Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer and
welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:00:15.90\00:00:18.69
Thank you for joining with me
00:00:18.79\00:00:20.34
again to read the Bible today.
00:00:20.44\00:00:21.71
But before we read,
let's pray together.
00:00:21.81\00:00:23.76
Dear Jesus, thank you so
much that we can come apart
00:00:24.45\00:00:27.29
just this little time and spend
a few minutes in Your Word,
00:00:27.39\00:00:32.08
arming ourselves as
we go through the day
00:00:32.28\00:00:35.13
and go through life to
face... face everything with
00:00:35.23\00:00:39.16
Your precious
promises, with Your wisdom,
00:00:39.27\00:00:42.53
because Your
words truly ARE life.
00:00:42.63\00:00:44.59
Thank you so much
for giving them to us.
00:00:44.69\00:00:46.58
Please send the Holy Spirit
now and be with us as we read.
00:00:46.68\00:00:51.51
We love You so much and
thank you for loving us. Amen.
00:00:51.71\00:00:54.56
We are reading today
from the book of Exodus
00:00:55.67\00:00:58.41
starting in
chapter 22 with verse 10.
00:00:58.61\00:01:01.24
And this is the
King James version.
00:01:01.44\00:01:02.99
If a man deliver unto his
neighbor an ass, or an ox,
00:01:03.19\00:01:07.94
or a sheep, or any beast, to
keep, and it die, or be hurt,
00:01:08.14\00:01:12.76
or driven away,
no one seeing it:
00:01:12.97\00:01:15.24
Then shall an oath of the
Lord be between them both,
00:01:15.44\00:01:18.75
that he hath not put his
hand unto his neighbor's goods;
00:01:18.95\00:01:22.14
and the owner of it
shall accept thereof,
00:01:22.34\00:01:25.03
and he shall not make it good.
00:01:25.23\00:01:26.68
And if it be stolen from
him, he shall make restitution
00:01:26.88\00:01:30.03
unto the owner thereof.
00:01:30.13\00:01:31.60
If it be torn in pieces, then
let him bring it for witness,
00:01:31.80\00:01:35.32
and he shall not make
good that which was torn.
00:01:35.42\00:01:37.96
And if a man borrow aught of
his neighbor, and it be hurt,
00:01:38.16\00:01:41.86
or die, the owner
thereof being not with it,
00:01:41.96\00:01:45.20
he shall surely make it good.
00:01:45.40\00:01:47.23
But if the owner thereof be with
it, he shall not make it good:
00:01:47.43\00:01:51.41
if it be a hired
thing, it came for his hire.
00:01:51.61\00:01:54.61
And if a man entice a
maid that is not betrothed,
00:01:54.81\00:01:58.51
and lie with her, he shall
surely endow her to be his wife.
00:01:58.71\00:02:01.83
If her father utterly
refuse to give her unto him,
00:02:02.04\00:02:05.35
he shall pay money according
to the dowry of virgins.
00:02:05.45\00:02:08.24
Thou shalt not
suffer a witch to live.
00:02:08.44\00:02:11.46
Whosoever lieth with a beast
shall surely be put to death.
00:02:11.66\00:02:15.37
He that sacrificeth unto
any god, save to the Lord only,
00:02:15.57\00:02:20.05
he shall be utterly destroyed.
00:02:20.26\00:02:22.61
Thou shalt neither vex a
stranger, nor oppress him:
00:02:22.81\00:02:26.42
for ye were
strangers in the land of Egypt.
00:02:26.62\00:02:28.90
Ye shall not afflict any
widow, or fatherless child.
00:02:29.10\00:02:32.93
If thou afflict them in
any wise, and they cry at all
00:02:33.13\00:02:36.79
unto me, I will
surely hear their cry;
00:02:36.89\00:02:40.09
And my wrath shall wax hot, and
I will kill you with the sword;
00:02:40.29\00:02:43.99
and your wives shall be widows,
and your children fatherless.
00:02:44.09\00:02:47.47
If thou lend money to any of
my people that is poor by thee,
00:02:47.67\00:02:52.84
thou shalt not be
to him as a userer,
00:02:53.04\00:02:56.75
neither shalt thou
lay upon him usury.
00:02:56.95\00:02:59.96
If thou at all take thy
neighbor's raiment to pledge,
00:03:00.16\00:03:03.60
thou shalt deliver it unto
him by that the sun goeth down:
00:03:03.80\00:03:07.60
For that is his covering only,
it is his raiment for his skin:
00:03:07.80\00:03:11.31
wherein shall he sleep?
and it shall come to pass,
00:03:11.51\00:03:14.17
when he crieth unto me, that
I will hear; for I am gracious.
00:03:14.27\00:03:18.68
Thou shalt not revile the gods,
00:03:18.88\00:03:20.88
nor curse the
ruler of thy people.
00:03:21.09\00:03:22.70
Thou shalt not delay to offer
the first of thy ripe fruits,
00:03:22.90\00:03:26.01
and of thy liquors:
the first-born of thy sons
00:03:26.11\00:03:29.04
shalt thou give unto Me.
00:03:29.14\00:03:30.63
Likewise shalt thou do with
thine oxen, and with thy sheep:
00:03:30.83\00:03:34.52
seven days it
shall be with his dam;
00:03:34.72\00:03:36.82
on the eighth day
thou shalt give it to Me.
00:03:37.02\00:03:39.02
And you shall be
holy men unto me:
00:03:39.26\00:03:41.27
neither shall ye eat of any
flesh that is torn of beasts
00:03:41.48\00:03:44.52
in the field; ye
shall cast it to the dogs.
00:03:44.62\00:03:47.75
Again, we are reading
in the book of Exodus,
00:03:48.05\00:03:50.64
and starting with chapter 23.
00:03:50.84\00:03:52.94
And this is the
King James version.
00:03:53.04\00:03:55.10
Thou shalt not raise a
false report: put not thine hand
00:03:55.13\00:04:00.63
with the wicked to be
an unrighteous witness.
00:04:00.79\00:04:03.42
Thou shalt not follow
a multitude to do evil;
00:04:03.65\00:04:06.84
neither shalt thou speak in
a cause to decline after many
00:04:07.04\00:04:10.33
to wrest judgment:
00:04:10.43\00:04:11.75
Neither shalt thou countenance
a poor man in his cause.
00:04:11.95\00:04:15.32
If thou meet thine enemy's
ox or his ass going astray,
00:04:15.52\00:04:20.24
thou shalt surely
bring it back to him again.
00:04:20.44\00:04:23.34
If thou see the ass
of him that hateth thee
00:04:23.54\00:04:26.64
lying under his burden, and
wouldest forbear to help him,
00:04:26.74\00:04:29.87
thou shalt surely help with him.
00:04:30.07\00:04:32.40
Thou shalt not wrest
the judgment of thy poor
00:04:32.60\00:04:35.85
in his cause. Keep thee
far from a false matter;
00:04:35.95\00:04:40.92
and the innocent and
the righteous slay thou not:
00:04:41.12\00:04:44.94
for I will not
justify the wicked.
00:04:45.14\00:04:47.14
And thou shalt take no gift:
for the gift blindeth the wise,
00:04:47.34\00:04:51.89
and perverteth the
words of the righteous.
00:04:51.99\00:04:54.10
Also, thou shalt
not oppress a stranger:
00:04:54.30\00:04:57.12
for ye know the heart of
a stranger, seeing ye were
00:04:57.22\00:05:00.11
strangers in the land of Egypt.
00:05:00.21\00:05:02.27
And six years thou
shalt sow thy land,
00:05:02.57\00:05:06.36
and shall gather
in the fruits thereof:
00:05:06.46\00:05:08.15
But the seventh year thou
shalt let it rest and lie still;
00:05:08.35\00:05:12.06
that the poor of
thy people may eat;
00:05:12.26\00:05:14.91
and what they leave the
beasts of the field shall eat.
00:05:15.11\00:05:18.23
In like manner thou
shalt deal with thy vineyard,
00:05:18.44\00:05:20.80
and with thy olive yard.
00:05:21.00\00:05:22.24
Six days thou shalt do thy
work, and on the seventh day
00:05:22.44\00:05:25.61
thou shalt rest: that
thine ox and thine ass may rest,
00:05:25.71\00:05:29.28
and the son of thy handmaid, and
the stranger, may be refreshed.
00:05:29.39\00:05:32.49
And in all things that I have
said unto you be circumspect:
00:05:32.69\00:05:37.54
and make no mention of
the name of other gods,
00:05:37.74\00:05:39.84
neither let it be
heard out of thy mouth.
00:05:40.04\00:05:42.58
Three times thou shalt keep a
00:05:42.78\00:05:45.37
feast unto Me in the year.
00:05:45.51\00:05:48.11
Thou shalt keep the feast of
00:05:48.21\00:05:49.49
unleavened bread:
00:05:49.69\00:05:50.66
(thou shalt eat unleavened bread
seven days, as I commanded thee,
00:05:50.85\00:05:54.62
in the time
appointed of the month Abib;
00:05:54.72\00:05:56.89
for in it thou
camest out from Egypt:
00:05:57.09\00:05:58.98
and none shall
appear before me empty:)
00:05:59.18\00:06:01.49
And the feast of harvest,
the first fruits of thy labors,
00:06:01.69\00:06:05.56
which thou has
sown in the field:
00:06:05.66\00:06:07.29
and the feast of ingathering,
which is in the end of the year,
00:06:07.49\00:06:11.01
when thou has gathered in
thy labors out of the field.
00:06:11.21\00:06:14.62
Three times in the year
all thy males shall appear
00:06:14.82\00:06:18.60
before the Lord God.
00:06:18.70\00:06:20.18
Thou shalt not offer
the blood of My sacrifice
00:06:20.48\00:06:24.33
with leavened bread; neither
shall the fat of My sacrifice
00:06:24.44\00:06:28.46
remain until the morning.
00:06:28.56\00:06:30.86
The first of the first fruits
of thy land thou shalt bring
00:06:31.06\00:06:34.01
into the house of the Lord
thy God. Thou shalt not seethe
00:06:34.11\00:06:37.88
a kid in his mother's milk.
00:06:37.98\00:06:39.98
Behold, I send an
angel before thee,
00:06:40.18\00:06:43.35
to keep thee in the way,
and to bring thee into the place
00:06:43.45\00:06:46.53
which I have prepared.
00:06:46.63\00:06:48.11
Beware of him, and obey
his voice, provoke him not;
00:06:48.32\00:06:52.46
for he will not
pardon your transgressions;
00:06:52.66\00:06:55.25
for My name is in him.
00:06:55.45\00:06:57.31
But if thou shalt
indeed obey his voice,
00:06:57.34\00:07:01.37
and do all that I speak;
00:07:01.57\00:07:03.99
then I will be an
enemy unto thine enemies,
00:07:04.19\00:07:07.33
and an adversary
unto thine adversaries.
00:07:07.53\00:07:10.21
For mine angel shall go
before thee, and bring thee in
00:07:10.41\00:07:14.24
unto the Amorites, and the
Hittites, and the Perizzites,
00:07:14.34\00:07:17.54
and the Canaanites, the
Hivites, and the Jebusites:
00:07:17.64\00:07:20.15
and I will cut them off.
00:07:20.35\00:07:22.21
Thou shalt not bow down to
their gods, nor serve them,
00:07:22.41\00:07:25.69
nor do after their works:
00:07:25.90\00:07:27.77
but thou shalt
utterly overthrow them,
00:07:27.97\00:07:30.63
and quite break
down their images.
00:07:30.83\00:07:33.64
And you shall
serve the Lord your God,
00:07:33.94\00:07:36.79
and He shall bless
thy bread, and thy water;
00:07:36.99\00:07:39.29
and I will take sickness
away from the midst of thee.
00:07:39.49\00:07:42.91
There shall nothing cast
their young, nor be barren,
00:07:43.11\00:07:46.59
in thy land: the number
of thy days I will fulfill.
00:07:46.69\00:07:50.42
I will send My fear before thee,
and will destroy all the people
00:07:50.62\00:07:54.66
to whom thou shalt come, and
I will make all thine enemies
00:07:54.77\00:07:57.32
turn their backs unto thee.
00:07:57.52\00:07:59.40
And I will send
hornets before thee,
00:07:59.60\00:08:02.05
which shall drive out
the Hivite, the Canaanite,
00:08:02.26\00:08:04.34
and the Hittite,
from before thee.
00:08:04.44\00:08:06.03
I will not drive them out
from before thee in one year;
00:08:06.23\00:08:09.64
lest the land become desolate,
00:08:09.84\00:08:11.51
and the beast of the
field multiply against thee.
00:08:11.61\00:08:13.65
By little and little I will
drive them out from before thee,
00:08:13.85\00:08:17.40
until thou be
increased, and inherit the land.
00:08:17.60\00:08:21.32
And I will set thy bounds from
the Red Sea even unto the sea
00:08:21.52\00:08:24.77
of the Philistines, and
from the desert unto the river:
00:08:24.87\00:08:27.24
for I will deliver the
inhabitants of the land
00:08:27.45\00:08:29.85
into your hand; and thou shalt
drive them out before thee.
00:08:29.96\00:08:33.58
Thou shalt make no covenant
with them, nor with their gods.
00:08:33.78\00:08:37.37
They shall not dwell in thy
land, lest they make thee sin
00:08:37.57\00:08:40.93
against Me: for if
thou serve their gods,
00:08:41.03\00:08:44.00
it will surely be
a snare unto thee.
00:08:44.10\00:08:47.31
Continuing to read
in the book of Exodus
00:08:47.51\00:08:49.88
with chapter 24. And this
is the King James version.
00:08:50.08\00:08:52.90
And he said unto
Moses, Come up unto the Lord,
00:08:53.10\00:08:57.83
thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and
Abihu, and seventy of the elders
00:08:57.93\00:09:01.43
of Israel; and
worship ye afar off.
00:09:01.53\00:09:04.37
And Moses alone
shall come near the Lord:
00:09:04.58\00:09:06.96
but they shall not come nigh;
00:09:07.16\00:09:08.52
neither shall the
people go up with him.
00:09:08.72\00:09:10.37
And Moses came and told the
people all the words of the Lord
00:09:10.57\00:09:14.01
and all the judgments:
and all the people answered
00:09:14.11\00:09:16.97
with one voice, and said,
All the words which the Lord
00:09:17.07\00:09:20.80
hath said will we do.
00:09:20.90\00:09:23.16
And Moses wrote all
the words of the Lord,
00:09:23.36\00:09:25.96
and rose up early in the
morning, and builded an altar
00:09:26.06\00:09:29.29
under the hill,
and twelve pillars,
00:09:29.40\00:09:31.72
according to the
twelve tribes of Israel.
00:09:31.92\00:09:33.97
And he sent young men
of the children of Israel,
00:09:34.17\00:09:36.24
which offered burnt offerings,
and sacrificed peace offerings
00:09:36.34\00:09:39.29
of oxen unto the Lord. And
Moses took half of the blood,
00:09:39.39\00:09:42.05
and put it in
basins; and half of the blood
00:09:42.15\00:09:44.09
he sprinkled on the altar.
00:09:44.19\00:09:45.32
And he took the book
of the covenant, and read
00:09:45.52\00:09:48.11
in the audience of
the people: and they said,
00:09:48.21\00:09:50.48
All that the Lord hath said
will we do, and be obedient.
00:09:50.68\00:09:54.80
And Moses took the blood,
and sprinkled it on the people,
00:09:55.00\00:09:58.30
and said, Behold the
blood of the covenant,
00:09:58.33\00:10:01.76
which the Lord hath made with
you concerning all these words.
00:10:01.86\00:10:06.19
Then went up Moses, and
Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu,
00:10:06.39\00:10:09.83
and seventy of
the elders of Isarel:
00:10:09.93\00:10:11.76
And they saw the God of Israel:
and there was under His feet
00:10:11.96\00:10:16.12
as it were a paved
work of a sapphire stone,
00:10:16.22\00:10:20.38
and as it were the body
of heaven in His clearness.
00:10:20.58\00:10:24.04
And upon the nobles
of the children of Israel
00:10:24.24\00:10:27.50
He laid not His hand:
00:10:27.60\00:10:28.87
also they saw God,
and did eat and drink.
00:10:29.07\00:10:32.37
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Come up to Me into the mount,
00:10:32.57\00:10:35.65
and be there: and I will
give thee tables of stone,
00:10:35.75\00:10:38.89
and a law, and commandments
which I have written;
00:10:39.09\00:10:41.88
that thou mayest teach them.
00:10:41.98\00:10:44.28
And Moses rose up,
and his minister Joshua:
00:10:44.48\00:10:47.60
and Moses went up
into the mount of God.
00:10:47.70\00:10:49.79
And he said unto the
elders, Tarry ye here for us,
00:10:49.99\00:10:52.96
until we come again unto
you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur
00:10:53.06\00:10:56.28
are with you: if any
man have any matters to do,
00:10:56.38\00:10:59.06
let him come unto them.
00:10:59.16\00:11:00.42
And Moses went
up into the mount,
00:11:00.62\00:11:02.92
and a cloud covered the mount.
00:11:03.12\00:11:04.61
And the glory of the
Lord abode upon mount Sinai,
00:11:04.81\00:11:08.18
and the cloud
covered it six days:
00:11:08.28\00:11:10.67
and the seventh day
He called unto Moses
00:11:10.87\00:11:12.80
out of the midst of the cloud.
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.30
And the sight of the glory of
the Lord was like devouring fire
00:11:14.50\00:11:19.35
on the top of the mount in the
eyes of the children of Israel.
00:11:19.45\00:11:22.42
And Moses went into
the midst of the cloud,
00:11:22.62\00:11:25.35
and gat him up into the mount:
00:11:25.55\00:11:27.18
and Moses was in the mount
forty days and forty nights.
00:11:27.38\00:11:31.50
We're continuing to
read in the book of Exodus,
00:11:31.70\00:11:33.90
and this is chapter 25.
00:11:34.10\00:11:35.51
And the Lord spake
unto Moses, saying,
00:11:35.71\00:11:38.80
Speak unto the children
of Israel, that they bring Me
00:11:39.00\00:11:41.34
an offering: of every
man that giveth it willingly
00:11:41.44\00:11:44.79
with his heart ye
shall take My offering.
00:11:44.89\00:11:47.26
And this is the offering
which ye shall take of them;
00:11:47.46\00:11:49.76
gold, and silver, and brass, and
blue, and purple, and scarlet,
00:11:49.97\00:11:54.40
and fine linen, and goats'
hair, and rams' skins dyed red,
00:11:54.60\00:11:58.48
and badgers'
skins, and shittim wood,
00:11:58.68\00:12:01.03
Oil for the light,
spices for anointing oil,
00:12:01.23\00:12:04.23
and for sweet incense.
00:12:04.33\00:12:05.62
Onyx stones, and
stones to be set in the ephod,
00:12:05.82\00:12:08.63
and in the breastplate.
00:12:08.73\00:12:09.85
And let them make Me a sanctuary
that I may dwell among them.
00:12:10.05\00:12:14.79
According to all that I show
thee, after the pattern of the
00:12:14.99\00:12:18.51
tabernacle, and the pattern
of all the instruments thereof,
00:12:18.61\00:12:22.22
even so shall ye make it.
00:12:22.32\00:12:24.37
And they shall make
an ark of shittim wood:
00:12:24.57\00:12:27.29
two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof,
00:12:27.49\00:12:30.48
and a cubit and a
half the breadth thereof,
00:12:30.68\00:12:33.25
and a cubit and a
half the height thereof.
00:12:33.35\00:12:35.60
And thou shalt
overlay it with pure gold,
00:12:35.80\00:12:38.81
within and without
shalt thou overlay it,
00:12:39.01\00:12:41.72
and shall make upon it a
crown of gold around about.
00:12:41.92\00:12:45.71
And thou shalt cast
four rings of gold for it,
00:12:45.91\00:12:48.51
and put them in the
four corners thereof;
00:12:48.71\00:12:50.76
and two rings shall
be in the one side of it,
00:12:50.86\00:12:53.37
and two rings in
the other side of it.
00:12:53.47\00:12:55.57
And thou shalt make
staves of shittim wood,
00:12:55.77\00:12:58.69
and overlay them with gold.
00:12:58.79\00:13:00.21
And thou shalt put the staves
into the rings by the sides
00:13:00.24\00:13:03.41
of the ark, that the
ark may be borne with them.
00:13:03.51\00:13:06.83
The staves shall be
in the rings of the ark:
00:13:07.03\00:13:08.96
they shall not be taken from it.
00:13:09.07\00:13:11.21
And thou shalt put into the ark
00:13:11.41\00:13:13.35
the testimony
which I shall give thee.
00:13:13.45\00:13:15.39
And thou shalt make a
mercy seat of pure gold:
00:13:15.59\00:13:19.44
two cubits and a half
shall be the length thereof,
00:13:19.64\00:13:22.44
and a cubit and a
half the breadth thereof.
00:13:22.64\00:13:24.73
And thou shalt make
two cherubim's of gold,
00:13:24.93\00:13:27.67
of beaten work
shalt thou make them,
00:13:27.87\00:13:29.88
in the two ends
of the mercy seat.
00:13:30.08\00:13:31.81
And make one
cherub on the one end,
00:13:32.01\00:13:34.62
and the other
cherub on the other end:
00:13:34.82\00:13:36.15
even of the mercy seat
shall ye make the cherubim's
00:13:36.36\00:13:39.27
on the two ends thereof.
00:13:39.37\00:13:40.85
And the cherubim's shall stretch
forth their wings on high,
00:13:41.05\00:13:44.52
covering the mercy
seat with their wings,
00:13:44.72\00:13:47.32
and their faces
shall look one to another;
00:13:47.52\00:13:49.85
toward the mercy seat shall
the faces of the cherubim's be.
00:13:50.05\00:13:53.42
And thou shalt put the mercy
seat upon the ark; and in the
00:13:53.63\00:13:58.43
ark thou shalt put the testimony
that I shall give thee.
00:13:58.57\00:14:01.87
And there I will meet with thee,
and I will commune with thee
00:14:02.07\00:14:06.10
from above the mercy seat,
from between the two cherubim's
00:14:06.20\00:14:10.07
which are upon the
ark of the testimony,
00:14:10.17\00:14:11.74
of all things which I
will give thee in commandment
00:14:11.94\00:14:15.64
unto the children of Israel.
00:14:15.74\00:14:17.83
Thank you for joining with me
today to read the Word of God.
00:14:18.03\00:14:21.47
And as we leave this
time together and go off
00:14:21.77\00:14:25.54
into our lives and into service
to each other and service
00:14:25.64\00:14:29.34
to God, I pray that the
words here will stay with us
00:14:29.44\00:14:32.91
and that we will commune with
God always at the seat of mercy
00:14:33.11\00:14:35.79
and the grace that He has given
according to each of our lives.
00:14:35.89\00:14:38.76
Until next time,
thank you and goodbye.
