice to the Lord
00:01:38.84\00:01:41.17
all that openeth
the matrix, being males;
00:01:41.27\00:01:44.03
but all the first-born
of my children I redeem.
00:01:44.23\00:01:47.52
And it shall be for a token upon
thine hand, and for frontlets
00:01:47.72\00:01:51.30
between thine eyes:
for by strength of hand
00:01:51.40\00:01:53.88
the Lord brought
us forth out of Egypt.
00:01:53.98\00:01:55.79
And it came to pass, when
Pharaoh had let the people go,
00:01:55.99\00:01:59.78
that God led them not through
the way of the land of the
00:01:59.98\00:02:02.80
Philistines, although
that was near; for God said,
00:02:02.90\00:02:05.88
Lest peradventure the
people repent when they see war,
00:02:06.08\00:02:08.93
and they return to Egypt:
00:02:09.13\00:02:10.87
But God led the people about,
00:02:11.07\00:02:13.10
through the way of the
wilderness of the Red Sea:
00:02:13.30\00:02:15.91
and the children of Israel went
up harnessed out of the land
00:02:16.11\00:02:18.87
of Egypt. And Moses took
the bones of Joseph with him:
00:02:18.97\00:02:22.86
for he had straightly sworn
the children of Israel, saying,
00:02:23.06\00:02:26.19
God will surely visit you;
and you shall carry up my bones
00:02:26.39\00:02:29.63
away hence with you.
00:02:29.74\00:02:31.18
And they took their
journey from Succoth,
00:02:31.38\00:02:33.63
and encamped in Etham, in
the edge of the wilderness.
00:02:33.73\00:02:36.29
And the Lord went before them
by day in a pillar of cloud,
00:02:36.49\00:02:40.08
to lead them in the way;
00:02:40.18\00:02:41.55
and by night in a pillar
of fire, to give them light;
00:02:41.75\00:02:45.00
to go by day and night:
00:02:45.20\00:02:47.09
He took not away the
pillar of the cloud by day,
00:02:47.29\00:02:50.46
nor the pillar of fire by
night, from before the people.
00:02:50.66\00:02:54.56
We are reading in the book
of Exodus, chapter 14, and this
00:02:54.77\00:02:58.13
is the King James version.
00:02:58.23\00:03:00.01
And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
00:03:00.21\00:03:02.46
Speak unto the children
of Israel, that they turn and
00:03:02.66\00:03:05.64
encamp before Pihahiroth,
between Migdol and the sea,
00:03:05.74\00:03:09.80
over against Baalzephon: before
it shall ye encamp by the sea.
00:03:10.00\00:03:14.38
For Pharaoh will say of the
children of Israel, they are
00:03:14.58\00:03:17.25
entangled in the land, the
wilderness hath shut them in.
00:03:17.35\00:03:20.31
And I will harden Pharaoh's
heart, that he shall follow
00:03:20.51\00:03:23.88
after them; and I will
be honored upon Pharaoh,
00:03:23.98\00:03:28.28
and upon all his host;
that the Egyptians may know
00:03:28.38\00:03:31.51
that I am the
Lord. And they did so.
00:03:31.61\00:03:34.72
And it was told the king
of Egypt that the people fled:
00:03:34.92\00:03:38.68
and the heart of Pharaoh and of
his servants was turned against
00:03:38.88\00:03:42.45
the people, and they
said, Why have we done this,
00:03:42.55\00:03:45.27
that we have let
Israel go from serving us?
00:03:45.37\00:03:48.06
And he made ready his chariot,
and took his people with him:
00:03:48.26\00:03:51.74
And he took six hundred chosen
chariots, and all the chariots
00:03:51.94\00:03:55.72
of Egypt, and captains
over every one of them.
00:03:55.82\00:03:58.50
And the Lord hardened the
heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,
00:03:58.70\00:04:02.90
and he pursued after
the children of Israel:
00:04:03.10\00:04:06.74
and the children of Israel
went out with a high hand.
00:04:06.94\00:04:10.94
But the Egyptians
pursued after them,
00:04:11.04\00:04:12.75
all the horses and
chariots of Pharaoh,
00:04:12.90\00:04:14.85
and his horsemen, and his army,
00:04:14.99\00:04:16.52
and overtook them
encamping by the sea,
00:04:16.72\00:04:19.15
beside
Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.
00:04:19.35\00:04:22.74
And when Pharaoh drew nigh,
the children of Israel lifted up
00:04:22.95\00:04:26.28
their eyes, and, behold, the
Egyptians marched after them;
00:04:26.38\00:04:29.49
and they were sore afraid:
00:04:29.69\00:04:32.30
and the children of
Israel cried out unto the Lord.
00:04:32.50\00:04:34.48
And they said unto Moses,
Because there were no graves
00:04:34.69\00:04:37.42
in Egypt, hast thou taken us
away to die in the wilderness?
00:04:37.52\00:04:40.69
wherefore hast thou dealt
thus with us, to carry us forth
00:04:40.89\00:04:44.56
out of Egypt? Is not
this the word that we did
00:04:44.67\00:04:48.22
tell thee in Egypt,
saying, Let us alone,
00:04:48.32\00:04:50.96
that we may serve the Egyptians?
00:04:51.06\00:04:52.91
For it had been better
for us to serve the Egyptians,
00:04:53.11\00:04:56.07
than that we should
die in the wilderness.
00:04:56.17\00:04:57.92
And Moses said unto
the people, Fear ye not,
00:04:58.12\00:05:01.11
stand still, and see
the salvation of the Lord,
00:05:01.39\00:05:04.37
which He will show to you today:
for the Egyptians whom you have
00:05:04.47\00:05:08.26
seen today, you shall see
them again no more for ever.
00:05:08.36\00:05:12.73
The Lord shall fight for you,
and you shall hold your peace.
00:05:12.93\00:05:18.18
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Wherefore criest thou unto Me?
00:05:18.38\00:05:22.51
speak unto the children of
Israel, that they go forward:
00:05:22.71\00:05:25.06
But lift thou up thy rod,
and stretch out thine hand
00:05:25.26\00:05:28.83
over the sea, and divide
it: and the children of Israel
00:05:28.93\00:05:32.36
shall go on dry ground
through the midst of the sea.
00:05:32.49\00:05:36.22
And I, behold, I will harden
the hearts of the Egyptians,
00:05:36.42\00:05:41.11
and they shall follow
them: and I will get Me honor
00:05:41.14\00:05:44.72
upon Pharaoh, and upon all
his host, upon his chariots,
00:05:44.82\00:05:47.85
and upon his horsemen.
00:05:47.95\00:05:49.34
And the Egyptians shall
know that I am the Lord,
00:05:49.54\00:05:52.67
when I have gotten Me honor
upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots,
00:05:52.87\00:05:56.58
and upon his horsemen.
00:05:56.68\00:05:57.99
And the angel of God, which
went before the camp of Israel,
00:05:58.19\00:06:01.60
removed and went behind them;
and the pillar of the cloud
00:06:01.79\00:06:06.12
went from before their
face, and stood behind them:
00:06:06.22\00:06:09.65
And it came between the camp
of the Egyptians and the camp
00:06:09.85\00:06:12.87
of Israel; and it was a
cloud of darkness to them,
00:06:12.97\00:06:16.07
but it gave light
by night to these:
00:06:16.17\00:06:19.11
so that the one came not
near the other all night.
00:06:19.21\00:06:23.25
And Moses stretched
out his hand over the sea;
00:06:23.45\00:06:26.00
and the Lord caused the sea
to go back by a strong east wind
00:06:26.20\00:06:31.39
all that night, and
made the sea dry land,
00:06:31.49\00:06:35.27
and the waters were divided.
00:06:35.47\00:06:37.33
And the children of Israel
went into the midst of the sea
00:06:37.53\00:06:40.93
upon the dry ground: and
the waters were a wall unto them
00:06:41.13\00:06:44.62
on their right
hand, and on their left.
00:06:44.73\00:06:47.04
And the Egyptians
pursued, and went in after them
00:06:47.25\00:06:50.82
to the midst of the sea,
even all Pharaoh's horses,
00:06:50.92\00:06:53.87
his chariots, and his horsemen.
00:06:53.97\00:06:55.98
And it came to pass, that in the
morning watch the Lord looked
00:06:56.18\00:07:00.43
unto the host of the Egyptians
through the pillar of fire
00:07:00.53\00:07:03.40
and of the cloud, and troubled
the host of the Egyptians.
00:07:03.50\00:07:07.43
And took off their chariot
wheels, that they drave them
00:07:07.63\00:07:10.30
heavily, so that the Egyptians
said, Let us flee from the face
00:07:10.41\00:07:14.07
of Israel, for the Lord fighteth
for them against the Egyptians.
00:07:14.11\00:07:17.74
And the Lord said unto
Moses, stretch out thine hand
00:07:17.94\00:07:21.80
over the sea, that the
waters may come again upon the
00:07:21.91\00:07:25.38
Egyptians, upon their chariots,
and upon their horsemen.
00:07:25.49\00:07:28.87
And Moses stretched forth his
hand over the sea, and the sea
00:07:29.07\00:07:32.52
returned to his strength
when the morning appeared;
00:07:32.62\00:07:34.85
and the Egyptians fled against
it; and the Lord overthrew
00:07:34.95\00:07:38.24
the Egyptians in
the midst of the sea.
00:07:38.34\00:07:40.60
And the waters returned,
and covered the chariots,
00:07:40.80\00:07:43.26
and the horsemen, and all
the host of Pharaoh that came
00:07:43.37\00:07:46.02
into the sea after them;
00:07:46.12\00:07:47.51
there remained not
so much as one of them.
00:07:47.71\00:07:50.61
But the children of
Israel walked upon dry land
00:07:50.81\00:07:54.55
in the midst of the sea; and
the waters were a wall unto them
00:07:54.65\00:07:58.54
on their right hand and
on their left. Thus the Lord
00:07:58.64\00:08:02.53
saved Israel that day out
of the hand of the Egyptians;
00:08:02.66\00:08:05.61
and Israel saw the Egyptians
dead upon the seashore.
00:08:05.74\00:08:09.65
And Israel saw that great
work which the Lord did upon the
00:08:09.86\00:08:14.04
Egyptians: and the
people feared the Lord,
00:08:14.15\00:08:16.43
and believed the
Lord, and his servant Moses.
00:08:16.63\00:08:20.15
We're continuing with Exodus
00:08:20.35\00:08:22.32
chapter 15.
00:08:22.52\00:08:24.20
Then sang Moses and the
children of Israel this song
00:08:24.50\00:08:28.41
unto the Lord,
and spake, saying,
00:08:28.51\00:08:30.83
I will sing unto the Lord, for
He hath triumphed gloriously;
00:08:30.93\00:08:34.53
the horse and his rider
hath He thrown into the sea.
00:08:34.73\00:08:37.78
The Lord is my
strength and song,
00:08:37.98\00:08:41.26
and He is become my salvation:
00:08:41.46\00:08:43.19
He is my God, and I will
prepare Him an habitation;
00:08:43.30\00:08:46.55
my father's God,
and I will exalt Him.
00:08:46.75\00:08:49.59
The Lord is a man of
war: the Lord is His name.
00:08:49.79\00:08:53.46
Pharaoh's chariots and his
host hath He cast into the sea;
00:08:53.66\00:08:57.46
his chosen captains also
are drowned in the Red Sea.
00:08:57.66\00:09:01.13
The depths have covered them:
00:09:01.33\00:09:03.22
they sank into
the bottom as a stone.
00:09:03.42\00:09:05.70
Thy right hand, O Lord,
has become glorious in power:
00:09:05.90\00:09:09.80
Thy right hand, O Lord,
hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
00:09:10.00\00:09:13.84
And in the greatness of Thine
excellency Thou has overthrown
00:09:14.04\00:09:17.87
them that rose up against Thee;
00:09:17.97\00:09:19.73
Thou sentest forth Thy wrath,
which consumed them as stubble.
00:09:19.93\00:09:24.95
And with the blast of
Thy nostrils the waters were
00:09:25.15\00:09:27.96
gathered together, the
floods stood upright as a heap,
00:09:28.06\00:09:31.70
and the depths were congealed
in the heart of the sea.
00:09:31.80\00:09:34.50
The enemy said, I will
pursue, I will overtake,
00:09:34.70\00:09:38.69
I will divide the spoil; my lust
shall be satisfied upon them;
00:09:38.79\00:09:42.61
I will draw my sword,
my hand shall destroy them.
00:09:42.71\00:09:45.43
Thou didst blow with Thy
wind, the sea covered them:
00:09:45.63\00:09:50.48
they sank as lead
in the mighty waters.
00:09:50.68\00:09:53.43
Who is like unto Thee,
O Lord, among the gods?
00:09:53.63\00:09:56.59
Who is like Thee,
glorious in holiness,
00:09:56.79\00:10:00.02
fearful in
praises, doing wonders?
00:10:00.22\00:10:02.89
Thou stretched out Thy right
hand, the earth swallowed them.
00:10:03.09\00:10:07.48
Thou in Thy mercy
hast led forth the people
00:10:07.68\00:10:11.30
which Thou has redeemed:
00:10:11.40\00:10:13.09
Thou hast guided
them in Thy strength
00:10:13.29\00:10:15.69
unto Thy holy habitation.
00:10:15.79\00:10:17.56
The people shall
hear, and be afraid:
00:10:17.76\00:10:20.12
sorrow shall take hold on
the habitants of Palestina.
00:10:20.32\00:10:24.13
When the dukes of
Edom shall be amazed;
00:10:24.33\00:10:26.62
the mighty men of Moab,
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.06
trembling shall
take hold upon them;
00:10:28.17\00:10:30.30
all the inhabitants of
Canaan shall melt away.
00:10:30.50\00:10:33.49
Fear and dread
shall fall upon them;
00:10:33.69\00:10:36.76
by the greatness of Thine arm
00:10:36.96\00:10:38.48
they shall be as
still as a stone;
00:10:38.58\00:10:41.30
till Thy people
pass over, O Lord,
00:10:41.50\00:10:43.37
till the people pass
over, which Thou hast purchased.
00:10:43.57\00:10:47.26
Thou shalt bring them in,
00:10:47.46\00:10:48.90
and plant them in the
mountain of Thine inheritance,
00:10:49.10\00:10:51.12
in the place, O Lord, which Thou
has made for Thee to dwell in;
00:10:51.16\00:10:54.77
in the sanctuary, O Lord, which
Thy hands have established.
00:10:54.97\00:10:59.01
The Lord shall
reign for ever and ever.
00:10:59.21\00:11:02.13
For the horse of Pharaoh
went in with his chariots
00:11:02.33\00:11:05.05
and with his
horsemen into the sea,
00:11:05.15\00:11:06.91
and the Lord brought again
the waters of the sea upon them;
00:11:07.11\00:11:11.15
but the children of
Israel went on dry land
00:11:11.35\00:11:15.14
in the midst of the sea.
00:11:15.24\00:11:16.60
And Miriam, the
prophetess, the sister of Aaron,
00:11:16.80\00:11:20.38
took a timbrel in her hand;
00:11:20.58\00:11:22.40
and all the women went
out after her with timbrels
00:11:22.60\00:11:25.96
and with dances. And
Miriam answered them,
00:11:26.06\00:11:28.53
Sing ye to the Lord, for
He hath triumphed gloriously;
00:11:28.73\00:11:32.13
the horse and his rider
hath He thrown into the sea.
00:11:32.33\00:11:35.15
So Moses brought
Israel from the Red Sea,
00:11:35.35\00:11:38.57
and they went out into
the wilderness of Shur;
00:11:38.77\00:11:40.89
and they went three days in the
wilderness, and found no water.
00:11:41.09\00:11:45.31
When they came to Marah, they
could not drink of the waters
00:11:45.51\00:11:49.02
of Marah, for they were bitter:
00:11:49.12\00:11:50.44
and therefore the name
of it was called Marah.
00:11:50.54\00:11:52.52
And the people
murmured against Moses, saying,
00:11:52.72\00:11:55.56
What shall we drink?
00:11:55.67\00:11:56.74
And he cried unto the Lord;
and the Lord showed him a tree,
00:11:57.54\00:12:00.61
which, when he had
cast into the waters,
00:12:00.71\00:12:03.63
the waters were made sweet:
00:12:03.73\00:12:05.35
there he made for them a
statute and an ordinance,
00:12:05.55\00:12:09.00
and there he proved them,
00:12:09.21\00:12:10.50
And said, If thou
wilt diligently hearken
00:12:10.71\00:12:13.98
to the voice of
the Lord thy God,
00:12:14.08\00:12:15.62
and will do that
which is right in His sight,
00:12:15.82\00:12:18.79
and will give ear
to His commandments,
00:12:18.99\00:12:21.25
and keep all His statutes,
00:12:21.46\00:12:22.90
I will put none of
these diseases upon thee,
00:12:23.10\00:12:26.90
which I have
brought upon the Egyptians:
00:12:27.10\00:12:28.91
for I am the Lord
that healeth thee.
00:12:29.11\00:12:32.07
And they came to Elim, where
were twelve wells of water,
00:12:32.27\00:12:36.73
and threescore
and ten palm trees:
00:12:36.83\00:12:39.06
and they encamped
there by the waters.
00:12:39.26\00:12:42.39
Continuing to read
in Exodus chapter 16.
00:12:42.59\00:12:45.65
And this is the
King James version.
00:12:45.75\00:12:47.37
And they took
their journey from Elim,
00:12:48.84\00:12:50.83
and all the congregation
of the children of Israel
00:12:50.93\00:12:53.51
came unto the wilderness of Sin,
00:12:53.61\00:12:55.13
which is between Elim and Sinai,
00:12:55.23\00:12:57.84
on the fifteenth day
of the second month after
00:12:57.94\00:13:00.69
their departing out
of the land of Egypt.
00:13:00.80\00:13:02.59
The whole congregation of
the children of Israel murmured
00:13:02.80\00:13:05.65
against Moses and
Aaron in the wilderness:
00:13:05.75\00:13:07.70
And the children of
Israel said unto them,
00:13:07.90\00:13:09.74
Would to God we had
died by the hand of the Lord
00:13:09.94\00:13:12.16
in the land of Egypt,
when we sat by the flesh pots,
00:13:12.26\00:13:14.77
and when we did
eat bread to the full;
00:13:14.87\00:13:16.45
for you brought us
forth into this wilderness,
00:13:16.65\00:13:18.87
to kill this whole
assembly with hunger.
00:13:19.07\00:13:20.65
Then said the Lord unto
Moses, Behold, I will rain bread
00:13:20.85\00:13:25.90
from heaven for you;
and the people shall go out
00:13:26.00\00:13:28.33
and gather a certain rate every
day, that I may prove them,
00:13:28.43\00:13:32.20
whether they will
walk in My law or no.
00:13:32.31\00:13:35.12
And it shall come to pass,
that on the sixth day they shall
00:13:35.32\00:13:38.00
prepare that which they
bring in; and it shall be twice
00:13:38.10\00:13:40.57
as much as they gather daily.
00:13:40.67\00:13:42.24
And Moses and Aaron said
unto all the children of Israel,
00:13:42.44\00:13:45.74
At even, when ye shall know
that the Lord hath brought you
00:13:45.94\00:13:49.16
out from the land of Egypt:
00:13:49.26\00:13:50.51
And in the morning, then ye
shall see the glory of the Lord;
00:13:50.54\00:13:54.33
for that He heareth your
murmurings against the Lord:
00:13:54.53\00:13:57.81
and what are we, that
ye murmured against us?
00:13:58.02\00:14:00.62
And Moses said, This shall
be, when the Lord shall give you
00:14:00.82\00:14:03.90
in the evening flesh to eat,
00:14:04.00\00:14:05.49
and in the
morning bread to the full;
00:14:05.69\00:14:07.92
for that the Lord heareth
your murmurings which ye murmur
00:14:08.12\00:14:11.13
against Him: and what are we?
00:14:11.23\00:14:13.34
your murmurings are not against
us, but against the Lord.
00:14:13.44\00:14:16.80
And Moses spake unto Aaron,
00:14:17.01\00:14:18.98
Say unto all the congregation
of the children of Israel,
00:14:19.18\00:14:22.24
Come near before the Lord: for
He hath heard your murmurings.
00:14:22.44\00:14:26.99
Thank you for joining with me
to read today the Word of God.
00:14:27.19\00:14:30.33
Until we're together again,
may God bless and keep you.
00:14:30.44\00:14:33.14
Goodbye.
00:14:33.25\00:14:34.25
