Hi and welcome back
to His Words Are Life.
00:00:15.58\00:00:17.63
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and thank you
00:00:17.66\00:00:19.49
for joining with me today to...
00:00:19.69\00:00:21.17
to read the
Word of God together.
00:00:21.31\00:00:22.90
When we were last
together we were reading about
00:00:23.10\00:00:24.91
Moses and the Israelites camped
at the desert by mount Sinai
00:00:25.01\00:00:29.50
and receiving all the words
of the Lord and coming together
00:00:29.60\00:00:32.70
and saying with one
voice "All that God commands us
00:00:32.83\00:00:35.03
we will do. " Then
Moses goes up into the mount
00:00:35.13\00:00:38.11
and he's gone out of their
sight for just a little while
00:00:38.21\00:00:40.86
and they forget
everything they've been told
00:00:40.96\00:00:43.41
or they turn their
back on it at least.
00:00:43.51\00:00:44.88
And then they forget their
vow to obey all that God has
00:00:44.98\00:00:48.00
commanded and they
worship the golden calf.
00:00:48.11\00:00:50.08
And Moses comes
down off the mountain
00:00:50.28\00:00:53.05
and he is very angry.
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.31
And he says: "Who
is on the Lord's side?
00:00:55.41\00:00:57.52
Let them come to me. "
00:00:57.72\00:00:58.75
That's where we're going
to pick up the story today.
00:00:58.95\00:01:00.20
And the Levites
come and stand by Moses.
00:01:00.30\00:01:02.53
Before we begin to
read, let's pray together.
00:01:02.73\00:01:04.82
Dear Lord, so
many times in my life
00:01:05.02\00:01:08.65
and in all of our
lives the desire to serve You
00:01:08.75\00:01:13.65
has been there but then it
has faded away or it has been
00:01:13.75\00:01:16.64
dimmed in some way.
Maybe the things that we see
00:01:16.75\00:01:21.62
don't look very promising.
We get scared, and we forget
00:01:21.73\00:01:25.39
our promise to faithfully
obey what You have shown us.
00:01:25.53\00:01:30.01
Please let us learn
today as we read the story
00:01:30.21\00:01:33.41
of the Israelites all
these hundreds of years ago
00:01:33.51\00:01:36.35
and how they turned on You.
And fix in our hearts a desire
00:01:36.45\00:01:41.37
to... to stay close to
You. Help us to both will and do
00:01:41.47\00:01:45.52
Your good pleasure. And now
send Your Holy Spirit to bring
00:01:45.62\00:01:48.24
a special understanding
as we read Your Word.
00:01:48.34\00:01:50.29
We love You, and thank
you for loving us. Amen.
00:01:50.49\00:01:53.15
We are picking up
Exodus, and we are in chapter 32
00:01:53.35\00:01:57.73
and starting with verse 27.
00:01:57.83\00:02:00.32
Again, the Levites have just
come to Moses as he has said
00:02:00.52\00:02:03.61
"Who is on the Lord's side?
Let them come and stand by me. "
00:02:03.71\00:02:05.99
And he said unto them, Thus
saith the Lord God of Israel,
00:02:06.19\00:02:10.35
Put every man his sword by
his side, and go in and out
00:02:10.55\00:02:14.27
from gate to gate throughout
the camp, and slay every man
00:02:14.37\00:02:18.93
his brother, and every man
his companion, and every man
00:02:19.03\00:02:21.51
his neighbor. And the children
of Levi did according to the
00:02:21.61\00:02:25.76
word of Moses: and there
fell of the people that day
00:02:25.86\00:02:29.32
about three thousand men.
00:02:29.42\00:02:30.93
For Moses had said, Consecrate
yourselves today to the Lord,
00:02:31.13\00:02:34.90
even every man upon his
son, and upon his brother;
00:02:35.10\00:02:37.89
that He may bestow upon
you a blessing this day.
00:02:38.09\00:02:41.06
And it came to pass on the
morrow, that Moses said unto the
00:02:41.36\00:02:45.14
people, You have sinned a
great sin: and now I will go up
00:02:45.24\00:02:50.36
unto the Lord; peradventure
I shall make an atonement
00:02:50.46\00:02:53.51
for your sin. And Moses returned
unto the Lord, and said,
00:02:53.61\00:02:57.90
Oh, this people
have sinned a great sin,
00:02:58.00\00:03:00.63
and have made them gods of gold.
00:03:00.83\00:03:03.55
Yet now, if Thou wilt
forgive their sin; and if not,
00:03:03.75\00:03:09.44
blot me, I pray Thee, out of
Thy book which Thou has written.
00:03:09.54\00:03:13.52
And the Lord said unto
Moses, whosoever hath sinned
00:03:13.82\00:03:17.72
against Me, him will
I blot out of My book.
00:03:17.83\00:03:20.76
Therefore now go, lead the
people unto the place of which
00:03:20.96\00:03:26.13
I have spoken unto thee:
behold, mine angel shall go
00:03:26.23\00:03:30.78
before thee: nevertheless,
in the day when I visit
00:03:30.88\00:03:34.20
I will visit
their sin upon them.
00:03:34.30\00:03:36.57
And the Lord plagued the people,
because they made the calf,
00:03:36.77\00:03:40.78
which Aaron made.
00:03:40.88\00:03:42.95
Continuing to read
in the book of Exodus.
00:03:43.15\00:03:45.71
This is chapter 33. This
is the King James version.
00:03:45.92\00:03:48.62
And the Lord said unto
Moses, Depart, and go up hence,
00:03:48.82\00:03:52.80
thou and the people which thou
has brought up out of the land
00:03:52.90\00:03:55.42
of Egypt, unto the land
which I sware unto Abraham,
00:03:55.52\00:03:58.64
to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying,
Unto thy seed will I give it:
00:03:58.74\00:04:01.78
And I will send an angel before
thee; and I will drive out the
00:04:01.98\00:04:05.11
Canaanite, the Amorite,
the Hittite, and the Perizzite,
00:04:05.21\00:04:07.98
and the Hivite,
and the Jebusite:
00:04:08.08\00:04:09.29
Unto a land flowing
with milk and honey:
00:04:09.50\00:04:12.39
for I will not go up
in the midst of thee:
00:04:12.49\00:04:14.97
for thou art a stiffnecked
people: lest I consume thee
00:04:15.07\00:04:18.41
in the way. And when the
people heard these evil tidings,
00:04:18.51\00:04:22.63
they mourned: and no man
did put on him his ornaments.
00:04:22.73\00:04:26.63
For the Lord had said unto
Moses, Say unto the children of
00:04:26.83\00:04:29.11
Israel, You are a stiffnecked
people: I will come up into the
00:04:29.21\00:04:32.35
midst of thee in a
moment, and consume thee:
00:04:32.45\00:04:34.31
therefore now put off
thy ornaments from thee,
00:04:34.52\00:04:37.62
that I may know
what to do unto thee.
00:04:37.72\00:04:39.60
And the children of Israel
stripped themselves of their
00:04:39.80\00:04:42.46
ornaments by the mount Horeb.
00:04:42.57\00:04:43.94
And Moses took the tabernacle,
and pitched it without the camp,
00:04:44.15\00:04:47.45
afar off from the camp, and
called it the tabernacle of the
00:04:47.55\00:04:50.90
congregation. And it came
to pass, that every one which
00:04:51.00\00:04:54.08
sought the Lord went out
unto the tabernacle of the
00:04:54.18\00:04:57.02
congregation, which
was without the camp.
00:04:57.12\00:04:58.92
And it came to pass, when Moses
went out unto the tabernacle,
00:04:59.12\00:05:01.83
that all the people rose up,
and stood every man at his tent
00:05:02.03\00:05:04.75
door, and looked after Moses,
until he was gone into the
00:05:04.85\00:05:08.15
tabernacle. And it came to
pass, as Moses entered into the
00:05:08.25\00:05:12.44
tabernacle, the cloudy
pillar descended, and stood at
00:05:12.54\00:05:15.87
the door of the tabernacle,
and the Lord talked with Moses.
00:05:15.97\00:05:19.68
And all the people saw
the cloudy pillar stand at the
00:05:19.88\00:05:23.45
tabernacle door: and all the
people rose up and worshiped,
00:05:23.55\00:05:26.37
every man in his tent door.
00:05:26.47\00:05:28.83
And the Lord spake
unto Moses face to face,
00:05:29.04\00:05:32.37
as a man
speaketh unto his friend.
00:05:32.57\00:05:35.06
And he turned again into the
camp: but his servant Joshua,
00:05:35.26\00:05:39.34
the son of Nun, a young
man, departed not out of the
00:05:39.44\00:05:43.10
tabernacle. And
Moses said unto the Lord,
00:05:43.20\00:05:46.78
See, Thou sayest unto
me, Bring up this people:
00:05:46.98\00:05:50.12
and Thou has not let me know
whom Thou wilt send with me.
00:05:50.15\00:05:53.13
Yet Thou has said,
I know thee by name,
00:05:53.34\00:05:55.84
and thou hast also
found grace in My sight.
00:05:56.04\00:05:58.81
Now, therefore, I pray Thee,
if I have found grace in Thy
00:06:00.50\00:06:04.42
sight, show me now Thy
way, that I may know Thee,
00:06:04.52\00:06:07.57
that I may find grace
in Thy sight: and consider
00:06:07.67\00:06:11.00
that this nation is Thy people.
00:06:11.10\00:06:12.92
And He said, My
presence shall go with thee,
00:06:13.12\00:06:17.60
and I will give thee rest.
00:06:17.70\00:06:19.63
And he said unto Him, If
Thy presence go not with me,
00:06:19.83\00:06:23.67
carry us not up hence.
00:06:23.77\00:06:25.46
For wherein shall it be
known here that I and Thy people
00:06:25.66\00:06:28.96
have found grace in Thy sight?
is it not in that Thou goest
00:06:29.06\00:06:32.20
with us? so shall we be
separated, I and Thy people,
00:06:32.30\00:06:36.59
from all the people that
are upon the face of the earth.
00:06:36.69\00:06:39.39
And the Lord said unto
Moses, I will do this thing also
00:06:39.59\00:06:42.51
that thou has spoken:
for thou has found grace
00:06:42.61\00:06:45.90
in my sight, and
I know thee by name.
00:06:46.00\00:06:49.47
And he said, I beseech
Thee, show me Thy glory.
00:06:49.67\00:06:54.28
And He said, I will make all
My goodness pass before thee,
00:06:54.49\00:06:59.52
and I will proclaim the
name of the Lord before thee;
00:06:59.63\00:07:01.95
and will be gracious to
whom I will be gracious,
00:07:02.05\00:07:04.36
and will show mercy on
whom I will show mercy.
00:07:04.56\00:07:07.17
And He said, Thou
canst not see My face:
00:07:07.37\00:07:10.74
for there shall no
man see me, and live.
00:07:10.94\00:07:13.34
And the Lord said,
Behold, there is a place by Me,
00:07:13.54\00:07:17.76
and thou shalt
stand upon a rock:
00:07:17.86\00:07:19.52
And it shall come to
pass, while My glory passes by,
00:07:19.72\00:07:22.97
that I will put thee
in a clift of the rock,
00:07:23.17\00:07:25.89
and will cover thee
with My hand while I pass by:
00:07:25.99\00:07:28.69
And I will take away
mine hand, and thou shalt see
00:07:28.89\00:07:31.27
my back parts: but My
face shall not be seen.
00:07:31.37\00:07:35.54
We are continuing to
read in the book of Exodus
00:07:35.74\00:07:38.08
chapter 34. And this
is the King James version.
00:07:38.18\00:07:41.60
And the Lord said unto Moses,
Hew thee two tables of stone
00:07:41.80\00:07:46.09
like unto the first: and I
will write upon these tables
00:07:46.19\00:07:49.64
the words that were in the first
tables, which thou breakest.
00:07:49.74\00:07:52.16
And be ready in the morning,
00:07:52.36\00:07:53.91
and come up in the
morning unto mount Sinai,
00:07:54.11\00:07:56.31
and present thyself there
to Me in the top of the mount.
00:07:56.41\00:07:59.38
And no man shall
come up with thee,
00:07:59.48\00:08:01.07
neither let any man be
seen throughout all the mount;
00:08:01.18\00:08:04.12
neither let the flocks nor
herds feed before that mount.
00:08:04.22\00:08:07.46
And he hewed two tables
of stone like unto the first;
00:08:07.66\00:08:11.73
and Moses rose up
early in the morning,
00:08:11.83\00:08:13.80
and went up unto mount Sinai
as the Lord had commanded him,
00:08:13.94\00:08:17.42
and took in his hand
the two tables of stone.
00:08:17.62\00:08:20.70
And the Lord descended in the
cloud, and stood with him there,
00:08:20.80\00:08:24.50
and proclaimed
the name of the Lord.
00:08:24.60\00:08:26.43
And the Lord passed by
before him, and proclaimed,
00:08:26.64\00:08:29.97
The Lord, The Lord
God, merciful and gracious,
00:08:30.17\00:08:34.25
long-suffering, and
abundant in goodness and truth,
00:08:34.46\00:08:37.95
Keeping mercy for thousands,
forgiving iniquity and
00:08:38.15\00:08:41.28
transgression and sin,
and that will by no means
00:08:41.38\00:08:44.97
clear the guilty; visiting
the iniquity of the fathers
00:08:45.07\00:08:48.30
upon the children, and
upon the children's children,
00:08:48.40\00:08:50.31
unto the third and to
the fourth generation.
00:08:50.41\00:08:52.47
And Moses made haste, and
bowed his head toward the earth,
00:08:52.67\00:08:56.75
and worshiped. And he
said, If now I have found
00:08:56.85\00:09:02.78
grace in Thy sight, O
Lord, let my Lord, I pray Thee,
00:09:02.88\00:09:06.19
go among us; for it
is a stiffnecked people;
00:09:06.29\00:09:09.41
and pardon our
iniquity and our sin,
00:09:09.61\00:09:11.91
and take us for
thine inheritance.
00:09:12.02\00:09:14.14
And He said,
Behold, I make a covenant:
00:09:14.34\00:09:17.81
before all thy people I
will do marvels such as have not
00:09:18.01\00:09:22.10
been done in all the
earth, nor in any nation:
00:09:22.20\00:09:25.13
and all the people among which
thou art shall see the work of
00:09:25.33\00:09:28.81
the Lord: for it is a terrible
thing that I will do with thee.
00:09:28.91\00:09:32.12
Observe thou that which
I command thee this day:
00:09:32.22\00:09:36.46
behold, I drive out before thee
the Amorite, and the Canaanite,
00:09:36.66\00:09:41.21
and the Hittite,
and the Perizzite,
00:09:41.31\00:09:42.62
and the Hivite,
and the Jebusite.
00:09:42.72\00:09:43.99
Take heed to thyself, lest
thou make a covenant with the
00:09:44.19\00:09:47.36
inhabitants of the
land whither thou goest,
00:09:47.46\00:09:49.53
lest it be for a
snare in the midst of thee:
00:09:49.63\00:09:53.34
But ye shall destroy their
altars, break their images,
00:09:53.54\00:09:57.11
and cut down their groves:
00:09:57.21\00:09:58.73
For thou shalt
worship no other god:
00:09:58.93\00:10:01.10
for the Lord, whose name
is Jealous, is a jealous God:
00:10:01.30\00:10:04.52
Lest thou make a covenant with
the inhabitants of the land,
00:10:04.72\00:10:07.71
and they go a whoring after
their gods, and do sacrifice
00:10:07.81\00:10:11.17
unto their gods, and one
call thee, and thou eat of his
00:10:11.27\00:10:13.74
sacrifice; And thou take of
their daughters unto thy sons,
00:10:13.84\00:10:17.18
and their daughters go a
whoring after their gods,
00:10:17.28\00:10:19.53
and make thy sons go a
whoring after their gods.
00:10:19.63\00:10:22.18
Thou shalt make
thee no molten gods.
00:10:22.38\00:10:25.35
The feast of unleavened
bread shalt thou keep.
00:10:25.55\00:10:28.40
Seven days thou
shalt eat unleavened bread,
00:10:28.60\00:10:31.59
as I commanded thee, in
the time of the month Abib:
00:10:31.69\00:10:34.42
for in the month Abib
thou camest out from Egypt.
00:10:34.52\00:10:36.95
All that openeth
the matrix is mine;
00:10:37.15\00:10:39.72
and every firstling among
thy cattle, whether ox or sheep,
00:10:39.82\00:10:43.18
that is male. But the firstling
of an ass thou shalt redeem
00:10:43.28\00:10:46.42
with a lamb: and if thou redeem
him not, then thou shalt break
00:10:46.53\00:10:48.80
his neck. All the first-born
of thy sons thou shalt redeem.
00:10:48.90\00:10:53.24
And none shall
appear before Me empty.
00:10:53.45\00:10:56.09
Six days thou shalt work,
00:10:56.29\00:10:59.19
but on the seventh
day thou shalt rest;
00:10:59.39\00:11:01.46
in earing time and in
harvest thou shalt rest.
00:11:01.66\00:11:05.06
And thou shalt
observe the feast of weeks,
00:11:05.26\00:11:08.05
of the first
fruits of wheat harvest,
00:11:08.15\00:11:10.18
and the feast of
ingathering at the year's end.
00:11:10.28\00:11:12.49
Thrice in the year shall
all your men children appear
00:11:12.69\00:11:16.14
before the Lord
God, the God of Israel.
00:11:16.24\00:11:18.10
For I will cast out
the nations before thee,
00:11:18.31\00:11:21.06
and enlarge thy borders: neither
shall any man desire thy land,
00:11:21.16\00:11:25.42
when thou shalt go up to
appear before the Lord thy God
00:11:25.62\00:11:28.70
thrice in the year. Thou
shalt not offer the blood of my
00:11:28.80\00:11:31.87
sacrifice with leaven; neither
shall the sacrifice of the feast
00:11:31.97\00:11:34.81
of the Passover be
left unto the morning.
00:11:34.91\00:11:36.72
The first of the first fruits
of thy land thou shalt bring
00:11:36.93\00:11:40.42
unto the house
of the Lord thy God.
00:11:40.52\00:11:42.23
Thou shalt not seethe a
kid in his mother's milk.
00:11:42.43\00:11:45.70
And the Lord said unto
Moses, Write thou these words:
00:11:45.90\00:11:49.84
for after the tenor of these
words I have made a covenant
00:11:50.04\00:11:53.11
with thee and with Israel.
00:11:53.21\00:11:55.11
And he was there with the Lord
forty days and forty nights;
00:11:55.31\00:11:59.19
he did neither eat
bread, nor drink water.
00:11:59.39\00:12:01.38
And he wrote upon the tables
the words of the covenant,
00:12:01.58\00:12:04.78
the Ten Commandments.
00:12:04.88\00:12:06.26
And it came to pass, when
Moses came down from mount Sinai
00:12:06.46\00:12:10.12
with the two tables of
testimony in Moses' hand,
00:12:10.22\00:12:12.63
when he came down from
the mount, that Moses wist not
00:12:12.83\00:12:16.43
that the skin of his face
shone while he talked with him.
00:12:16.53\00:12:20.40
And when Aaron and all the
children of Israel saw Moses,
00:12:20.60\00:12:24.51
behold, the skin of his
face shone; and they were
00:12:24.61\00:12:26.57
afraid to come nigh him.
00:12:26.67\00:12:27.77
And Moses called unto them;
and Aaron and all the rulers
00:12:27.97\00:12:30.59
of the
congregation returned unto him:
00:12:30.69\00:12:33.06
and Moses talked with them.
00:12:33.17\00:12:35.02
And afterward all the
children of Israel came nigh:
00:12:35.22\00:12:38.05
and he gave them in commandment
00:12:38.25\00:12:39.82
all that the Lord had
spoken with him in mount Sinai.
00:12:40.02\00:12:43.70
And till Moses had
done speaking with them,
00:12:43.83\00:12:46.58
he put a veil on his face.
00:12:46.68\00:12:48.25
But when Moses went in before
the Lord to speak with Him,
00:12:48.45\00:12:51.39
he took the veil
off until he came out.
00:12:51.59\00:12:53.65
And he came out, and spake
unto the children of Israel
00:12:53.85\00:12:56.38
that which he was commanded.
00:12:56.48\00:12:58.10
And the children of
Israel saw the face of Moses,
00:12:58.30\00:13:00.92
that the skin of
Moses' face shone:
00:13:01.02\00:13:03.34
and Moses put the
veil upon his face again,
00:13:03.54\00:13:06.02
until he went in
to speak with Him.
00:13:06.22\00:13:08.72
And we are
continuing in the book of Exodus
00:13:08.92\00:13:11.59
in chapter 35, and this
is the King James version.
00:13:11.69\00:13:14.22
And Moses gathered all the
congregation of the children of
00:13:14.52\00:13:18.07
Israel together,
and said unto them,
00:13:18.17\00:13:19.66
These are the words
which the Lord hath commanded,
00:13:19.76\00:13:21.89
that ye should do them.
00:13:22.00\00:13:23.53
Six days shall work be
done, but on the seventh day
00:13:23.74\00:13:27.00
there shall be to you a holy
day, a Sabbath of rest to the
00:13:27.11\00:13:31.35
Lord: whosoever doeth work
therein shall be put to death.
00:13:31.48\00:13:34.76
Ye shall kindle no fire
throughout your habitations
00:13:34.97\00:13:38.52
upon the Sabbath day.
00:13:38.63\00:13:40.16
And Moses spake unto all
the congregation of the children
00:13:40.36\00:13:43.01
of Israel, saying, This is the
thing which the Lord commanded,
00:13:43.11\00:13:46.28
saying, Take ye from among
you an offering unto the Lord:
00:13:46.38\00:13:49.45
whosoever is of a
willing heart, let him bring it,
00:13:49.55\00:13:53.79
an offering of the Lord;
gold, and silver, and brass,
00:13:53.99\00:13:57.84
And blue, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine linen,
00:13:58.04\00:14:00.33
and goats' hair, and
rams' skins dyed red,
00:14:00.43\00:14:02.59
and badgers'
skins, and shittim wood,
00:14:02.69\00:14:04.60
and oil for the light,
and spices for anointing oil,
00:14:04.70\00:14:07.44
and for the sweet
incense, And onyx stones,
00:14:07.54\00:14:10.55
and stones to be set for the
ephod and for the breastplate.
00:14:10.65\00:14:13.16
And every wisehearted
among you shall come,
00:14:13.36\00:14:17.31
and make all that
the Lord hath commanded;
00:14:17.51\00:14:20.76
The tabernacle, his tent,
and his covering, his taches,
00:14:20.96\00:14:24.29
and his boards, his bars,
his pillars, and his sockets,
00:14:24.39\00:14:27.37
The ark, and the staves
thereof, with the mercy seat,
00:14:27.47\00:14:30.84
and the veil of the covering.
00:14:30.94\00:14:33.40
Thank you for being with
me to read the Word of God,
00:14:33.60\00:14:35.58
and please join me
again next time. Goodbye.
00:14:35.68\00:14:38.26
