Laws About Property



28 (Ex 21:32) If an ox gores a man or a woman to death,

then the ox must surely be stoned and its flesh must not be eaten,

but the owner of the ox will be acquitted.

29 But if the ox has had the habit of goring,

and the owner has been made aware of it,

and he has not kept it in, and it has killed a man or a woman,

then the ox shall be stoned and its owner also shall be put to death.

30 (Ex 21:22; 30:12) If a ransom is set for him, then he shall give

for the ransom of his life whatever is demanded of him.

31 Whether it gored a son or gored a daughter,

it will be done to him according to this rule.

32 (Mt 26:15; Zec 11:12-13) If the ox gores a male servant

or a female servant, then its owner shall give thirty shekels

(About 12 ounces, or 345 grams. ) of silver to their master,

and the ox must be stoned.

33 If a man opens a pit or if a man digs a pit

and does not cover it, and an ox

or a donkey falls into it,

34 the owner of the pit must make restitution.

He must give money to their owner, and the dead animal will be his.

35 If one man's ox hurts another's so that it dies,

then they shall sell the live ox

and divide its proceeds and divide the dead ox also.

36 Or if it be known that the ox has had the habit of goring

and its owner has not kept it in,

then he shall surely pay ox for ox

and the dead animal will become his own.



[28] If an ox gore a man or a woman, that they die: then the ox shall be

surely stoned, and his flesh shall not be eaten; but the owner of the ox

shall be quit.

[29] But if the ox were wont to push with his horn in time past, and it hath

been testified to his owner, and he hath not kept him in, but that he hath

killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and his owner also shall be

put to death.

[30] If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the

ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him.

[31] Whether he have gored a son, or have gored a daughter, according to

this judgment shall it be done unto him.

[32] If the ox shall push a manservant or a maidservant; he shall give unto

their master thirty shekels of silver, and the ox shall be stoned.

[33] And if a man shall open a pit, or if a man shall dig a pit, and not

cover it, and an ox or an ass fall therein;

[34] The owner of the pit shall make it good, and give money unto the owner

of them; and the dead beast shall be his.

[35] And if one man's ox hurt another's, that he die; then they shall sell

the live ox, and divide the money of it; and the dead ox also they shall

divide.

[36] Or if it be known that the ox hath used to push in time past, and his

owner hath not kept him in; he shall surely pay ox for ox; and the dead

shall be his own.

2) Our Daily Bread for 5 February 2026 titled Rejuvenating Rest

by Xochitl Dixon



Hebrews 4:1-4, 6-7, 9-11



1 (Heb 12:15) Therefore, since the promise of entering His rest remains,

let us fear lest any of you should seem to come short of it.

2 (1Th 2:13) For the gospel was preached to us as well as to them.

But the word preached did not benefit them, because it was not mixed

with faith in those who heard it.

3 (Ps 95:11; Heb 3:11) For we who have believed have entered this rest,

as He has said,

"As I have sworn in My wrath,

'They shall not enter My rest.' "(Ps 95:11.)

However, His works have been finished since the creation of the world.

4 (Ex 20:11; 31:17) For He spoke somewhere about the seventh day like this:

"And God rested on the seventh day from all His works."(Ge 2:2.)

6 (Heb 3:18-19) Since therefore it remains for some to enter it,

and they to whom it was first preached did not enter due to unbelief,

7 (Ps 95:7; Heb 3:7-8) again He establishes a certain day,

"Today," saying through David, after so long a time, as it has been said:

"Today, if you will hear His voice,

do not harden your hearts."(Ps 95:7-8.)

9 Therefore a rest remains for the people of God.

10 (Rev 14:13) For whoever enters His rest will also cease from his own works,

as God did from His.

11 (Heb 3:12) Let us labor therefore to enter that rest, lest anyone fall

by the same pattern of unbelief.



[1] Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into

his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

[2] For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word

preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard

it.

[3] For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have

sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were

finished from the foundation of the world.

[4] For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God

did rest the seventh day from all his works.

[6] Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to

whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

[7] Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long

a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your

hearts.

[9] There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

[10] For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own

works, as God did from his.

[11] Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall

after the same example of unbelief.



During a birthday party, five-year-old Mia enjoyed playing, singing "Happy

Birthday," eating cake, and watching her friend open gifts. When everyone went

outside to play, Mia said, "Mom, I'm ready to go." They thanked their host.

Pulling out of the driveway, Mia's mom asked her to share the best part of her

day. "Leaving," said Mia. Smiling, she fell asleep

before they turned the corner.



Even if we don't realise we're exhausted, we all need physical, mental, and

emotional rest. God also provides divine rest when we accept both the good

news of salvation through Christ and daily spiritual rest as the Spirit

enables us to live for Christ by faith. Those who place their trust in God can

depend on His unending presence, unlimited power, and unchanging promises.

Saved through Christ's work on the cross, we can rest in the peace of His

sufficiency (Hebrews 4:1-4). We can experience divine rest as a guarantee

fulfilled eternally now and when Jesus comes again (vv. 5-8).



"Anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did

from his" (v. 10). So, secured in Christ, we can enjoy a hope-filled life of

surrender and loving obedience as we trust and rely on Him. Only He can

provide rejuvenating rest yesterday and today and forever.



Reflect & Pray



How does believing God enable you to rest in the surety of your salvation

and rest physically, emotionally, and mentally each day? What has kept you

from resting in God's promises in the past?



Faithful God, thank You for being my enduring resting place.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation



Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 5 Called by Name



Isaiah 43:1



1 But now, thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob,

and He who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; you are Mine.



1 But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob,

and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not:

for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.



Eric, age 4, somehow lost his mother in a large and busy department store.

Found sobbing under a coat rack, the boy tried to tell the security guard

where he was when he got separated from his mother. Finally the guard said,

"what's your name, Son? Who do you belong to?"

The child brightened a bit, gave the guard his name, and within minutes

the frantic mother was reunited with her lost son.

One of the first questions we are asked, both as children and adults, is

"What is your name?" - that is, "Who are you? Who do you belong to?"

Children bear the name of their parents, and most women,

except for professional reasons,

take the name of their husbands when they marry.

Our names are our primary method of identification;

they connect us with our heritage and those we love.

In Isaiah 43:1, God declares that we belong to him.

The Lord who created us and formed us says,

"I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine." God's

right of ownership in our lives extends beyond the bond of family and friends,

of parent, child, or spouse. We belong first to him;

we are called by him into oneness with him.

The Scripture is filled with images of the Lord's care for us;

when we are lost, he does

not wait for us to find him,

but takes the initiative, like a loving parent

to seek us out. That declaration of belonging can give us

a strong sense of security in our lives. God loves us;

he will never let us go.



Application



a) What experiences have I had of being lost of abandoned?



b) How can today's verse help me find security in belonging to God?



4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Hebr 11:6



6 (1Ch 28:9; Jer 29:13-14) And without faith it is impossible to please God,

for he who comes to God must believe that He exists

and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.



6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh

to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them

that diligently seek him.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Burdened by Doubt



Matt 7:7-11



Ask, Seek, Knock



Lk 11:9-13



7(Mt 21:22; Mk 11:24) "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find;

knock and it will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds,

and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

9 "What man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread,

will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?

11 (Ge 6:5; 8:21) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts

to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give

good things to those who ask Him!



7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,

and it shall be opened unto you:

8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;

and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread,

will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,

how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things

to them that ask him?

Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.





Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

and we will listen, but do not let God speak to us, lest we die."

for God has come to test you, so that the fear of Him may be

before you so that you do not sin."

The Law About the Altar



22 (Ne 9:13; Dt 4:36) Then the Lord said to Moses:

Thus you shall say to the children of Israel,

"You yourselves have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23 (Ex 20:3-5; 2Ki 17:33) You shall not make gods of silver alongside

Me or make gods of gold for yourselves.

24 (Dt 12:5; 16:11; 26:2) "You shall make an altar of earth for Me

and on it you shall sacrifice your burnt offerings and your peace offerings,

your sheep, and your oxen.

In every place where I cause My name to be honored,

I will come to you and bless you.

you shall not build it of cut stones, for if you use your tool on it,

you will have polluted it.

26 And you shall not go up by steps to My altar,

so that your nakedness will not be exposed on it."



[22] And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of

Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

[23] Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto

you gods of gold.

[24] An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon

thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in

all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless

thee.

[25] And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of

hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

[26] Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness

be not discovered thereon.



EXODUS 21



The Law About Servants



Dt 15:12-18; Lev 25:39-55



1 (Dt 4:14; 6:20) Now these are the judgments which you will set before them.

2 (Dt 15:12-15; 15:18) If you buy a Hebrew servant, he will serve

for six years, but in the seventh he shall go out free

without paying anything.

3 If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself.

If he is married, then his wife will go out with him.

4 If his master gives him a wife, and she bears him sons or daughters,

the wife and her children shall belong to her master,

and he will go out by himself.

5 (Dt 15:16-17) However, if the servant plainly says,

"I love my master, my wife, and my children. I will not go out free,"

6 (Ex 22:8-9) then his master will bring him to the judges,

then he shall also bring him to the door or to the doorpost,

and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl,

and he shall serve him forever.

7 (Ne 5:5; Ex 21:2-3) If a man sells his daughter to be a female servant,

she shall not go out as the male servants do.

8 If she does not please her master, who has betrothed her to himself,

then he shall let her be redeemed.

He has no authority to sell her to a foreign nation,

because he has dealt deceitfully with her.

9 If he has designated her for his son, then he shall deal with

her according to the customary rights of daughters.

10 If he marries another wife,

then he must not diminish the first one's food,

her clothing, or her marital rights.

11 If he does not provide these three for her,

then she shall go out free, without paying money.



[1] Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them.

[2] If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the

seventh he shall go out free for nothing.

[3] If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were

married, then his wife shall go out with him.

[4] If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or

daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go

out by himself.

[5] And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my

children; I will not go out free:

[6] Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him

to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear

through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

[7] And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out

as the menservants do.

[8] If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then

shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall

have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.

[9] And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after

the manner of daughters.

[10] If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of

marriage, shall he not diminish.

[11] And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free

without money.



The Law About Violence



12 (Ge 9:6; Lev 24:17; Mt 26:52) He that strikes a man

so that he dies shall surely be put to death.

13 (Jos 20:2-9; 1Sa 24:4) However, if it was not premeditated,

but God let him fall into his hand, then I will appoint you

a place where he may flee.

14 (1Ki 2:28-34; Heb 10:26) But if a man willfully comes upon his neighbour

in order to kill him cunningly, then you must take him from My altar,

that he may die.



[12] He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

[13] And if a man lie not in wait, but God deliver him into his hand; then I

will appoint thee a place whither he shall flee.

[14] But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with

guile; thou shalt take him from mine altar, that he may die.



(Capital Punishment)



15 He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.



[15] And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to

death.



(Honour your father and mother comes to mind)



16 (Dt 24:7; Ex 22:4) He who kidnaps a man and sells him,

or if he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death.



[16] And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his

hand, he shall surely be put to death.



(Extortion punishable by death)



17 (Pr 20:20; Dt 27:16) He who curses his father or his mother shall

surely be put to death.

18 (Ex 21:20) If men fight and one strikes the other with a stone

or with his fist, and he does not die, but must remain in bed,

19 and then if he gets up and walks around on his staff,

then he who struck him shall go unpunished.

Only he must pay for his loss of time

and shall see to it that he is thoroughly healed.

20 If a man strikes his male servant or his female servant

with a rod so that he or she dies at his hand,

then he shall surely be punished.

21 Nevertheless, if he survives for a day or two,

then he shall not be punished, for it is his money.



[17] And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to

death.

[18] And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with

his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:

[19] If he rise again, and walk abroad upon his staff, then shall he that

smote him be quit: only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall

cause him to be thoroughly healed.

[20] And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die

under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

[21] Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished:

for he is his money.



(Treat those who serve you correctly)



22 (Dt 22:18-19; Ex 21:30) If men fight and hurt a pregnant woman so that

her child is born prematurely,Or she has a miscarriage.

yet there is no serious injury,

then he shall be surely punished in accordance with

what the woman's husband demands of him,

and he shall pay as the judges determine.

23 (Dt 19:21) But if there is any serious injury,

then you shall give life for life,

24 (Dt 19:21) eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.



[22] If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart

from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according

as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges

determine.

[23] And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life,

[24] Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,

[25] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.



(That is rather strong)



26 If a man strikes the eye of his male servant

or the eye of his female servant so that it is destroyed,

then he must let him go free on account of his eye.

27 If he knocks out his male servant's tooth

or his female servant's tooth,

then he shall let him or her go free on account of the tooth.



[26] And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that

it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake.

[27] And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth;

he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake.

EXODUS 19



Israel at Mount Sinai



1 (Ex 12:6; 16:1) In the third month after the children of Israel had gone

forth out of the land of Egypt, on the same day they came

into the Wilderness of Sinai.

2 (Ex 3:1; 17:1) When they set out from Rephidim, they came to the

Wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness.

Israel camped there before the mountain.

3 (Ex 3:4; Ac 7:38) Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him

from the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob

and tell the children of Israel:

4 (Isa 63:9; Dt 29:2; Rev 12:14) 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians,

and how I lifted you up on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself.

5 (Ex 9:29; Dt 10:14) Now therefore, if you will faithfully obey My voice

and keep My covenant, then you shall be My special possession out of all

the nations, for all the earth is Mine.

6 (Dt 7:6; 26:19) And you will be to Me a kingdom of priests

and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak

to the children of Israel."

7 (Ex 4:29-30) So Moses came and called for the elders of the people

and laid before them all these words which the Lord commanded him.

8 (Ex 24:3; 24:7) Then all the people answered together and said,

"All that the Lord has spoken we will do."

And Moses brought back the words of the people to the Lord.

9 (Dt 4:36; Ex 19:16) The Lord said to Moses, "Indeed, I am going to come

to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with

you and always believe in you." Then Moses told the words of the people

to the Lord.

10 (Ge 35:2; Lev 11:44-45) The Lord said to Moses, "Go to the people

and sanctify them today and tomorrow,

and have them wash their clothes,

11 (Ex 19:16; 34:5) and be ready for the third day, for on the third day

the Lord will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

12 You shall set boundaries for the people all around, saying,

'Take heed to yourselves so that you not go up onto the mountain

or touch its border.

Whoever touches the mountain will surely be put to death.

13 (Ex 19:16; 19:19) No hand will touch him, but he shall

surely be stoned or shot through, whether it be beast or man.

He shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds a long blast,

they shall come up to the mountain."

14 So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified

the people, and they washed their clothes.

15 (Ex 19:11; 1Sa 21:4-5) He said to the people,

"Be ready for the third day. Do not go near your wives."

16 (Heb 12:21; 12:18-19) So on the third day, in the morning,

there was thunder and lightning, and a thick cloud on the mountain,

and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet.

All the people who were in the camp trembled.

17 (Dt 4:10) Then Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet

with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

18 (Ps 144:5; Ex 24:17; Jdg 5:5) Now Mount Sinai was completely covered

in smoke because the Lord had descended upon it in fire, and the smoke

ascended like the smoke of a furnace,

and the whole mountain shook violently.

19 (Ps 81:7; Ex 19:16) When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder,

Moses spoke, and God answered him with a voice.Or thunder.

20 (Ne 9:13) The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain.

And the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21 (1Sa 6:19; Ex 3:5) Then the Lord said to Moses,

"Go down, warn the people, lest they force their way to the Lord to look,

and many of them perish.

22 (Ex 24:5) Let the priests also, which come near to the Lord,

sanctify themselves, lest the Lord break through against them."

23 (Ex 19:12) Moses said to the Lord, "The people cannot come

up to Mount Sinai, for You warned us, saying,

'Set boundaries around the mountain, and sanctify it.' "

24 Then the Lord said to him, "Go, get down, and come up,

you and Aaron with you, but do not let the priests

and the people force their way through to come up to the Lord,

lest He break through against them."

25 So Moses went down to the people and spoke to them.



Exodus 19

[1] In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of

the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

[2] For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of

Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the

mount.

[3] And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the

mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the

children of Israel;

[4] Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on

eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

[5] Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant,

then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the

earth is mine:

[6] And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These

are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

[7] And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before

their faces all these words which the LORD commanded him.

[8] And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath

spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

[9] And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud,

that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever.

And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

[10] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to

day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,

[11] And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will

come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

[12] And thou shalt set bounds unto the people round about, saying, Take

heed to yourselves, that ye go not up into the mount, or touch the border of

it: whosoever toucheth the mount shall be surely put to death:

[13] There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or

shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the

trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount.

[14] And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the

people; and they washed their clothes.

[15] And he said unto the people, Be ready against the third day: come not

at your wives.

[16] And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were

thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of

the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp

trembled.

[17] And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God;

and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

[18] And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended

upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace,

and the whole mount quaked greatly.

[19] And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and

louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.

[20] And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and

the LORD called Moses up to the top of the mount; and Moses went up.

[21] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they

break through unto the LORD to gaze, and many of them perish.

[22] And let the priests also, which come near to the LORD, sanctify

themselves, lest the LORD break forth upon them.

[23] And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai:

for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

[24] And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come

up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break

through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.

[25] So Moses went down unto the people, and spake unto them.



EXODUS 20



The Ten Commandments



Dt 5:6-21



1 (Dt 5:22) Now God spoke all these words, saying:

2 (Ex 13:3; Lev 26:1) I am the Lord your God, who brought you

out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 (Jer 35:15; Dt 6:14) You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 (Lev 26:1; Dt 27:15; Lev 19:4) You shall not make for yourself

any graven idol, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven

above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water

below the earth.

5 (Ex 34:14; Nu 14:18) You shall not bow down to them or serve them;

for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God,

visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children

to the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me,

6 (Dt 7:9) and showing lovingkindness to thousands of them

who love Me and keep My commandments.



[1] And God spake all these words, saying,

[2] I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt,

out of the house of bondage.

[3] Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

[4] Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any

thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is

in the water under the earth:

[5] Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD

thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the

children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

[6] And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my

commandments.



( No idols, Love the Lord Your God as yourself,

what idols are there in your life?)



7 (Lev 19:12; Jas 5:12) You shall not take the name of the Lord your God

in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone

who takes His name in vain.

[7] Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD

will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.



( NO swearing. Remember all good things come from above.

Swear at Satan, the enemy of your soul)



8 (Lev 19:3; Ge 2:3) Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy.

9 (Lk 13:14; Ex 23:12) Six days you shall labor and do all your work,

10 (Ex 34:21; Nu 15:32-36) but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the

Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son,

or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant,

or your livestock, or your sojourner who is within your gates.

11 (Ge 2:2-3; Ex 31:17) For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth,

the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day.

Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

[8] Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

[10] But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou

shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant,

nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy

gates:

[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that

in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the

sabbath day, and hallowed it.



12 (Lev 19:3; Lk 18:20) Honor your father and your mother,

that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.



[12] Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the

land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

A Day of rest is good for the soul)

[13] Thou shalt not kill.

Neither fornication)



15 (Lev 19:11; 19:13) You shall not steal.



[15] Thou shalt not steal.



(Never be a thief)

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland



Ps 1:3



He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

that brings forth its fruit in its season;

its leaf will not wither,

and whatever he does will prosper.



3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

His leaf also shall not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.



5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Angry or Vengeful



James 1:19-25



Hearing and Doing the Word



19 Therefore, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, and slow to anger,

20 for the anger of man does not work the righteousness of God.

21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and remaining

wickedness and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able

to save your souls.

22 Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man

viewing his natural face in a mirror.

24 He views himself, and goes his way,

and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

25 But whoever looks into

the perfect law of liberty, and continues in it,

and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,

this man will be blessed in his deeds.



19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear,

slow to speak, slow to wrath:

20 for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness,

and receive with meekness the engrafted word,

which is able to save your souls.

22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only,

deceiving your own selves.

23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer,

he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway

forgetteth what manner of man he was.

25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty,

and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer,

but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13





9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)



Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.



Adding further



30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

Exodus 18

[1] When Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father in law, heard of all

that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, and that the LORD

had brought Israel out of Egypt;

[2] Then Jethro, Moses' father in law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife, after he

had sent her back,

[3] And her two sons; of which the name of the one was Gershom; for he said,

I have been an alien in a strange land:

[4] And the name of the other was Eliezer; for the God of my father, said

he, was mine help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh:

[5] And Jethro, Moses' father in law, came with his sons and his wife unto

Moses into the wilderness, where he encamped at the mount of God:

[6] And he said unto Moses, I thy father in law Jethro am come unto thee,

and thy wife, and her two sons with her.

[7] And Moses went out to meet his father in law, and did obeisance, and

kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare; and they came into

the tent.

[8] And Moses told his father in law all that the LORD had done unto Pharaoh

and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had come

upon them by the way, and how the LORD delivered them.

[9] And Jethro rejoiced for all the goodness which the LORD had done to

Israel, whom he had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

[10] And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the

hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered

the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

[11] Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing

wherein they dealt proudly he was above them.

[12] And Jethro, Moses' father in law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices

for God: and Aaron came, and all the elders of Israel, to eat bread with

Moses' father in law before God.

[13] And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses sat to judge the people:

and the people stood by Moses from the morning unto the evening.

[14] And when Moses' father in law saw all that he did to the people, he

said, What is this thing that thou doest to the people? why sittest thou

thyself alone, and all the people stand by thee from morning unto even?

[15] And Moses said unto his father in law, Because the people come unto me

to inquire of God:

[16] When they have a matter, they come unto me; and I judge between one and

another, and I do make them know the statutes of God, and his laws.

[17] And Moses' father in law said unto him, The thing that thou doest is

not good.

[18] Thou wilt surely wear away, both thou, and this people that is with

thee: for this thing is too heavy for thee; thou art not able to perform it

thyself alone.

[19] Hearken now unto my voice, I will give thee counsel, and God shall be

with thee: Be thou for the people to Godward, that thou mayest bring the

causes unto God:

[20] And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt shew them the

way wherein they must walk, and the work that they must do.

[21] Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as

fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them, to be

rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers

of tens:

[22] And let them judge the people at all seasons: and it shall be, that

every great matter they shall bring unto thee, but every small matter they

shall judge: so shall it be easier for thyself, and they shall bear the

burden with thee.

[23] If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt

be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in

peace.

[24] So Moses hearkened to the voice of his father in law, and did all that

he had said.

[25] And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over

the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and

rulers of tens.

[26] And they judged the people at all seasons: the hard causes they brought

unto Moses, but every small matter they judged themselves.

[27] And Moses let his father in law depart; and he went his way into his

own land.

Treasure Stored in Heaven by Kenneth Petersen



1 Timothy 6:6-12, 17-19



False Teaching and True Wealth



6 (1Ti 4:8; Heb 13:5) But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7 (Job 1:21; Ps 49:17) For we brought nothing into this world,

and it is certain that we can carry nothing out.

8 (Ge 28:20) If we have food and clothing, we shall be content with

these things.

9 (Pr 15:27; 1Ti 3:7) But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation

and a snare and into many foolish and harmful lusts, which drown men

in ruin and destruction.

10 (Dt 16:19) For the love of money is the root of all evil.

While coveting after money, some have strayed from the faith

and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.



[6] But godliness with contentment is great gain.

[7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry

nothing out.

[8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

[9] But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into

many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and

perdition.

[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted

after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with

many sorrows.



The Good Fight of Faith



11 (2Ti 2:22; 3:17) But you, O man of God, escape these things, and follow

after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.

12 (1Ti 1:18; 1Co 9:25-66) Fight the good fight of faith. Lay hold

on eternal life, to which you are called and have professed

a good profession before many witnesses.

17 (Ro 11:20; 1Ti 4:10) Command those who are rich in this world that

they not be conceited, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,

who richly gives us all things to enjoy.

18 (Ro 12:8; 12:13) Command that they do good, that they be rich in good

works, generous, willing to share,

19 (Lk 16:9; 1Ti 6:12) and laying up in store for themselves a good

foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of eternal life.

20 (Col 2:8; 2Ti 2:16) O Timothy, guard that which is committed to your trust.

Avoid profane babblings and opposing views from so-called knowledge.

21 (2Ti 2:18; Col 4:18) By professing it, some have erred concerning

the faith.

Grace be with you. Amen.



[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after

righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

[12] Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou

art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

[17] Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded,

nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly

all things to enjoy;

[18] That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to

distribute, willing to communicate;

[19] Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to

come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

[20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane

and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

[21] Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with

thee. Amen.



It's common for those who are traveling overseas for the first time to pack a

lot of stuff. The fear is being so far from home and needing something. But a

recent article speaks of the problems of overpacking. It advises leaving

behind shampoo and hair dryers (which most hotels have) and not bringing

extra shoes and books, which are bulky and heavy. The writer notes that when

you wind up lugging heavy luggage over Europe's cobblestone streets,

you'll wish you didn't bring so much with you.



In a way, it's an apt metaphor for the travel advice the apostle Paul

provides: "We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of

it" (1 Timothy 6:7). He ties this to the problem of possessing too much:

"Those who want to get rich fall into temptation," and he warns that extra

baggage is "a trap" leading to "ruin and destruction" (v. 9). People of faith

have a different travel destination where all that's needed is provided by

God-"everything for our enjoyment" (v. 17).



It might be good for us today to remember that what we accumulate in life is

meaningless. We can't take it with us. By being "generous and willing to

share" (v. 18), Paul says we "lay up treasure . . . for the coming age." This

is the best travel tip of all, the secret

to "life that is truly life" (v. 19).



Reflect & Pray



How might you "pack less" for eternity?

What treasure might you store up for heaven?



Dear God, please help me to change anything

unhealthy in my relationship with things and possessions.

Help me to be generous with others.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 4 Under the Mercy



Ps 13:5-6



5 I for my part confide in Your kindness;may my heart exult in Your salvation!

6 I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.



5 But I have trusted in thy mercy; My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.



In Sheldon Vanauken's book "A Severe Mercy", Vanauken faced the "severe mercy"

of the untimely death of his wife. His friend C. S. Lewis , who had endured a

similar grief , comforted him through letters,

encouraging him with the exhotation, "Go under the Mercy".

While God's grace deals with sin and forgiveness,

God's mercy deals with the pain pf human existence. We all experience pain

- sometimes as a natural result of wrongs we have done, sometimes unfairly

as a consequence of living in a fallen world.

But for all who hurt, God provides

mercy - respite from pain, and the assurance of a Lord who cares.

David , in Psalm 13 says " I trust in your mercy, your unfailing love."

God's love never fail us, no matter how much we may have failed him.

David knew the consequences of sin; he knew what it meant to fail God,

to rebel against God's faithfulness. Yet David trusted in God's Goodness

rather than depending upon his own; he focused his attention upon the

mercy of the Lord.

We need, like David, to "Go under the mercy", even when it is a

"severe mercy."

Even when circumstances seem bad; even when things seem out of control; even

when we think God has forsaken us, yet his mercy is at work to bring us

fulfillment and cause us to turn to him

with a song of praise on our lips.

merciful intervention in my life even when circumstances seem

EXODUS 17



Water From the Rock



1 (Ex 16:1; 19:2)All the congregation of the children of Israel

journeyed from the Wilderness of Sin, from place to place,

according to the commandment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim,

but there was no water for the people to drink.

2 (Dt 6:16; Ps 78:18) Therefore the people contended with Moses and said,

"Give us water so that we may drink."

And Moses said to them,

"Why do you contend with me? Why do you test the Lord?"

3 (Ex 16:2-3) But the people thirsted there for water,

and the people murmured against Moses, and said,

"Why is it that you have brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us

and our children and our livestock with thirst?"

4 (Nu 14:10; 1Sa 30:6) Then Moses cried out to the Lord, saying,

"What shall I do to this people? They are almost ready to stone me."

5 The Lord said to Moses, "Pass over before the people,

and take with you some of the elders of Israel.

And take in your hand your rod with which you struck the Nile, and go.

6 (Ps 114:8; 1Co 10:4) Indeed, I will stand before you there on the rock

in Horeb, and you shall strike the rock,

and there water shall come out of it, so that the people may drink."

Then Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

7 (Nu 20:13; Ps 81:7) He called the name of the place Massah,

and Meribah, because of the contending of the children of Israel,

and because they tested the Lord, saying, "Is the Lord among us, or not?"



[1] And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the

wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the

LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to

drink.

[2] Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that

we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do

ye tempt the LORD?

[3] And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against

Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of

Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst?

[4] And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people?

they be almost ready to stone me.

[5] And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with

thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river,

take in thine hand, and go.

[6] Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou

shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people

may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

[7] And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the

chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD,

saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?



The Amalekites Defeated



8 (Ge 36:12; 1Sa 15:2) Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

9 (Ex 4:20; 24:13) So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us and go out,

fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with

the rod of God in my hand."

10 (Ex 24:14) So Joshua did as Moses had said to him

and fought against Amalek. And Moses, Aaron,

and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

11 (1Ti 2:8; Jas 5:16) Now when Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed,

but when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

12 (Isa 35:3) But Moses' hands became heavy. So they took a stone,

and put it under him, and he sat on it.

And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side,

and the other on the other side.

And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.

(Support is always great to have)

13 So Joshua laid low Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

14 (Ex 34:27; 1Sa 30:17) Then the Lord said to Moses, "Write this as

a memorial in a book and rehearse it to Joshua,

for I will utterly wipe out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven."

15 (Ge 22:14; Jdg 6:24) Then Moses built an altar and called the name of it,

The Lord Is My Banner;

16 for he said, "For the Lord has sworn that the Lord will have

war with Amalek from generation to generation."



[8] Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

[9] And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with

Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in

mine hand.

[10] So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and

Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

[11] And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel

prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.

[12] But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under

him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on

the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady

until the going down of the sun.

[13] And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the

sword.

[14] And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and

rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the

remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.

[15] And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi:

[16] For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war

with Amalek from generation to generation.



EXODUS 18



Jethro Counsels Moses



1 (Ex 2:16; 3:1) Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law,

heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel His people,

and that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt.

2 (Ex 2:21) Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zipporah, Moses' wife,

after he had sent her back,

3 (Ex 2:22; Ac 7:29; Ex 4:20) and her two sons, one of whom was named Gershom;

for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."

4 And the name of the other was Eliezer, for he said, "The God of my father

was my help, and He delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."

5 (Ex 3:1; 3:12) Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons

and his wife to Moses in the wilderness, where he camped at the mountain

of God.

6 And he said to Moses, "I, your father-in-law, Jethro, am coming to you,

and your wife, and her two sons with her."

7 (Ge 29:13; 14:17) Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law,

and bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of the other's

welfare, and then they went into the tent.

8 (Nu 20:14; Ne 9:9-15) Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord

had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake,

and all the hardships that had come on them along the way,

and how the Lord delivered them.

9 Jethro rejoiced because of all the goodness which the Lord had

done for Israel, whom He had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians.

10 (Ge 14:20; 2Sa 18:28) Jethro said, "The Lord be blessed, who has delivered

you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who

has delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians.

11 (2Ch 2:5; Lk 1:51) Now I know that the Lord is greater than all gods,

for in the matter in which they treated the people insolently,

He was above them."

12 (Ge 31:54; Dt 12:7) Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law,

took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God,

and Aaron and all the elders of Israel came to eat bread with

Moses' father-in-law before God.

13 On the next day, Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood

around Moses from the morning until the evening.

14 When Moses' father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people,

he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people?

Why are you sitting by yourself while all the people stand

around you from morning until evening?"

15 (Nu 15:34; 27:5) Then Moses said to his father-in-law,

"Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

16 (Ex 24:14; Dt 4:5) When they have a dispute, it comes to me,

and I judge between a man and his neighbor,

and I make known the statutes of God and His laws."

17 Moses' father-in-law said to him, "What you are doing is not good.

18 You will surely wear yourself out, both you,

and these people who are with you,

for this thing is too heavy for you.

You are not able to do it by yourself.

19 (Nu 27:5; Ex 3:12) Now listen to me, I will advise you,

and may God be with you:

You be a representative for the people to God

so that you may bring their disputes to God.

20 (Dt 1:18; Ps 143:8) And you shall teach them the statutes and laws

and shall show them the way in which they must walk and the work

that they must do.

21 (2Ch 19:5-10; Ac 6:3) Moreover, you shall choose out of all the people

capable men who fear God, men of truth, hating dishonest gain,

and place these men over them, to be rulers of thousands,

rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

22 (Nu 11:17; Ex 18:26) Let them judge the people at all times,

and let it be that every difficult matter they shall bring to you,

but every small matter they shall judge, so that it will be easier for you,

and they will bear the burden with you.

23 (Ex 18:18) If you shall do this thing and God commands you so,

then you will be able to endure,

and all these people also will go to their place in peace."

(And so start a justice system of elders)

24 So Moses listened to his father-in-law

and did everything that he had said.

25 (Dt 1:15; Ex 18:21) Moses chose capable men out of all Israel

and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands,

rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

26 (Ex 18:22) They judged the people at all times.

They brought the difficult cases to Moses,

but they judged every small matter themselves.

27 (Nu 10:29-30) Moses sent out his father-in-law,

and he went his way to his own land.

1) Exodus 16, Exodus 17, Exodus 18



EXODUS 16



Bread and Quail



1 (Nu 33:10-12) Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of

the children of Israel came to the Wilderness of Sin, which is between

Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their

departing out of the land of Egypt.

2 (Ex 15:24; 1Co 10:10) The whole congregation of the children of Israel

murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness.

3 (La 4:9; Ex 17:3) Now the children of Israel said to them, "Would to

God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt,

when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full,

for you have brought us forth into this wilderness to kill this whole

assembly with hunger." (Whine and Cry impatiently)

4 (Ex 15:25; Ps 78:24-25) Then the Lord said to Moses,

"Indeed, I will rain bread from heaven for you. And the people shall

go out and gather a certain amount every day, that I may test them,

whether they will walk in My law or not.

5 And it shall come to pass that on the sixth day they shall prepare

that which they bring in, and it will be twice as much as they gather daily."

6 (Ex 6:7; 16:12-13) So Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel,

"At evening, you shall know that the Lord has brought you out from

the land of Egypt.

7 (Nu 16:11; Ex 16:10) And in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord,

because He hears your murmurings against the Lord. And what are

we that you murmur against us?"

8 (1Sa 8:7; Ro 13:2) Then Moses said, "This will happen when the Lord

gives you meat to eat in the evening and bread in the morning to satisfy,

for the Lord hears your murmurings which you murmur against Him.

And what are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against the Lord."

9 (Nu 16:16) Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation

of the children of Israel, 'Come near before the Lord, for He has

heard your murmurings.'"

10 (Ex 16:7; Nu 16:19) So as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation

of the children of Israel, they looked toward the wilderness,

and indeed, the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud.

11 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

12 (Ex 6:7; Joel 3:17) "I have heard the murmurings

of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, 'In the evening

you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread.

And you shall know that I am the Lord your God.' "

13 (Nu 11:9; Ps 78:27-28) So in the evening the quail came up

and covered the camp, and in the morning a layer of dew

was surrounding the camp.

14 (Nu 11:7-9; Ps 105:40) When the layer of dew evaporated,

on the surface of the wilderness there lay a small flaky thing,

as fine as the frost on the ground.

15 (Ex 16:4; Dt 8:3) When the children of Israel saw it, they said one

to another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was.

And Moses said to them, "This is the bread which the Lord has

given you to eat.

16 (Ex 16:36) This is what the Lord has commanded, 'Every man is

to gather of it according to what he will eat, an omer

(About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters. )

for every man, according to the number of your people.

Every man should take for them for whoever lives in his tent.'"

17 The children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

18 When they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had

nothing left over, and he that gathered little had no lack.

They gathered every man according what he could eat.

19 (Ex 12:10; 23:18) Moses said to them,

"Let no man leave any of it until the morning."

20 However, they did not listen to Moses, and some of them left part of it

until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank,

and Moses was angry with them.

21 So they gathered it every morning, every man according

to what he could eat. And when the sun got hot, it melted.

22 (Ex 16:5) Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread,

two omers (Likely about 6 pounds, or 2.8 kilograms.) per man,

and then all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses.

23 (Lev 23:3; Ex 20:8-11) He said to them, "This is what the Lord has said,

'Tomorrow is the Sabbath, a holy Sabbath to the Lord.

Bake that which you will bake today, and boil that you will boil,

and all that which remains over lay up for yourselves to be kept

until the morning.'"

24 (Ex 16:20) So they laid it up until the morning, just as Moses commanded,

and it did not stink, nor was there any worm in it.

25 (Ex 16:23) Moses said, "Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to the Lord.

Today you will not find it in the field.

26 Six days you shall gather it, but on the seventh day,

the Sabbath, there will be none."

27 It happened that some of the people went out on

the seventh day to gather, but they found nothing.

28 (Ps 78:10; 2Ki 17:14) Then the Lord said to Moses,

"How long will you refuse to keep My commandments and My instructions?

29 See, the Lord has given you the Sabbath;

therefore He gives you bread for two days

on the sixth day. Every man remain in his place.

Let no man go out of his place on the seventh day."

30 So the people rested on the seventh day.

31 (Ex 16:15) The house of Israel named it manna, and it was

like coriander seed and was white,

and its taste was like wafers made with honey.

32 Then Moses said, "This is what the Lord has commanded,

'Fill an omer of it to be kept for your generations to come,

so that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness,

when I brought you forth from the land of Egypt.'"

33 (Heb 9:4) Moses said to Aaron, "Take a pot

and put an omer full of manna in it, and place it before the Lord,

to be kept for generations to come."

34 (Ex 25:16; 25:21) As the Lord commanded Moses, so Aaron placed it

before the testimony, to be kept.

35 (Jos 5:12; Ne 9:20-21) The children of Israel ate manna forty years,

until they came to an inhabited land.

They ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

36 (Ex 16:16) Now an omer is one-tenth of an ephah.



Exodus 16

[1] And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the

children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim

and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing

out of the land of Egypt.

[2] And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against

Moses and Aaron in the wilderness:

[3] And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by

the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots,

and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into

this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.

[4] Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for

you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I

may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

[5] And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that

which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

[6] And Moses and Aaron said unto all the children of Israel, At even, then

ye shall know that the LORD hath brought you out from the land of Egypt:

[7] And in the morning, then ye shall see the glory of the LORD; for that he

heareth your murmurings against the LORD: and what are we, that ye murmur

against us?

[8] And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the

evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that the

LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him: and what are we?

your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.

[9] And Moses spake unto Aaron, Say unto all the congregation of the

children of Israel, Come near before the LORD: for he hath heard your

murmurings.

[10] And it came to pass, as Aaron spake unto the whole congregation of the

children of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and, behold, the

glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

[11] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[12] I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them,

saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled

with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.

[13] And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up, and covered the

camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host.

[14] And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the

wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the

ground.

[15] And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is

manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the

bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.

[16] This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man

according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of

your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents.

[17] And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less.

[18] And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had

nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every

man according to his eating.

[19] And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning.

[20] Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of

it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with

them.

[21] And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating:

and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

[22] And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much

bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came

and told Moses.

[23] And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow

is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake

to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up

for you to be kept until the morning.

[24] And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not

stink, neither was there any worm therein.

[25] And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD:

to day ye shall not find it in the field.

[26] Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the

sabbath, in it there shall be none.

[27] And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the

seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

[28] And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my

commandments and my laws?

[29] See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore he giveth

you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place,

let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.

[30] So the people rested on the seventh day.

[31] And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna: and it was like

coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.

[32] And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commandeth, Fill an

omer of it to be kept for your generations; that they may see the bread

wherewith I have fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you forth from

the land of Egypt.

[33] And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a pot, and put an omer full of manna

therein, and lay it up before the LORD, to be kept for your generations.

[34] As the LORD commanded Moses, so Aaron laid it up before the Testimony,

to be kept.

[35] And the children of Israel did eat manna forty years, until they came

to a land inhabited; they did eat manna, until they came unto the borders of

the land of Canaan.

[36] Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as high as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discipleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congregations, and equally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

The Song of Miriam



20 (Jdg 11:34; 1Sa 18:6; Nu 26:59) Miriam the prophetess,

the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand,

and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dancing.

21 (Ex 15:1) Miriam answered them,

"Sing to the Lord,

for He triumphed gloriously!

The horse and his rider

He has hurled into the sea."



[20] And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her

hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

[21] And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed

gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.



The Waters of Marah and Elim



22 (Ge 16:7; 25:18) Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea,

and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur,

and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water.

23 (Nu 33:8; Ru 1:20) When they came to Marah,

they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter.

Therefore, the name of it was called Marah.

24 (Ex 16:2; 14:11) So the people murmured against Moses,

saying, "What shall we drink?"

25 (Ex 14:10; Jdg 3:4) And he cried to the Lord, and the Lord showed him

a tree. When he had thrown it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.

There He made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there He tested them.

26 (Dt 7:15; Ex 23:25; Dt 28:60) He said, "If you diligently listen

to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in His sight,

and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes,

I will not afflict you with any of the diseases with which

I have afflicted the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you."

27 (Nu 33:9) Then they came to Elim,

where there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees,

and they camped there by the waters.



[22] So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the

wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no

water.

[23] And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of

Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah.

[24] And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?

he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for

them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them,

[26] And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy

God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his

commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases

upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that

healeth thee.

Haggai 2:1-9



The Future Glory of the Temple



1 (Hag 1:1) In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month,

the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying:

2 (Hag 1:1) Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah,

and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant

of the people, saying:

3 (Ezr 3:12) Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory?

How do you see it now? Is it not, in your eyes, as nothing in comparison?

4 (Zec 8:9; 2Sa 5:10) Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord,

and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong all you

people of the land, says the Lord. Work, for I am with you, says the Lord

of Hosts.

5 (Ne 9:20; Ex 29:45-46) According to the covenant that I made with you

when you came out of Egypt, so My Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.

6 (Isa 10:25; 29:17) For thus says the Lord of Hosts: Once more,

in a little while, I will shake the heavens and earth, the sea and dry land.

7 (1Ki 8:11; Isa 60:7) And I will shake all the nations, and they will come

with the wealth of all nations, and I will fill this house with glory,

says the Lord of Hosts.

8 (Isa 60:17) The silver is mine, and the gold is Mine,

says the Lord of Hosts.

9 (Isa 9:6-7) The glory of this latter house will be greater than the former,

says the Lord of Hosts. And in this place I will give peace,

says the Lord of Hosts.



[1] In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came

the word of the LORD by the prophet Haggai, saying,

[2] Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to

Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the

people, saying,

[3] Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do

ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?

[4] Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the LORD; and be strong, O

Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of

the land, saith the LORD, and work: for I am with you, saith the LORD of

hosts:

[5] According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of

Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not.

[6] For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I

will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;

[7] And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come:

and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.

[8] The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.

[9] The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former,

saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD

of hosts.



At least he passed, Jess thought, holding the test paper. He'd been helping

his son with math, but with house chores and extra work from his boss lately,

studying together had been tough. Discouraged, Jess thought of his wife,

who'd passed away: Lisa, you'd know what to do.

I'm not as good a keeper of the home as you were.



On a bigger scale, such discouragement may well have been what Zerubbabel

felt. The governor of Judah had been called by God to lead the Israelites in

rebuilding the temple after captivity in Babylon. When they'd laid the

foundation, "many . . . who had seen the former temple, wept aloud"

(Ezra 3:12). The memory of Solomon's glorious temple lingered again now, as

construction of a smaller structure resumed. Ours isn't as good, everyone,

including Zerubbabel, must've thought.



"But now be strong, Zerubbabel," God said, as He did to all involved: "I am

with you . . . my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear" (Haggai 2:4-5).

Zerubbabel could take heart in God's guiding presence, bound by His covenant

with them (v. 5). Also, "The glory of this present house will be greater,"

God said (v. 9), pointing to when Jesus

Himself would visit the temple (John 2:13-25).



We may feel discouraged in a task God calls us to do, comparing our results

with those of another season. Let's focus on His plan for this season,

because the work and its purpose are His, not our own.



Reflect & Pray



What task has God given you? How can You focus on Him while carrying it out?



Dear God, please help me as I embrace the task You've called me to do.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 3 The song of Exaltation



Exodus 15:2



2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise Him; my father's God, and I will exalt Him.



2 The LORD is my strength and song, And he is become my salvation:

He is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation;

My father's God, and I will exalt him.



The world is full of music that communicates human emotion:

love, joy, sadness, separation.

A love song makes us misty-eyed; a song of protest arouses anger; a song

describing loss stimulates feelings of hurt and abandonment.

Music is a powerful force to sway the human spirit.

Exodus 15:2 indicates that God should be the source of the songs in our hearts.

Human emotions vacillate; human relationships disappoint,

but God is our "strength" and our "song".

To exalt the Lord includes many different type of "songs".

"I can't carry a tune in a bucket," one woman complained.

"How can I sing to the Lord anything that will be pleasing to him?"

But the Lord does not delight in the professionalism of our songs,

but in the motivation of our hearts. We can "sing to the Lord"

when we enjoy a Bach organ piece played for his glory.

We can exalt him in the words of Scripture - either remembered or sung.

We can worship him by enjoying the songs of others.

The key to making the Lord our song is exaltation. When our thoughts

lift him up in praise, we are singing a song of exaltation to the Lord.

When God is exalted in our songs, in our hearts, and in our thoughts,

that focus gives strength to our lives. We can face the difficulties

that are an inevitable part of experience,

because God is our "strength and our song".



Application



a) What is the difference between a song that is professionally performed

and one that exalts the Lord?



b) What practical steps can I take to

make my daily life a "song of praise" to God?

25 (Ex 14:14) He removed their chariot wheels,

so that they drove them with difficulty,

and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the face of Israel,

for the Lord is fighting for them against Egypt."

26 (Ex 14:16) Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand

over the sea, so that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians,

upon their chariots, and their horsemen."

27 (Jos 4:18; Ps 78:53) So Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea,

and the sea returned to its normal place when the morning appeared,

while the Egyptians fled against it, so the Lord overthrew the Egyptians

in the midst of the sea.

28 (Ps 78:53; Hab 3:8-10) The waters returned and covered the chariots,

and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that

came into the sea after them.

There remained not so much as one of them.

29 (Ex 14:22) But the children of Israel walked on dry land

in the midst of the sea. And the waters were a wall to them

on their right hand and on their left.

30 (Ps 106:8; 106:10) Thus the Lord saved Israel that day

from the hand of the Egyptians,

and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the seashore.

31 (Jn 2:11; 11:45) When Israel saw the great power which the Lord

used upon the Egyptians, the people feared the Lord,

and they believed in the Lord and in His servant Moses.



Exodus 14

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before

Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baal-zephon: before it

shall ye encamp by the sea.

[3] For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in

the land, the wilderness hath shut them in.

[4] And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and

I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians

may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.

[5] And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of

Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said,

Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

[6] And he made ready his chariot, and took his people with him:

[7] And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt,

and captains over every one of them.

[8] And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued

after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an

high hand.

[9] But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of

Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the

sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

[10] And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their

eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore

afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.

[11] And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast

thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus

with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt?

[12] Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us

alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to

serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness.

[13] And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the

salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians

whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.

[14] The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

[15] And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto

the children of Israel, that they go forward:

[16] But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and

divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the

midst of the sea.

[17] And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they

shall follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his

host, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

[18] And the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gotten me

honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.

[19] And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and

went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face,

and stood behind them:

[20] And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel;

and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to

these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

[21] And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the

sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry

land, and the waters were divided.

[22] And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry

ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on

their left.

[23] And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the

sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

[24] And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the

host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and

troubled the host of the Egyptians,

[25] And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so

that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD

fighteth for them against the Egyptians.

[26] And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that

the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon

their horsemen.

[27] And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned

to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against

it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

[28] And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen,

and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there

remained not so much as one of them.

[29] But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the

sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their

left.

[30] Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians;

and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.

[31] And Israel saw that great work which the LORD did upon the Egyptians:

and the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD, and his servant

Moses.

EXODUS 15



A Song of Moses



1 (Ps 106:12; Rev 15:3) Then Moses and the children of Israel sang

this song to the Lord and spoke, saying:

"I will sing to the Lord,

for He has triumphed gloriously!

He has thrown the horse and his rider

into the sea!

2 (Isa 12:2; Ex 3:15-16 )The Lord is my strength and song,

and He has become my salvation.

He is my God, and I will praise Him;

my father's God, and I will exalt Him.

3 (Ps 24:8; 83:18 ) The Lord is a man of war;

the Lord is His name.

4 Pharaoh's chariots and his army

He has thrown into the sea;

his chosen captains also

are drowned in the Red Sea.

5 (Ne 9:11; Ex 14:28 )The depths have covered them;

they sank to the bottom like a stone.

6 (Ps 118:15-16; 2:9) "Your right hand, O Lord,

is glorious in power.

Your right hand, O Lord,

shatters the enemy.

7 (Isa 5:24; Dt 33:26) In the greatness of Your excellence,

You overthrow those who rise up against You.

You send out Your wrath;

it consumes them like stubble.

8 (Ps 78:13; Ex 14:21-22) With the blast of Your nostrils

the waters were gathered together.

The flowing waters stood upright as a heap;

and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.

9 (Jdg 5:30; Isa 53:12) "The enemy said,

'I will pursue. I will overtake.

I will divide the spoil;

my lust shall be satisfied upon them.

I will draw my sword,

my hand shall destroy them.'

10 (Ex 14:21; 15:5 ) You blew with Your wind,

and the sea covered them;

they sank like lead

in the mighty waters.

11 (Dt 3:24; Isa 6:3 ) "Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods?

Who is like You,

glorious in holiness,

fearful in praises,

doing wonders?

12 You stretched out Your right hand,

and the earth swallowed them.

13 (Ps 77:20) "In Your mercy You have led

the people whom You have redeemed;

You have guided them by Your strength

to Your holy dwelling.

14 (Nu 14:14; Dt 2:25) The peoples have heard and are afraid;

sorrow has taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia.

15 (Jos 5:1; 2:9) Then the chiefs of Edom were amazed;

the mighty men of Moab, trembling takes hold of them;

all the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.

16 (Ps 74:2; Dt 2:25) Fear and dread fall upon them;

by the greatness of Your arm

they are as still as a stone,

until Your people pass over, O Lord,

until the people whom You have purchased pass over.

17 (Ps 44:2; 80:8) You shall bring them in, and plant them

on the mountain of Your inheritance,

in the place, O Lord, which You have made for Your dwelling,

in the sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.

18 (Ps 10:16; 29:10) The Lord will reign

forever and ever."

19 (Ex 14:28-29) For the horses of Pharaoh went in with his chariots

and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought back the waters

of the sea upon them, but the children of Israel walked

on dry land in the midst of the sea.



[1] Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and

spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously:

the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

[2] The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is

my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will

exalt him.

[3] The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.

[4] Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen

captains also are drowned in the Red sea.

[5] The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

[6] Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O

LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.

[7] And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that

rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as

stubble.

[8] And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together,

the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the

heart of the sea.

[9] The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil;

my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall

destroy them.

[10] Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead

in the mighty waters.

[11] Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee,

glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

[12] Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.

[13] Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed:

thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

[14] The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the

inhabitants of Palestina.

[15] Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab,

trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall

melt away.

[16] Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they

shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O LORD, till the

people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

[17] Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine

inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which thou hast made for thee to dwell

in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

[18] The LORD shall reign for ever and ever.

[19] For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his

horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon

them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea.

1) Exodus 13, Exodus 14, Exodus 15



EXODUS 13



Consecration of the Firstborn



1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Nu 3:13; Dt 15:19) Sanctify unto Me all the firstborn,

the firstborn of every womb among the children of Israel,

both of man and of beast. It is Mine.



[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

[2] Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among

the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.



( THE Lord's not the Church)



The Feast of Unleavened Bread



3 (Ex 6:1; Dt 16:3) Moses said to the people,

"Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt,

out of the house of bondage, for by strength of hand the Lord brought

you out from this place. Nothing leavened shall be eaten.

4 (Ex 23:15; 34:18) On this day, you are going out, in the month of Aviv.

5 (Ex 3:8; 6:8; 12:25-26) It shall be when the Lord brings you into

the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites

and the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers

to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep

this ceremony in this month.

6 (Ex 12:15 -20) Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread,

and on the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.

7 (Ex 12:19) Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days. And there

shall be no leavened bread seen among you, nor shall there be leaven

seen among you in all your borders.

8 (Ex 13:14; Ps 44:1) You shall declare to your son on that day, saying,

- 'This is done because of that which the Lord did for me

when I came forth out of Egypt.'

9 (Dt 6:8; Ex 12:14) It shall be as a sign to you on your hand

and as a memorial on your forehead, in order that the Lord's law

may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the Lord brought

you out of Egypt.

10 (Ex 12:14) You shall, therefore, keep this ordinance

at its appointed time from year to year.



[3] And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out

from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD

brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.

[4] This day came ye out in the month Abib.

[5] And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the

Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the

Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with

milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

[6] Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall

be a feast to the LORD.

[7] Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened

bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all

thy quarters.

[8] And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of

that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.

[9] And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial

between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy mouth: for with a

strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

[10] Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to

year.



The Law of the Firstborn



11 "It shall be when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,

just as He swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it you,

12 (Nu 18:15; Ex 34:19; Lev 27:26) that you shall set apart to the Lord

the first offspring of every womb and

the first offspring of every beast which you have.

The males shall be the Lord's.

13 (Ex 34:20; Nu 18:15-17) But every first offspring of a donkey

you shall redeem with a lamb.

And if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck,

and all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

14 (Jos 4:6; Ex 13:3) "It shall be when your son asks you in time to come,

saying, 'What is this?' that you shall say to him, 'With a strong hand

the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.

15 (Ex 12:29) And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go,

that the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,

both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast.

Therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring

of every womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

16 (Ex 13:9; 13:14) It shall be as a sign on your hand

and as frontlets on your forehead,

for with a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt."



[11] And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the

Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it

thee,

[12] That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix,

and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall

be the LORD's.

[13] And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if

thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the

firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.

[14] And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What

is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought

us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:

[15] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the LORD

slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and

the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth

the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

[16] And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between

thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.



(Jesus was a firstborn to Mary and Joseph)



The Route of the Exodus



17 (Nu 14:1-4; Ex 14:11-12) Now when Pharaoh had let the people go,

God did not lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines,

although it was nearby. For God said, "Lest the people change their

minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt."

18 (Ex 14:2; Nu 33:6-8) Therefore, God led the people around,

through the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea,

and the children of Israel went up prepared for war out of the land of Egypt.

19 (Jos 24:32; Ac 7:16) Moses took the bones of Joseph with him,

for he had made the children of Israel solemnly swear, saying,

"God will surely attend to you,

and you shall carry my bones away from here with you."

20 They took their journey from Sukkoth and camped in Etham,

on the edge of the wilderness.

21 (Dt 1:33; Ne 9:12) The Lord went before them by day in

a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way,

and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light,

so that they might travel by day and by night.

22 He did not remove the pillar of cloud by day

or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.



[17] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led

them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was

near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war,

and they return to Egypt:

[18] But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the

Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of

Egypt.

[19] And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn

the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall

carry up my bones away hence with you.

[20] And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the

edge of the wilderness.

[21] And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead

them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by

day and night:

[22] He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire

by night, from before the people.



EXODUS 14



Crossing the Red Sea



1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 (Jer 44:1; Nu 33:7-8) Speak to the children of Israel, so that they turn

and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea,

before Baal Zephon. Opposite it you shall camp by the sea.

3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel,

"They are confused in the land. The wilderness has shut them in."

4 (Ex 7:5; Ro 9:17) So I will harden Pharaoh's heart,

so that he shall pursue them.

And I will be honored because of Pharaoh

and because of all his army,

so that the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord. And they did so.

5 (Ps 105:25) When it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled,

the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people,

and they said, "Why have we done this,

that we have let Israel go from serving us?"

6 So he made ready his chariot and took his people with him.

7 (Ex 15:4) And he took six hundred select chariots,

and all the chariots of Egypt, and officers over every one of them.

8 (Nu 33:3; Ac 13:17) The Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt,

and he pursued after the children of Israel. However, the children of Israel

went out with confidence.

9 (Ex 15:9; Jos 24:6) But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses

and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, a

nd overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

10 (Jos 24:7; Ne 9:9) When Pharaoh drew near,

the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and indeed,

the Egyptians were marching after them,

and they were extremely terrified,

so the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.

11 (Ps 106:7-8) Then they said to Moses,

"Is it because there were no graves in Egypt

that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?

Why have you dealt with us in this way, bringing us out of Egypt?

12 (Ex 5:21) Is not this the word that we spoke to you in Egypt,

saying, 'Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians'?

For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians

than to die in the wilderness."

(Oh how courage can melt away in the greatness of aversity)

13 (Ex 14:30; 2Ch 20:17; 20:15) But Moses said to the people,

"Fear not! Stand firm! And see the salvation of the Lord,

which He will show you today. For the Egyptians

whom you have seen today, you shall never see again.

14 (Ex 14:25; Dt 1:30) The Lord shall fight for you,

while you hold your peace."

(The Lord is always on our side fighting for us)

15 The Lord said to Moses, "Why do you cry out to Me?

Speak to the children of Israel, so that they go forward.

16 (Ex 4:17; 7:19) And as for you, lift up your rod,

and stretch out your hand over the sea, and divide it;

then the children of Israel shall go on dry ground

through the midst of the sea.

17 (Ex 14:4; 14:8) As for Me, surely,

I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians,

so that they shall follow them,

and I will be honored through Pharaoh,

through all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

18 (Ex 7:5) Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord

when I am honored through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."

19 (Ex 13:21-22; 32:34) Then the angel of God, which went

before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them,

and the pillar of the cloud moved before them and stood behind them.

20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel,

and there was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night.

Therefore, the one did not come near the other the entire night.

21 (Ex 15:8; Ps 74:13) Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea,

and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night,

and made the sea dry land, so that the waters were divided.

22 (Ex 15:19; Ps 66:6) The children of Israel went into the midst of the sea

on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand,

and on their left.

23 (Ex 14:17) Then the Egyptians pursued and went in after them into

the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots,

and his horsemen.

24 And in the morning watch the Lord looked down on the army of the Egyptians

through the pillar of fire and of the cloud

and threw the camp of the Egyptians into confusion.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:



When you are Impatient



James 5:7-11



Patience and Prayer



7 Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.

Notice how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth

and is patient with it until he receives the early and late rain.

8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts,

for the coming of the Lord is drawing near.

9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned.

Look, the Judge is standing at the door.

10 My brothers, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord,

as an example of suffering and patience.

11 Indeed we count them happy who endure.

You have heard of the patience of Job

and have seen the purpose of the Lord,

that the Lord is very gracious and merciful.



7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold,

the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long

patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord

draweth nigh.

9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:

behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord,

for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience

of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful,

and of tender mercy.



Remember God's promises when You pray



The Lord's prayer



Matthew 6:9-13



9 "Therefore pray in this manner:

Our Father who is in heaven,

hallowed be Your name.

10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;

Your will be done

on earth, as it is in heaven.

11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,

as we forgive our debtors.

13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."



9 After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.



6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)





Alberta



Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta



Alberta 2015 population 4121700



est Muslim Population 195240



CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton



It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .

Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.

Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's

become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.

Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the largest group

coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries

such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.

Muslims are coming to faith in Jesus! They overcome huge spiritual,

emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still

continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our

Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom

they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.



Please join us in praying for:

- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.

- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to

Muslim-background believers.

- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially

in their faith and the Church.

- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their

not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.

- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.

- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim

in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020



Under the Keep Praying page



When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month

and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days

of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that

usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,

of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be

decorated and festivals will be held.



For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the

distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of

Islam.



You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",

which means Blessed Eid!"



Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you

know, and Muslims around the world:



- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions

in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about

unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such

movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three

decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim

relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.

Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,

"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;

your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,

your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants

I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.

19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:

blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,

and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.

21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]



Footnotes

Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.

- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective

discipleship movements among Muslim people.

- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for

Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.

Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a

hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under

a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the

house."



Ideas for prayer



- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you

- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving

Christ among Muslim people -

Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims

throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!



My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further

call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity

(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

31 (Ex 10:9) Then he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said,

"Rise up, and get out from among my people,

both you and the children of Israel, and go,

serve the Lord, as you have said.

32 (Ex 10:26) Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said,

and be gone, and bless me also."

33 (Ps 105:38; Ex 11:1) The Egyptians urged the people, so that

they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said,

"We all will be dead."

34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened,

with their kneading troughs being bound up

in their clothes on their shoulders.

35 (Ex 3:21-22; 11:2-3) Now the children of Israel did according

to the word of Moses, and they requested of the Egyptians

articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing.

36 (Ge 15:14; Ex 3:21-22) And the Lord gave the people favor

in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave them

what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

37 (Ex 38:26; Nu 1:46) Then the children of Israel journeyed

from Rameses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot,

besides children.

38 (Nu 11:4) A mixed multitude also went up with them along

with flocks and herds, a large amount of livestock.

39 (Ex 6:1; 11:1) They baked unleavened cakes of the dough

which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened

because they were driven out of Egypt and could not linger,

nor had they prepared for themselves any food.

40 (Ge 15:13; Ac 7:6) Now the sojourning of the children of Israel

who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

41 And at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on the very day,

all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

42 (Dt 16:1-6) It is a night to be observed to the Lord for bringing

them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night for the Lord

to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.





[31] And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get

you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go,

serve the LORD, as ye have said.

[32] Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and

bless me also.

[33] And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send

them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

[34] And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their

kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

[35] And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they

borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

[36] And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so

that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the

Egyptians.

[37] And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six

hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.

[38] And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds,

even very much cattle.

[39] And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth

out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of

Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any

victual.

[40] Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was

four hundred and thirty years.

[41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years,

even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went

out from the land of Egypt.

[42] It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out

from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all

the children of Israel in their generations.

The Ordinance of Passover



43 (Ex 12:48; Nu 9:14) So the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:

This is the ordinance of the Passover:

No foreigner may eat of it.

44 (Ge 17:12-13) But every man's servant bought with money,

when you have circumcised him, may eat it.

45 (Lev 22:10) A foreigner or a hired servant shall not eat it.

46 (Nu 9:12; Jn 19:36; 19:33) In one house shall it be eaten.

You shall not carry any of the flesh outside of the house,

nor shall you break a bone of it.

47 (Ex 12:6; Nu 9:13) All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

48 (Nu 9:14; Ex 12:43) Now when a stranger sojourns with you

and keeps the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised,

and then let him come near and keep it.

And he shall be as one that is born in the land.

However, no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

49 (Nu 15:15-16; 15:29) The same law shall apply to him that is a native

and to the stranger who sojourns among you.

50 So all the children of Israel did it.

They did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.

51 (Ex 12:41) And that same day the Lord brought

the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.



[43] And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the

passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:

[44] But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast

circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.

[45] A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.

[46] In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the

flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

[47] All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

[48] And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover

to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near

and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no

uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

[49] One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that

sojourneth among you.

[50] Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and

Aaron, so did they.

[51] And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the

children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Following Jesus in Humility by Matt Lucas



Matthew 18:1-4



The Greatest in the Kingdom

Mk 9:33-37; Lk 9:46-48



1 (Mk 9:33-37; Lk 9:46-48) At that time the disciples came to ­Jes­us,

saying, "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

2 Jesus called a little child to Him and set him in their midst,

3 (1Pe 2:2; 1Co 14:20) and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are

converted and become like little children, you will not enter

the kingdom of heaven.

4 (Mt 23:11-12) Therefore whoever humbles himself like this little child

is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.



[1] At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the

greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

[2] And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of

them,

[3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as

little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same

is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.



Near our home is a famous garden where we often take walks with a young boy

our family cares for. His favourite area is the Children's Garden, which has a

small door large enough for him to run through but small enough to force me to

crouch. He laughs as I drop to my knees and wiggle through the small opening

to chase him.



The small garden gate reminds me of Jesus' object lesson in Matthew 18, where

He calls a little child to His side to explain the type of person who will

enter the kingdom of heaven (v. 2). It was a bold example, for in Christ's day

to be a child was to be inconsequential and overlooked. Unlike today, their

opinions and desires didn't matter. Jesus uses this description to highlight

our human tendency to be noticed and seek power and influence.



Of course, Jesus wasn’t asking His disciples to become children again but

rather pointing to the traits that mark those who serve him. The biggest

marker is humility - the person who "takes the lowly position"(v. 4)

and serves others.



The small garden door is a reminder that humility doesn't come naturally to

us. Believers in Jesus, however, are to be this way. We're to follow our

Saviour, who modeled this way of living by making "himself nothing by taking

the very nature of a servant" (Philippians 2:7).



Reflect & Pray



In what areas of your life do you thrust yourself to the forefront

and seek to be noticed? How can you learn to live more like Jesus?



Dear Father, please forgive me for my pride and self-interest.

Help me to be a little child who runs to You.

Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools



Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 2 The Wardrobe of Joy Isaiah 61:10



10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,

He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,

as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments,

and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.



10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God;

for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me

with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself

with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.



On her wedding day, the bride dresses carefully for the ceremony

that is about to take place. Never before has she spent so much

time in preparation for one relatively brief event. When she

looks in the mirror and rejoices in her happiness, she responds not

out of vanity, but for sheer joy as she anticipates the coming ceremony.

God wants his people, lie that bride to be joyful, to rejoice in the Lord,

the Bridegroom. And he gives, through his grace,

the garments of joy to his beloved ones.

He clothes us, Isaiah says, with salvation, and covers us with

the robe of righteousness. The wardrobe that God provides is not merely

a utility garment, a coverall that hides our sin from his eyes.

It is his own righteousness in Christ, given to us as a free gift, so that

we might be united with him. And God himself, Isaiah says,

is filled with joy, adorning himself like a bridegroom.

When we truly see God's immeasurable gift in accepting us as him own,

we also will "greatly rejoice" in the Lord. He, the eternal god,

Creator of the universe, desires to be united with us, as a husband

desires his wife! God does not simply accept us grudgingly,

reminding us of our unworthiness to be with him. Rather, he celebrates

with unrestrained joy his oneness in Spirit with those he calls his own.

And we, having been fully forgiven

and set free from sin, can rejoice unashamedly as well.

Exodus 11

[1] And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon

Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall

let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether.

[2] Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his

neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of

gold.

[3] And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians.

Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of

Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.

[4] And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into

the midst of Egypt:

[5] And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn

of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the

maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.

[6] And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as

there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more.

[7] But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his

tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a

difference between the Egyptians and Israel.

[8] And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down

themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow

thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great

anger.

[9] And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that

my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.

[10] And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD

hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go

out of his land.



EXODUS 12



The Passover Instituted



Lev 23:4-8; Nu 28:16-25; Dt 16:1-8



1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying:

2 (Dt 16:1; Ex 13:4; 23:15) This month shall be the beginning of months

to you. It shall be the first month of the year to you.

3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying:

On the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb,

according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a household.

4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him

and his neighbor next to his house take it according to

the number of the persons; according to what each man shall eat,

divide the lamb.

5 (Lev 23:12; Dt 17:1) Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male

of the first year. You shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats.

6 (Lev 23:5; Ex 16:12; Nu 28:16) You shall keep it up until the fourteenth

day of the same month, and then the whole assembly of the congregation

of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

7 They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two side posts

and on the upper doorpost of the houses in which they shall eat it.

8 (Ex 34:25; Dt 16:7) They shall eat the flesh on that night,

roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with unleavened bread

and bitter herbs.

9 (Ex 12:8; Dt 16:7) Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water,

but roasted with fire, its head with its legs and its entrails.

10 (Ex 23:18; 34:25; 29:34) And you shall let nothing of it remain

until the morning, but that of it which remains until the morning

you shall burn with fire.

11 (Ex 12:27; Eph 6:15) In this way shall you eat it: with your waist

girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand.

So you shall eat it in haste. It is the Lord's Passover.

12 (Ex 6:2; Nu 33:4) For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night

and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast,

and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment. I am the Lord.

13 (Heb 11:28) The blood shall be to you for a sign on the houses where

you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague

shall not be upon you to destroy you when I smite the land of Egypt.

14 (Ex 12:17; 12:24) This day shall be a memorial to you, and you shall

keep it as a feast to the Lord. Throughout your generations you shall

keep it a feast by an eternal ordinance.

15 (Dt 16:3; Ge 17:14; Ex 23:15) Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

On the first day you shall put away leaven out of your houses, for whoever

eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person

shall be cut off from Israel.

16 (Lev 23:7-8; Nu 28:18) On the first day there shall be a holy convocation,

and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you.

No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which every man

must eat - that only may be prepared for you.

17 (Ex 13:3) You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

For on this very day I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt.

Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations

as an ordinance forever.

18 (Ex 12:15; Lev 23:5-8) In the first month, on the fourteenth day

of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until

the twenty-first day of the month at evening.

19 (Ex 12:15; 12:48) Seven days shall there be no leaven found

in your houses, for whoever eats that which is leavened, that

person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,

whether he be a stranger or born in the land.

20 You shall eat nothing leavened.

In all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.

21 (Ex 12:3; Mk 14:12-16) Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel

and said to them, "Draw out and take for yourselves a lamb according

to your families and kill the Passover lamb.

22 (Heb 11:28; Ex 12:7) You shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it

in the blood that is in the basin, and apply the lintel and the two side

posts with the blood that is in the basin, and none of you shall go out

from the door of his house until the morning.

23 (Heb 11:28; Rev 7:3) For the Lord will pass through to kill the Egyptians.

And when He sees the blood upon the lintel and on the two side posts,

the Lord will pass over the door and will not permit the destroyer to come

to your houses to kill you.

24 (Ex 12:14) "And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance

to you and to your sons forever.

25 (Ex 3:8; 3:17) When you enter the land which the Lord will give you,

according as He has promised, that you shall observe this service.

26 (Ex 13:14-15; Dt 32:7) And when your children shall say to you,

'What does this service mean to you?'

27 (Ex 4:31; 12:11) that you shall say, 'It is the sacrifice

of the Lord's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children

of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians,

and delivered our households.' "

And the people bowed down and worshipped.

28 Then the children of Israel went and did so.

Just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.



[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

[2] This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the

first month of the year to you.

[3] Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day

of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the

house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

[4] And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his

neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls;

every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

[5] Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall

take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

[6] And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and

the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the

evening.

[7] And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts

and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

[8] And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and

unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

[9] Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire;

his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.

[10] And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which

remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

[11] And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your

feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the

LORD's passover.

[12] For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite

all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all

the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

[13] And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are:

and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be

upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

[14] And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a

feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by

an ordinance for ever.

[15] Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall

put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from

the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

[16] And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the

seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work

shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be

done of you.

[17] And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this

selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore

shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

[18] In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye

shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at

even.

[19] Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever

eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the

congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

[20] Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat

unleavened bread.

[21] Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,

Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the

passover.

[22] And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in

the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that

is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until

the morning.

[23] For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he

seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will

pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your

houses to smite you.

[24] And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy

sons for ever.

[25] And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD

will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this

service.

[26] And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What

mean ye by this service?

[27] That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD's passover, who

passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the

Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and

worshipped.

[28] And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded

Moses and Aaron, so did they.



The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn



29 (Ex 4:23; Ps 78:51) At midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn

in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne

to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon

and all the firstborn of livestock.

30 (Ex 11:6; Am 5:17) Pharaoh rose up in the night,

he and all his servants and all the Egyptians,

and there was a great cry in Egypt,

for there was not a house where there was not someone dead.



[29] And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn

in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharoah that sat on his throne

unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the

firstborn of cattle.

[30] And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the

Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house

where there was not one dead.
