1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,800 Hello, this is Father Paul and I'm glad we're taking this journey together to read the Bible 2 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,440 in a year. 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:14,960 Yesterday we heard about Egypt getting a new Pharaoh, a Pharaoh that did not know Joseph, 4 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,800 and this Pharaoh began to see the Israelites as a threat. 5 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,520 And in order to limit the threat, Pharaoh decreed that every male child was to be thrown 6 00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:23,760 into the river. 7 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:29,640 However, at the same time, a child was born by the name of Moses, and this child, his 8 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,040 mother did not want to throw him in the river and she wanted to save him, so she hid him 9 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,000 for a few months, but after a while she couldn't hide him anymore, so she put him in a basket 10 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,200 and she covered it with pitch and she pushed it down the river and had a sister follow 11 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:47,760 up with him until she saw the daughter of Pharaoh find the basket, rescue the baby, 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,080 and raise the child as her own. 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,160 And we saw how Moses grew up in the house of Pharaoh, and we also heard about the incident 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,960 where he killed an Egyptian and buried him in the sand, and that was the reason he fled 15 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:03,320 Egypt and he went to a place called Midian, and there he married Zepra, the daughter of 16 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,560 one of the priests of Midian. 17 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,880 And at the same time, the suffering of the Israelites in the land of Goshen was great, 18 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,680 and when he cried out to the Lord, God heard their cry. 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,480 And today we're going to hear about the encounter of Moses and the burning bush when he goes 20 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:23,480 up the mountain and he hears the voice of God, and how this is the beginning of the 21 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,700 deliverance of the Israelites from the land of Goshen. 22 00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:30,800 And we're going to see how Moses is taken back to Egypt and he goes with his brother 23 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,160 Aaron as commanded by God. 24 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,600 Alright, let's begin. 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,400 Today's reading is from Exodus chapter 3 to 6. 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,200 Chapter 3 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,120 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,960 And he led the flock to the back of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 29 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,280 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. 30 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,740 So he looked and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 31 00:02:01,740 --> 00:02:06,240 Then Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not 32 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:07,680 burn. 33 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,080 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst 34 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,840 of the bush and said, Moses, Moses. 35 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,120 And he said, Here I am. 36 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,440 Then he said, Do not draw near this place, take your sandals off your feet, for the place 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,320 where you stand is holy ground. 38 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:32,480 Moreover he said, I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and 39 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,960 the God of Jacob. 40 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,520 And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 41 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:43,520 And the Lord said, I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, 42 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,360 and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 43 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,600 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them 44 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,760 up from the land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to 45 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,560 the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the 46 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,080 Hivites and the Jebusites. 47 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:10,040 Now therefore behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have also 48 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,920 seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppressed them. 49 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,200 Come now therefore and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the 50 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,600 children of Israel, out of Egypt. 51 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,400 But Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the 52 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,120 children of Israel out of Egypt? 53 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,880 So he said, I will certainly be with you, and this shall be a sign to you that I have 54 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,080 sent you. 55 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,160 When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain. 56 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,240 Then Moses said to God, Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 57 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:50,720 the God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is his name? 58 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,500 What shall I say to them? 59 00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:55,640 And God said to Moses, I am who I am. 60 00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:01,400 And he said, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I am, has sent me to you. 61 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,700 Moreover, God said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, the Lord God 62 00:04:06,700 --> 00:04:11,040 of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me 63 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,180 to you. 64 00:04:12,180 --> 00:04:17,080 This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations. 65 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,360 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, The Lord God of your fathers, 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,680 the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appear to me, saying, I have surely visited 67 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,720 you and seen what is done to you in Egypt, and I have said I will bring you up out of 68 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,200 the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and Amorites and 69 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,640 the Perizzites and the Hevites and the Jebusites to a land flowing with milk and honey. 70 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,160 Then they will heed your voice, and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the 71 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:52,680 King of Egypt, and you shall say to him, The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us, and 72 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,520 now, please, let us go three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice 73 00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,640 to the Lord our God. 74 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:05,760 But I am sure that the King of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 75 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:11,080 So I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my wonders, which I will do in its 76 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,080 midst. 77 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,360 And after that he will let you go. 78 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,160 And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and it shall be, when you 79 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,600 go, that you shall not go empty-handed. 80 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,120 But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, namely, of her who dwells near her house, 81 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,760 articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. 82 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:37,560 And you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters, so you shall plunder the Egyptians. 83 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,080 Chapter 4 84 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,200 Then Moses answered and said, But suppose they will not believe me, or listen to my 85 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,360 voice. 86 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,280 Suppose they say, The Lord has not appeared to you. 87 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:51,360 So the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? 88 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,840 He said, A rod. 89 00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:55,400 And he said, Cast it on the ground. 90 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,740 So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses fled from it. 91 00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:03,680 Then the Lord said to Moses, Reach out your hand, and take it by the tail. 92 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,040 And he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand. 93 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,600 That they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God 94 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,720 of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you. 95 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:19,520 Furthermore, the Lord said to him, Now put your hand in your bosom. 96 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,760 And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, 97 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,980 like snow. 98 00:06:24,980 --> 00:06:27,640 And he said, Put your hand in your bosom again. 99 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,320 So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was 100 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,280 restored like his other flesh. 101 00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:38,600 Then it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, that 102 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,200 they may believe the message of the latter sign. 103 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,600 And it shall be, if they do not believe even these two signs, or listen to your voice, 104 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,200 that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. 105 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,080 The water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land. 106 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:58,240 Then Moses said to the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since 107 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,160 you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue. 108 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,840 So the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth, or who makes the mute, the deaf, the 109 00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,520 seeing, or the blind? 110 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,680 Have not I, the Lord? 111 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,900 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall say. 112 00:07:17,900 --> 00:07:23,020 But he said, O my Lord, please send by the hand of whomever else you may send. 113 00:07:23,020 --> 00:07:27,200 So the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite 114 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,200 your brother? 115 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:33,320 I know that he can speak well, and look, he is also coming out to meet you. 116 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280 When he sees you, he will be glad in his heart. 117 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,480 Now you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. 118 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,660 And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall 119 00:07:43,660 --> 00:07:44,720 do. 120 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:50,080 So he shall be your spokesman to the people, and he himself shall be as a mouth for you, 121 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,600 and you shall be to him as God. 122 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,180 And you shall take this rod in your hand, with which you shall do the signs. 123 00:07:57,180 --> 00:08:02,560 So Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Please let me go and return 124 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,640 to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive. 125 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,800 And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace. 126 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,840 Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go return to Egypt, for all the men who sought your 127 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,400 life are dead. 128 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,900 Then Moses took his wife and his sons and set them on a donkey, and he returned to the 129 00:08:20,900 --> 00:08:22,220 land of Egypt. 130 00:08:22,220 --> 00:08:25,160 And Moses took the rod of God in his hand. 131 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,680 Then the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders 132 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,600 before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. 133 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,660 But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. 134 00:08:36,660 --> 00:08:42,300 Then you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord, Israel is my son, my firstborn. 135 00:08:42,300 --> 00:08:45,960 So I say to you, Let my son go, that he may serve me. 136 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:51,360 But if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn. 137 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,800 And it came to pass on the way at the encampment that the Lord met him and sought to kill him. 138 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,800 Then Zipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at Moses' 139 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,780 feet and said, Surely you are a husband of blood to me. 140 00:09:05,780 --> 00:09:07,460 So he let me go. 141 00:09:07,460 --> 00:09:11,240 Then she said, You are a husband of blood, because of the circumcision. 142 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,920 And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. 143 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,420 So he went and met him on the mountain of God and kissed him. 144 00:09:18,420 --> 00:09:23,000 So Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord who had sent him and all the signs which he 145 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,260 had commanded him. 146 00:09:24,260 --> 00:09:28,840 Then Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the children of Israel. 147 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,540 And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. 148 00:09:32,540 --> 00:09:34,760 Then he did the signs in the sight of the people. 149 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,300 So the people believed. 150 00:09:36,300 --> 00:09:40,600 And when they heard that the Lord had visited the children of Israel and that he had looked 151 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,180 on their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshiped. 152 00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:47,020 Chapter 5 153 00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:52,600 Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, 154 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,240 Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness. 155 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,120 And Pharaoh said, Who is the Lord that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? 156 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,840 I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go. 157 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,000 So they said, The God of the Hebrews has met with us. 158 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,880 Please let us go three days' journey into the desert and sacrifice to the Lord our God, 159 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,080 lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword. 160 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,200 Then the King of Egypt said to them, Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people from 161 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,320 their work? 162 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,760 Get back to your labor. 163 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,480 And Pharaoh said, Look, the people of the land are many now, and you make them rest 164 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,140 from their labor. 165 00:10:31,140 --> 00:10:35,960 So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their officers saying, You 166 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,760 shall no longer give the people straw to make brick as before. 167 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,520 Let them go and gather straw for themselves, and you shall lay on them the quota of bricks 168 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:45,840 which they made before. 169 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,400 You shall not reduce it. 170 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:48,880 For they are idle. 171 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,920 Therefore they cry out, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God. 172 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,240 Let more work be laid on the men, that they may labor in it, and let them not regard false 173 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,360 words. 174 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,760 And the taskmasters of the people and their officers went out and spoke to the people 175 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:07,120 saying, Thus says Pharaoh, I will not give you straw. 176 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:12,440 Go get yourselves straw where you can find it, yet none of your work will be reduced. 177 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,160 So the people were scattered abroad throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble instead 178 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,160 of straw. 179 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,600 And the taskmasters forced them to hurry saying, Fulfill your work, your daily quota, as when 180 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,260 there was straw. 181 00:11:24,260 --> 00:11:29,280 Also the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, 182 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,880 were beaten and were asked, Why have you not fulfilled your task in making brick both yesterday 183 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,800 and today as before? 184 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,520 Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh saying, Why 185 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,800 are you dealing thus with your servants? 186 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,160 There is no straw given to your servants, and they say to us, Make brick, and indeed 187 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,120 your servants are beaten, but the fault is in your own people. 188 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:58,320 But he said, You are idle, idle, therefore you say, Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord. 189 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,120 Therefore go now and work, for no straw shall be given you, yet you shall deliver the quota 190 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,360 of bricks. 191 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,200 And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in trouble, after it was 192 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,680 said you shall not reduce any bricks from your daily quota. 193 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:17,600 Then as they came out from Pharaoh, they met Moses and Aaron who stood there to meet them, 194 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,840 and they said to them, Let the Lord look on you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent 195 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,320 in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants to put a sword in their hand 196 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,680 to kill us. 197 00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:33,760 So Moses returned to the Lord and said, Lord, why have you brought trouble on this people? 198 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,800 Why is it you have sent me? 199 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:40,200 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done evil to this people. 200 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Neither have you delivered your people at all. 201 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,720 Chapter 6 Then the Lord said to Moses, Now you shall 202 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,000 see what I will do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he will let them go, and with 203 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,320 a strong hand he will drive them out of his land. 204 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,560 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I am the Lord. 205 00:12:59,560 --> 00:13:06,600 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name Lord I was 206 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:07,880 not known to them. 207 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,880 I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land 208 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,120 of their pilgrimage, in which they were strangers. 209 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,920 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep 210 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,200 in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. 211 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,160 Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord. 212 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,280 I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 213 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,480 I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm 214 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640 and with great judgments. 215 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,600 I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. 216 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,840 Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brings you out from under the burdens 217 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,260 of the Egyptians. 218 00:13:46,260 --> 00:13:50,560 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, 219 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:52,440 and I will give it to you as a heritage. 220 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,980 I am the Lord. 221 00:13:53,980 --> 00:13:59,260 So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel, but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish 222 00:13:59,260 --> 00:14:01,640 of spirit and cruel bondage. 223 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,000 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, to let the children 224 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,680 of Israel go out of his land. 225 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:13,040 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, The children of Israel have not heeded me. 226 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,640 How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips. 227 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:22,140 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the children of Israel 228 00:14:22,140 --> 00:14:27,660 and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. 229 00:14:27,660 --> 00:14:32,680 These are the heads of their fathers' houses, the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, 230 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,760 were Hanuk, Palu, Hezran, and Karmie. 231 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:42,720 These are the families of Reuben, and the sons of Simeon, were Jemuel, Jameen, Ohad, 232 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Jasheen, Zohar, and Shal, the son of a Canaanite woman. 233 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,340 These are the families of Simeon. 234 00:14:49,340 --> 00:14:54,720 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations, Gershon, Kohath, and 235 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:55,720 Mirari. 236 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360 And the years of the life of Levi were 137. 237 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:04,280 The sons of Gershon were Libni and Shimi, according to their families. 238 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,480 And the sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uziel. 239 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,520 And the years of the life of Kohath were 133. 240 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,080 The sons of Mirari were Mahli and Mushi. 241 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,400 These are the families of Levi according to their generations. 242 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:26,720 Now Amram took for himself Josibed, his father's sister, as wife, and she bore him Aaron and 243 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:27,720 Moses. 244 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,040 And the years of the life of Amram were 137. 245 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:35,000 The sons of Izhar were Korah, Nephag, and Zikri. 246 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,840 And the sons of Uziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Zitri. 247 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Aaron took to himself Alishaiba, daughter of Amin Nadab, sister of Nachon as wife, and 248 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,480 she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eliezer, and Itamar. 249 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:55,160 And the sons of Korah were Asir, Elkana, and Abiasav. 250 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:56,800 These are the families of the Korahites. 251 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:02,720 Eliezer, Aaron's son, took for himself one of the daughters of Putiel as wife, and she 252 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,560 bore him Phineas. 253 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,320 These are the heads of the father's houses of the Levites according to their families. 254 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,960 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, bring out the children of Israel 255 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,440 from the land of Egypt according to their armies. 256 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,160 These are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring out the children of Israel 257 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,680 from Egypt. 258 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,560 These are the same Moses and Aaron. 259 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,040 And it came to pass on the day the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt that the Lord 260 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:35,520 spoke to Moses saying, I am the Lord, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to 261 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,520 you. 262 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:42,200 But Moses said before the Lord, behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh 263 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:48,000 heed me? 264 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,640 I hope you enjoyed today's reading as much as I did, and I look forward to seeing you 265 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,960 again tomorrow to continue on our journey. 266 00:16:53,960 --> 00:17:13,960 God bless you and have a great day.
