00:16 Hi and welcome to His Words are Life.
00:18 I'm Kelly Mowrer and thank you
00:20 for joining with me today
00:21 to read the book of Exodus
00:23 in the Word of God. But before we read,
00:25 let's pray together.
00:27 Dear God, thank You so much for this opportunity
00:30 to be in Your presence and read Your words for these next
00:33 few minutes. Please come and be with us
00:36 and help us to find in these words something that You
00:42 would have each of us to take away and apply to the
00:45 situations that we are each facing.
00:47 You know what our needs are.
00:49 Before we have even asked for them You have the answers.
00:52 And so now be with us as we read.
00:54 Give us Your guidance, Your truth.
00:56 May we see You. We love You so much,
00:59 and thank You for loving us. Amen.
01:01 When we were last together we were reading the story of how
01:05 God brought the Israelites absolutely miraculously
01:09 through the Red Sea. They thought that they were
01:11 going to die there with the sea in front of them and Pharaoh
01:14 and his armies behind them.
01:15 But God opened up a way for them and they came through
01:18 on dry ground. And once they got to the other side,
01:20 they were singing His praises and just dancing for joy.
01:23 And then it wasn't just a few days later they were out in the
01:26 wilderness and afraid they were going to die for lack of water,
01:29 lack of food. And I was reading that and I was thinking
01:32 how often in my life that same lack of faith comes
01:36 and how I don't want to be like the Israelites.
01:38 I want to realize that the same God who has brought me safely
01:42 this far is going to take me safely on to His kingdom,
01:45 His home in His own time. And that goes for each of us.
01:48 Let's read on now about the Israelites as they are walking
01:53 through the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land.
01:55 We are reading in Exodus 16 and we are picking up on
01:59 verse 10:
02:02 And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole
02:05 congregation of the children of Israel, that they looked toward
02:08 the wilderness, and, behold, the glory of the Lord appeared
02:11 in the cloud. And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
02:14 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel:
02:17 speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh,
02:22 and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread;
02:24 and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.
02:27 And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up,
02:31 and covered the camp: and in the morning,
02:33 the dew lay round about the host.
02:36 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold,
02:39 upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing,
02:43 as small as the hoar frost on the ground.
02:46 And when the children of Israel saw it they said one to another,
02:49 It is manna: for they wist not what it was.
02:53 And Moses said unto them, this is the bread which the Lord
02:56 has given you to eat.
02:57 This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded,
02:59 Gather of it every man according to his eating,
03:02 an omer for every man, according to the number of your
03:06 persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.
03:10 And the children of Israel did so, and gathered,
03:13 some more, some less.
03:14 And when they did mete it with an omer, he that
03:18 gathered much had nothing over,
03:20 and he that gathered little had no lack;
03:22 they gathered every man according to his eating.
03:25 And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.
03:29 Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses;
03:32 but some of them left of it until the morning,
03:35 and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.
03:38 And they gathered it every morning,
03:41 every man according to his eating:
03:43 and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.
03:46 And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered
03:49 twice as much bread, two omers for one man:
03:52 and all the rulers of the congregation came
03:55 and told Moses.
03:57 And he said unto them, This is that which the Lord hath said,
04:01 Tomorrow is the rest of the holy Sabbath unto the Lord:
04:05 bake that which ye will bake today,
04:09 and seethe that ye will seethe;
04:11 and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept
04:15 until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning,
04:18 as Moses bade: and it did not stink,
04:21 neither was there any worm therein.
04:23 And Moses said, Eat that today; for today is a Sabbath
04:27 unto the Lord: today you shall not find it in the field.
04:30 Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day,
04:34 which is the Sabbath, in it there shall be none.
04:38 And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people
04:41 on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.
04:45 And the Lord said unto Moses, How long refuse ye
04:49 to keep My commandments and My laws?
04:52 See, for that the Lord hath given you the Sabbath,
04:55 therefore He giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days;
04:59 abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place
05:03 on the seventh day.
05:05 So the people rested on the seventh day.
05:08 And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna:
05:12 and it was like coriander seed, white;
05:15 and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.
05:18 And Moses said, This is the thing which the Lord commandeth,
05:22 Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations;
05:25 that they may see the bread wherewith I have fed you
05:28 in the wilderness, when I brought you forth
05:31 from the land of Egypt.
05:32 And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot,
05:34 and put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up
05:37 before the Lord, to be kept for your generations.
05:39 As the Lord commanded Moses,
05:42 so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony, to be kept.
05:45 And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years,
05:48 until they came to a land inhabited;
05:51 they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders
05:53 of the land of Canaan.
05:55 Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.
05:59 We are continuing to read
06:00 in Exodus and this is chapter 17
06:03 the King James version.
06:04 And all the congregation of the children of Israel
06:08 journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys,
06:11 according to the commandment of the Lord,
06:12 and pitched in Rephidim:
06:15 and there was no water for the people to drink.
06:17 Wherefore, the people did chide with Moses, and said,
06:21 Give us water that we may drink.
06:23 Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me?
06:26 wherefore do ye tempt the Lord?
06:28 And the people thirsted there for water;
06:30 and the people murmured against Moses, and said,
06:32 Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt,
06:36 to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?
06:39 And Moses cried unto the Lord, saying,
06:42 What shall I do unto this people?
06:44 they be almost ready to stone me.
06:46 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people,
06:50 and take with thee of the elders of Israel;
06:53 and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river,
06:56 take in thine hand, and go.
06:58 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb;
07:03 and thou shalt smite the rock,
07:05 and there shall come water out of it,
07:07 that the people may drink.
07:08 And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.
07:12 And he called the name of the place Masah,
07:14 and Meribah, because of the chiding of the
07:17 children of Israel, and because they tempted the Lord, saying,
07:20 Is the Lord among us, or not?
07:23 Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
07:27 And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men,
07:30 and go out, fight with Amalek:
07:32 tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the
07:36 rod of God in mine hand.
07:37 So Joshua did as Moses had said to him
07:40 and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur
07:44 went up to the top of the hill.
07:47 And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand,
07:51 that Israel prevailed:
07:52 and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.
07:55 But Moses' hands were heavy;
07:58 and they took a stone, and put it under him,
08:00 and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands,
08:04 the one on the one side, the other on the other side;
08:07 and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
08:12 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people
08:15 with the edge of the sword.
08:17 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial
08:20 in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua:
08:23 for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek
08:27 from under heaven.
08:28 And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it
08:31 Jehovahnissi:
08:33 For he said, Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will
08:36 have war with Amalek from generation to generation.
08:41 Continuing with the book of Exodus, and this is chapter 18
08:45 in the King James version.
08:47 When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law,
08:51 heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel
08:55 his people, and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt;
08:58 Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah,
09:02 Moses' wife, after he had sent her back, And her two sons;
09:06 of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said,
09:09 I have been an alien in a strange land:
09:12 And the name of the other was Eliezer;
09:14 for the God of my father, said he, was my help,
09:17 and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:
09:19 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his
09:23 sons and his wife unto Moses into the wilderness,
09:26 where he encamped at the mount of God:
09:28 And he said unto Moses, I thy father-in-law Jethro
09:32 have come unto thee, and thy wife, and her two sons with her.
09:36 And Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and did obeisance
09:39 and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare;
09:42 and they came into the tent.
09:44 Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done
09:48 unto Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake,
09:51 and all the travail that had come upon them by the way,
09:54 and how the Lord delivered them.
09:56 And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the Lord had done
09:59 to Israel, whom He had delivered
10:01 out of the hand of the Egyptians.
10:03 And Jethro said, Blessed be the Lord, who hath delivered you
10:06 out of the hand of the Egyptians and out of the hand of Pharaoh,
10:09 who hath delivered the people from under the hand
10:12 of the Egyptians. Now I know that the Lord is greater
10:15 than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly
10:19 He was above them.
10:21 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law took a burnt offering
10:25 and sacrifices for God: and Aaron came, and all
10:29 the elders of Israel, to eat bread with Moses' father-in-law
10:32 before God. And it came to pass on the morrow,
10:36 that Moses sat to judge the people:
10:38 and the people stood by Moses
10:40 from the morning unto the evening.
10:41 And when Moses' father-in-law saw all he did to the people,
10:45 he said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people?
10:49 why sittest thou thyself alone,
10:52 and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?
10:56 And Moses said unto his father-in-law,
10:59 Because the people come unto me to enquire of God:
11:02 When they have a matter, they come unto me;
11:04 and I judge between one and another, and I do make them know
11:07 the statutes of God, and His laws.
11:09 And Moses' father-in-law said unto him,
11:12 The thing that thou doest is not good.
11:15 Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people
11:19 that is with thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee;
11:21 thou art not able to perform it thyself alone.
11:25 Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel,
11:28 and God shall be with thee: Be thou for the people
11:33 to Godward, that thou mayest bring the causes unto God:
11:37 And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws,
11:41 and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk,
11:43 and the work that they must do.
11:45 Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people
11:48 able men, such as fear God, men of truth,
11:52 hating covetousness; and place such over them,
11:55 to be rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds,
11:59 rulers of fifties; and rulers of tens:
12:01 And let them judge the people at all seasons:
12:04 and it shall be, that every great matter they shall bring
12:08 unto thee, but every small matter they shall judge:
12:12 so shall it be easier for thyself,
12:15 and they shall bear the burden with thee.
12:17 If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so,
12:21 then thou shalt be able to endure,
12:24 and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.
12:28 So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father-in-law,
12:32 and did all that he had said.
12:34 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel,
12:37 and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands,
12:40 rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.
12:45 And they judged the people at all seasons:
12:47 the hard causes they brought unto Moses,
12:50 but every small matter they judged themselves.
12:53 And Moses let his father-in-law depart; and he went his way
12:57 into his own land.
13:01 We're continuing with Exodus chapter 19.
13:04 This is the King James version.
13:06 In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone
13:09 forth out of the land of Egypt,
13:11 the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.
13:14 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the
13:18 desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness;
13:20 and there Israel camped before the mount.
13:23 And Moses went up unto God,
13:25 and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying,
13:28 Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob,
13:30 and tell the children of Israel;
13:31 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians,
13:34 and how I bare you on eagles wings,
13:36 and brought you unto myself.
13:37 Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed,
13:40 and keep My covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure
13:44 unto Me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
13:48 And ye shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests,
13:51 and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak
13:55 unto the children of Israel.
13:56 And Moses came and called for the elders of the people,
13:59 and laid before their faces all these words
14:02 which the Lord commanded him.
14:04 And all the people answered together, and said,
14:07 All that the Lord hath spoken we will do.
14:11 And Moses returned the words of the people unto the Lord.
14:15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee
14:18 in a thick cloud, that the people may hear what I speak
14:22 with thee, and believe thee for ever.
14:24 And Moses told the words of the people unto the Lord.
14:28 Thank you for joining with me to read today.
14:30 And until next time, may God bless and keep you.
14:33 Goodbye.
