The Book of Exodus

Posted by on


The Israelites prospered in Egypt, but a new king arose and forced them into hard labour. He commanded that their baby boys be killed.
Pharaoh's daughter found a Hebrew baby by the river. She named him Moses. As Moses grew up, seeing the suffering of his people, he tried to save them by himself, in one case he even killed an Egyptian but it didn't work out, instead he was hunted as he flew to Midian.
Moses saw a burning bush. God told him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses asked God his name and God said, "I am who I am."
The LORD gave Moses signs so that the people would listen. Moses was afraid, so the LORD sent his brother Aaron to speak for him.
Moses and Aaron told Pharaoh to let the Israelites go into the desert to worship. Pharaoh refused and increased their workload instead.
The LORD told Moses that he would lead the Israelites out of Egypt to the promised land. Aaron and Moses were from the tribe of Levi.
Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh again but he wouldn't listen, the LORD turned the Nile to blood, but Pharaoh wouldn't listen.
The LORD sent a plague of frogs on Egypt. Pharaoh begged for relief but then hardened his heart. The LORD sent gnats and then flies.
The LORD sent a plague on the livestock of Egypt, then boils and then hail. Pharaoh begged for relief but then his heart was hardened.
The LORD sent a plague of locusts. Pharaoh begged for relief but then his heart was hardened. The LORD sent darkness for three days.
The LORD said that he would send one more plague, and then Pharaoh would let the Israelites go: all the firstborn Egyptians would die.
The LORD told the Israelites to take Passover. That night all the firstborn Egyptians were killed. Pharaoh told the Israelites to go.
The LORD told the Israelites to consecrate their firstborns to him. He guided them as a pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night.
Pharaoh's army caught the Israelites by the sea. The LORD parted the waters and the Israelites crossed. The Egyptian army was drowned.
The Israelites sang: "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed; horse and rider he has thrown into the sea." They camped at Elim.
The Israelites grumbled to Moses that they had no food, so each day the LORD provided quails and manna. They rested on the sabbath.
The LORD told Moses to strike a rock to provide water. Amalek attacked Israel, but as Moses held up his arms Joshua's army prevailed.
Moses' father-in-law Jethro came and offered sacrifices to God. He suggested that Moses appoint leaders to help him judge the people.
The Israelites camped near the mountain in Sinai. The LORD spoke to Moses on the mountain and made his covenant with Israel.
I am the LORD your God. Honour the LORD above everything. Keep the Sabbath. Honour your parents. Don't do wrong to your neighbours.
If you buy a Hebrew slave he shall go free in the seventh year. Whoever kills shall be put to death. Whoever injures shall compensate.
Whoever steals shall make restitution. If a man sleeps with a virgin he shall marry her. You shall not oppress strangers or the poor.
You shall not pervert justice. Each year you shall hold feasts. My angel will lead you and I will drive your enemies from the land.
The people said, "All that the LORD has spoken we will do", and they offered sacrifices. The LORD told Moses to stay on the mountain.
Tell the Israelites to make a sanctuary for me. Make an ark with a mercy seat and two cherubim. Make a table. Then make a lampstand.
Make a tabernacle of fine linen. Make curtains of goats' hair to cover the tabernacle. Make boards of acacia wood and a linen veil.
Make an altar of acacia wood with bronze utensils. Make a court for the tabernacle of fine linen hangings and bronze pillars.
Set apart Aaron and his sons to minister as priests. Make a breastplate, an ephod, a robe, a tunic, a turban and a sash for them.
Sacrifice a young bull and two rams to consecrate Aaron and his sons. Make daily sacrifices on the altar and I will dwell with Israel.
Make an altar for burning incense. The Israelites shall each give half a shekel. Make a bronze laver. Make anointing oil and incense.
I have filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, with skill to make everything I have commanded. The seventh day is a Sabbath of rest.
While Moses was away the people worshipped a golden calf. Moses pleaded with the LORD for them, but then had three thousand killed.
Moses set up a tent of meeting. He said to the LORD, "Don't send us from here without your presence." The LORD passed near to Moses.
Moses made new tablets for the law. The LORD spoke to him and made a covenant with Israel. When Moses returned his face was shining.
Moses told the Israelites to keep the Sabbath. He called for craftsmen to make the tabernacle. The people gave gifts for the work.
The people gave more than enough. The craftsmen made the curtains. Bezalel made the curtains, the boards, the veil and the pillars.
Bezalel made the ark with its cherubim, the table, the lampstand and the incense altar. He made the anointing oil and the incense.
Bezalel made the altar of burnt offering, the laver and the court. Ithamar kept an inventory of the gold, silver and bronze used.
They made the ephod, breastplate, tunics, turban and sash for Aaron. Moses saw that it had all been made as the LORD had commanded.
Moses set up the tabernacle and brought the ark into it, as the LORD had commanded. Then the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

Should Husband's Wash Their Wives Panties

While still in the tertiary Institution, I admired and still admire one of my astute lecturers – Mrs. Adah Anyahuru Kudirat, because of her virtually all the girls in my class turned to Feminists. In the words of popular Award winning Nigerian writer – Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche Feminism in an ideal sense simply means being who you are; being the woman that you are, without fears of judgement from folks. She asserts “ and then we do a much greater disservice to girls, because we raise them to cater to the fragile egos of males. We teach girls to shrink themselves, to make themselves smaller. We say to girls: you can have ambition, but not too much. You should aim to be successful but not too successful, otherwise you will threaten the man. If you are the breadwinner in your relationship with a man, pretend that you are not, especially in public, otherwise you will emasculate him ” I therefore believe that in other words, it's all about fighting for what you want not waiting for

Whoever Told You That Sex Is A Sin Is A Lier

On a particular Sunday morning, sometime early this year. I visited a family and during the course of the preparation for mass one of them asked me in confidence "Dom...can someone who kissed someone recieve the communion" Imagine my numbness, for seconds I couldn't say anything because it was really tricky but yet I gavean answer. Do tell me what you think in the comment section before I tell you what I said. Pardon my bluntness. You see, sex is never bad. Not at all. From attraction to action, sexual behaviour takes many forms. At least for humans, this most basic of activities is anything but basic. Human interest in sex is not a matter left to chance but more a built-in-imperative; survival of the species depends on it. The moral and political implications of sex vary greatly from culture to culture, and eve writhing cultures and over time; still,there is agreement on one certainty : it's why we 're alive to say and what future generations depend on. &qu

Will Racism Ever Disappear

I do not intend to insight violence, hatred, prejudice among countless numerous mundane feelings with this piece, but it's always wise to" call a spade a spade and not a garden fork" Racism is rooted in the very DNA of (I beg to withhold my words) it is prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. Because of the colour of your skin, they ask if you are from a cave and if you have tails. A friend who got scholarship and studied abroad buttressed the fact that during the first class he was using the meter rule and someone approached him and said " Can I teach you how to use that...?  As if we grow in caves in Africa. O Mother Africa! Have they forgotten in a hurry that civilization started in Egypt: a country located in the northeastern corner of the African Continent. Have they forgotten how they Underdeveloped Africa? If you think I'm mincing words do read How E

Is the Eucharist the source of our Strength?

At every public worship of the Roman Catholic Church, there is a principal culmination. This culmination is also known as the celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist. The word isn’t of English, thus; is a word with diverse dimensions, all going back to the man’s central need of giving thanks to God. It is one of the often used words in Catholicism. Its meaning is deep and more profound and only one with profound intimacy with God can fully comprehend its richness.  To properly understand the word is necessary to consider the word in itself. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church would assert: “The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the different names we give it. Each name evokes certain aspects of it. It is called: Eucharist, because it is an action of  thanksgiving to God. The Greek words: 'ευχαριστία'  ( eucharistein) and 'ευλογείν'  (eulogein) recall the Jewish blessings that proclaim - especially during a meal - God's works: c

The Kingdom of Israel after the Division

The Kingdom of Israel after the Division After the division, Israel was divided into two, the southern part of Israel became known as Judah and while the northern part retained the name Israel. Judah which consisted of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin and was ruled by Solomon's son, Rehoboam; while the remaining tribes of Israel w ere rules by the rebellious Jeroboam who was from the tribe of Ephraim. After Jeroboam, his son Nadad took over, Nadad was killed the next years by Baasa. Baasa took over, after his death. Ela his son took over, he was killed by one of his army commanders, Zimri Zimri took over. He committed suicide after seven day on the throne. After Zimri, there was a civil war, half of the people supported Tibni who was a relative of Zimri while the rest supported Omri, who later became king. It was under his reign that Samaria became the capital of Israel. There are some extra biblical evidences that

How Prisons Increase Crime

My post on Will Racism Ever Stop, brought lotsof controversial comments especially on facebook. I was asked to stop, take it down and stop writing that. How I laughed. Racism is just a tip of the many difficulties we face as a people. Did you know that the population of America is a little above 328.2 million. In this census Blacks in America make a total of 42% of the population and yet over 13% are in prisosn. How we treat a person during the darkest point of their life's is the benchmark of humanity. Putting individuals convicted of crimes, especially violent crimes, in prison is thought to make the rest of us safer. But how much safety does all this imprisonment actually buy us? The answer is very little, especially in the long-term. There are good reasons to think prisons might prevent crime. The experience of imprisonment could deter someone from committing crimes to avoid prison in the future. Prison might provide opportunities for rehabilitation, such as drug and a

The Power of Humility

If then your Lord and master have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. (John 13:14) If Jesus could do this very belittling task for his disciples, why won't I humble myself and recognize the strength of others. Know it today! That even the least amongst you deserves your concerned respect and love for the pride of Christianity is Humility. The power of Humility lies in the strength of the super natural pride it stores for you in heaven and on earth for generations to come.. Vigil Uche
