[Music] Now Joseph and all his brothers,
and all their generation died. Then a new king to whom Joseph meant
nothing came to power in Egypt. Look, he said to his people, the Israelites
have become far too numerous for us come we must deal surely with them or
they will become even more numerous and if War breaks out we'll join our enemies
fight against us and leave the country. 11 So they put slave masters over them
to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses
as store cities for Pharaoh. 12 But the more they were oppressed,
the more they multiplied and spread; so the Egyptians came to dread the
Israelites 13 and worked them ruthlessly. 22 Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw
into the Nile, but let every girl live.” Now a man of the tribe of Levi married a
Levite woman, 2 and she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. When she saw that he
was a fine child, she hid him for three months. 3 But when she could hide him no longer, she got
a papyrus basket for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put
it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile. 4 His sister stood at a distance
to see what would happen to him. 5 Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile
to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among
the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. 6 She opened it and saw the baby.
He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said. [Music] 7 Then his sister asked Pharaoh’s
daughter, “Shall I go and get one of the Hebrew women to nurse the baby for you?”
8 “Yes, go,” she answered. So the girl went and got the baby’s mother. 9 Pharaoh’s daughter said to her,
“Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby
and nursed him. 10 When the child grew older, she took him to Pharaoh’s
daughter and he became her son. She named him Moses, saying,
“I drew him out of the water.” 11 One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out
to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating
a Hebrew, one of his own people. 12 Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he
killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 15 When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill
Moses, but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian, where he sat down by a well. 23
During that long period, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned in
their slavery and cried out, and their cry for help because of their slavery went up to God. 24 God heard their groaning and he
remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob. 25 So God looked on the
Israelites and was concerned about them. Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his
father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness
and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared
to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush
was on fire it did not burn up. [Music] 4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to
look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” do not come any closer God said take off your sandals for the place
where you are standing is Holy Ground [Music] then he said I am the god of your father the god
of Abraham the god of Isaac and the god of Jacob 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off
your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God
of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid
his face, because he was afraid to look at God. 7 The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery
of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am
concerned about their suffering. [Music] 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring
my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” [Music] 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should
go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to
the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me,
‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” 14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the
Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to
me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?” 2 Then the Lord said to him,
“What is that in your hand?” “A staff,” he replied. 3 The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.” Moses threw it on the ground
and it became a snake, and he ran from it. 4 Then the Lord said to him,
“Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and
it turned back into a staff in his hand. 5 “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe
that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and
the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.” 10 Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your
servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to
your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” Moses said, “Pardon your servant,
Lord. Please send someone else.” 14 Then the Lord’s anger burned against Moses and he
said, “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his
way to meet you, and he will be glad to see you. and it will be as if he were your mouth
and as if you were God to him. [Music] 21 The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the
wonders I have given you the power to do. But I will harden his heart so that
he will not let the people go. [Music] 5 Afterward Moses and Aaron
went to Pharaoh and said, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘Let my people go, so that they may hold
a festival to me in the wilderness.’” 2 Pharaoh said, “Who is the
Lord, that I should obey him and let Israel go? I do not know the
Lord and I will not let Israel go.” 3 Then they said, “The God of
the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the
wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plagues or
with the sword.” 4 But the king of Egypt said, “Moses and Aaron, why are you taking the people
away from their labor? Get back to your work!” [Music] 6 That same day Pharaoh gave this order to the slave
drivers and overseers in charge of the people: 9 Make the work harder for the people so that
they keep working and pay no attention to lies.” [Music] 22 Moses returned to the Lord and
said, “Why, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? Is this why you sent me? 23 Ever
since I went to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has brought trouble on this people, and
you have not rescued your people at all.” 6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see
what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty
hand he will drive them out of his country.” 5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the
Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. [Music]
3 But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in
Egypt, 4 he will not listen to you. [Music] Mighty acts of judgment I
will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. 5 And
the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against
Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.” 11 Now the Lord had said to Moses, “I will
bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go
from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely. 3 Tell
the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a
lamb[a] for his family, one for each household. 7 Then they are to take some of
the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the
houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat
the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and
bread made without yeast. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak
tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste;
it is the Lord’s Passover. [Music] 12 “On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike
down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the
gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. 13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses
where you are, and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive
plague will touch you when I strike Egypt. 29 At midnight the Lord struck
down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat
on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the
firstborn of all the livestock as well. 30 Pharaoh and all his officials and all
the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for
there was not a house without someone dead. 31 During the night Pharaoh summoned
Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. 32 Take
your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.” 40 Now the length of time the Israelite people lived
in Egypt[b] was 430 years. 41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s
divisions left Egypt. 3 Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you
came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the Lord brought you out of it with
a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast. 17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God
did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was
shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return
to Egypt.” 18 So God led the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a] The
Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle. 21 By day the Lord went ahead of them in
a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them
light, so that they could travel by day or night. 14 Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “Tell
the Israelites to turn back and encamp near Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. They are to encamp by the sea, directly
opposite Baal Zephon. 3 Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are wandering around the
land in confusion, hemmed in by the desert.’ 5 When the king of Egypt was told that the
people had fled, Pharaoh and his officials changed their minds about them and said, “What
have we done? We have let the Israelites go and have lost their services!” 6 So he had his
chariot made ready and took his army with him. 9 The Egyptians—all Pharaoh’s horses and
chariots, horsemen[a] and troops—pursued the Israelites and overtook them as they camped by
the sea near Pi Hahiroth, opposite Baal Zephon. 10 As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked
up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the
Lord. 11 They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought
us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? 12 Didn’t we say
to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to
serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!” 13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the
Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 14 The Lord
will fight for you; you need only to be still.” [Music] 15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out
to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the
sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 21 Then
Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back
with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the
Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their
left. [Music] 23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots
and horsemen followed them into the sea. [Applause] 26 Then the Lord said to Moses,
“Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the
Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 28 The water flowed back and covered the
chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites
into the sea. Not one of them survived. 30 That day the Lord saved Israel
from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians
lying dead on the shore. 31 And when the Israelites saw the mighty hand
of the Lord displayed against the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord and put their
trust in him and in Moses his servant. 16 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim
and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second
month after they had come out of Egypt. 2 In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses
and Aaron. 3 The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There
we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this
desert to starve this entire assembly to death.” 6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites,
“In the evening you will know that it was the Lord who brought you out of Egypt, 7 and in
the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your grumbling against
him. Who are we, that you should grumble against us?” 8 Moses also said, “You will know that it
was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning,
because he has heard your grumbling against him. Who are we? You are not grumbling
against us, but against the Lord.” [Music] 13 That evening quail came and
covered the camp, [Music] and in the morning there was a layer of dew
around the camp. 14 When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on
the desert floor. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?”
For they did not know what it was. [Music] Moses said to them “It is the bread the Lord
has given you to eat. [Music] Everyone is to gather as much as they need. Take
an omer for each person you have in your tent.’ 17 The Israelites did as they were told;
some gathered much, some little. [Music] the whole Israelite Community set out from the desert of sin traveling from place
to place as the Lord commanded 17 The whole Israelite community
set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to
place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was
no water for the people to drink. 2 So they quarreled with Moses and
said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with
me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?” 3 But the people were thirsty for water there,
and they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of
Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?” [Music]
4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “What am I to do with these people?
They are almost ready to stone me.” 5 The Lord answered Moses, “Go out in front of
the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with
which you struck the Nile, and go. [Music] [Music] 6 I will stand there before
you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it
for the people to drink.” So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel.
[Music] 16 On the morning of the third day
there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very
loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. 20 The Lord descended to the top of
Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses went
up 20 And God spoke all these words: 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you
out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. you shall have no other gods before me [Music] 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or
on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 7 “You shall not misuse the
name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone
guiltless who misuses his name. 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it
holy. 12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the
land the Lord your God is giving you. 13 “You shall not murder. 14 “You shall not commit adultery. 15 “You shall not steal. 16 “You shall not give false
testimony against your neighbor. 17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey,
or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” 22 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the
Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: 23
Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods
of silver or gods of gold. [Music] don't finish speaking to Moses on
Mount Sinai he gave him the two top of the Covenant law the tablets of
stone inscribed by the Finger of God [Music] 2 When the people saw that Moses was so
long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come,
make us gods[a] who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of
Egypt, we don’t know what has happened to him.” 7 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go down, because
your people, whom you brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt. 8 They have been quick to
turn away from what I commanded them and have made themselves an idol cast in the shape
of a calf. They have bowed down to it and sacrificed to it and have said, ‘These are your
gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.’ 17 When Joshua heard the noise of the
people shouting, he said to Moses, “There is the sound of war in
the camp.” 18 Moses replied: “It is not the sound of victory,
it is not the sound of defeat; it is the sound of singing that I hear.” 19 When Moses approached the camp and saw the
calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking
them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. [Music] 21 He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to
you, that you led them into such great sin?” [Music] 31 So Moses went
back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have
committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. 32 But now, please forgive their sin—but if not,
then blot me out of the book you have written.” 33 The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned
against me I will blot out of my book.[Music] 12 Moses said to the Lord, “You have been telling me, ‘Lead these people,’ but you have not
let me know whom you will send with me. You have said, ‘I know you by name and you
have found favor with me.’ 13 If you are pleased with me, teach me your ways so I may
know you and continue to find favor with you. Remember that this nation is your people.” [Music] 34 The Lord said to Moses, “Chisel
out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I will write on them the words that were
on the first tablets, which you broke. 10 Then the Lord said: “I am making a covenant
with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in
all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that
I, the Lord, will do for you. [Music] 35 Moses assembled the whole Israelite community and
said to them, “These are the things the Lord has commanded you to do: 10 “All who are skilled
among you are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded: 11 the tabernacle with
its tent and its covering, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 12 the ark with
its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain that shields it; 13 the table with its
poles and all its articles and the bread of the Presence; 14 the lampstand that is for light with
its accessories, lamps and oil for the light; 15 the altar of incense with its poles, the
anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the curtain for the doorway at
the entrance to the tabernacle; 16 the altar of burnt offering with its bronze
grating, its poles and all its utensils; the bronze basin with its stand; 42 The Israelites had done all the work just
as the Lord had commanded Moses. 43 Moses inspected the work and saw that they had
done it just as the Lord had commanded. [Music] 34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting,
and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. Numbers 10:33 So they set out from the mountain of
the Lord and traveled for three days. The ark of the covenant of the Lord went before them during
those three days to find them a place to rest. 13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Send some men to
explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe
send one of its leaders.” 17 When Moses sent them to explore Canaan, he said, “Go up through
the Negev and on into the hill country. 18 See what the land is like and whether the people
who live there are strong or weak, few or many. Are there trees in it or not? Do your best
to bring back some of the fruit of the land.” [Music] 25 At the end of forty days they returned
from exploring the land. 26 They came back to Moses and Aaron and the whole Israelite
community at Kadesh in the Desert of Paran. There they reported to them and to the
whole assembly and showed them the fruit of the land. 27 They gave Moses this account:
“We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk
and honey! Here is its fruit. 30 Then Caleb silenced the
people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of
the land, for we can certainly do it.” 31 But the men who had gone up with him
said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about
the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it.
All the people we saw there are of great size. 14 That night all the members of the community
raised their voices and wept aloud. 2 All the Israelites grumbled against Moses and Aaron, and
the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt! Or in this wilderness! 3 Why is
the Lord bringing us to this land only to let us fall by the sword? Our wives and children will be
taken as plunder. Wouldn’t it be better for us to go back to Egypt?” 4 And they said to each other,
“We should choose a leader and go back to Egypt.” 5 Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in
front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there. but they all assembly
talked about stoning them then the glory of the Lord appeared at the tent
of meeting to all the Israelites 11 The Lord said to Moses, “How long will these
people treat me with contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the signs
I have performed among them? 12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I
will make you into a nation greater and stronger than they.” 13 Moses said to the Lord, “Then the
Egyptians will hear about it! By your power you brought these people up from among them. 15 If you
put all these people to death, leaving none alive, the nations who have heard this report about
you will say, 16 ‘The Lord was not able to bring these people into the land he promised them on
oath, so he slaughtered them in the wilderness.’ 19 In accordance with your great
love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from
the time they left Egypt until now.” 20 The Lord replied, “I have
forgiven them, as you asked. 21 Nevertheless, as surely as I live and as surely
as the glory of the Lord fills the whole earth, 22 not one of those who saw my glory and the signs I
performed in Egypt and in the wilderness but who disobeyed me and tested me ten times— 23 not
one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their ancestors. No one who has
treated me with contempt will ever see it. 13 The Lord’s anger burned against Israel and he
made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until the whole generation of those who
had done evil in his sight was gone. 3 In the fortieth year, on the
first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that
the Lord had commanded him concerning them. 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord
our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your strength. remember how the Lord your God LED you all
the way in the wilderness these 40 years to humble and test you in order
to know what was in your heart whether or not you would keep his commands observe the commands of the Lord your God
walking in obedience to him and revering him for the Lord your God is bringing you into
the good land a land with Brooks streams and Deep Springs gushing out into the valleys
and Hills the Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you from your
fellow Israelites you must listen to him [Music] you are standing here in order to enter
into a covenant with the Lord your God a covenant the Lord is making with
you this day and sealing with an oath to confirm you this day as his people
that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers
Abraham Isaac and Jacob [Music] for I command you today to love the Lord your
God to walk in obedience to him and to keep his commands decrease and laws then you will leave
an increase and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess but if
your heart turns away and you are not obedient if you are drawn away to bow down
to other gods and worship them I declare to you this day that you will
certainly be destroyed you will not live long in the land you are crossing
the Jordan to enter and possess [Music] I am now 120 years old and I
am no longer able to lead you the Lord has said to me you shall
not cross the Jordan [Music] then Moses summoned Joshua and said
to him in the presence of all Israel [Applause] strong and courageous for you must go with
these people into the land that the Lord swore to the ancestors to give them and you
must divide it among them as their inheritance the Lord himself goes before you and will be
with you he will never leave you nor forsake you [Music] do not be afraid do not be discouraged then Moses climbed Mount Nebo from The Plains of mohab to the top of Pisgah
across from Jericho [Music] there the Lord showed him the
whole land from Gilead to them [Music] then the Lord said to him this
is the land I promise on oath to Abraham Isaac and Jacob when I said
I will give it to your descendants I've let you see it with your eyes
but you will not cross over into it Moses servant of the Lord died there in
Moab as the Lord had said he buried him in Moab in the valley opposite betpure but
to this day no one knows where his grave is since then no Prophet is written in Israel
like Moses whom the Lord knew face to face with all those signs and wonders the
Lord sent him to do in Egypt to pharaoh and to all his officials into his old hand
for No One has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome Deeds that
Moses did in the sight of all Israel
