Sam Stinson, Chapter eleven, and Jehovah said, unto Moses, yet

(00:20):
one plague more will I bring 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,
speak now in the ears of the people, and let
them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman
of her neighbor, jewels of silver and jewels of gold.

(00:41):
And Jehovah gave the people favor 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. And Moses said, thus,
saith Jehovah, about midnight, will I go out into the
midst of Egypt. And all the first born in the
land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of

(01:03):
Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne even unto the first
born of the maid servant that is behind the mill,
and all the first born of cattle. And there shall
be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt,
such as there hath not been, nor shall be any more.
But against any of the children of Israel. Shall not
a dog move his tongue against man or beast, that

(01:26):
ye may know how that Jehovah doth make a distinction
between the Egyptians and Israel. 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 hot Anger, and Jehovah said, unto Moses,

(01:49):
Pharaoh will not hearken unto you, that my wonders may
be multiplied in the land of Egypt. And Moses and
Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh. And Jehovah hardened
Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of
Israel go out of his land. End of chapter eleven,
Chapter twelve, And Jehovah spake unto Moses and Aaron in

(02:10):
the land of Egypt, saying, this month shall be unto
you the beginning of months. It shall be the first
month of the year. To you 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 their father's houses, a lamb for a household.
And if the household be too little for a lamb,

(02:32):
then shall he and his neighbor next unto his house
take one, according to the number of the souls, according
to every man's eating. Ye shall make your count for
the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male
a year old. Ye shall take it from the sheep
or from the goats, and ye shall keep it until
the fourteenth day of the same month. And the whole

(02:53):
assembly of the Congregation of Israel shall kill it at
even and they shall take up the blood and put
it on them two side posts, and on the lintel
upon the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they
shall eat the flesh in that night roast with fire,
and unleavened bread with bitter herbs. They shall eat it,
eat not of it raw, nor boiled at all with water,

(03:17):
but roast with fire, its head, with its legs, and
with the inwards thereof, and ye shall let nothing of
it remain until the morning. But that which remaineth of
it until the morning, ye shall burn with fire. And
thus shall ye eat it with your loins girded, your
shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand,

(03:38):
and ye shall eat it in haste. It is Jehovah's
pass over, for I will go through the land of
Egypt in that night and will smite all the first
born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast,
and against all the gods of Egypt. I will execute judgments.
I am Jehovah. And the blood shall be to you
for a token upon the houses where ye are. And

(04:00):
when I see the blood, I will pass over you,
and there shall no plague be upon you to destroy you.
When I smite the land of Egypt, and this day
shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall
keep it a feast to Jehovah throughout your generations. Ye
shall keep it a feast. By an ordinance forever seven
days shall ye eat unleavened bread. Even the first day,

(04:23):
ye shall put away leven 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.
And in the first day there shall be to you
a holy convocation, and in the seventh day a holy convocation.
No manner of work shall be done in them, save
that which every man must eat. That only may be

(04:46):
done by you. And ye shall observe the feast of
unleavened bread. For in this self same day have I
brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore
shall ye observe this day throughout your generations by an ordinance.
For ever in the first month, on the fourteenth day
of the month, at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread.

(05:06):
Until the one and twentieth day of the month, at
even seven days shall there be no leaven found in
your houses. For whosoever eateth that which is leavened, that
soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel,
whether he be a sojourner or one that is born
in the land, ye shall eat nothing leavened. In all
your habitations, shall ye eat unleavened bread. Then Moses called

(05:30):
for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them,
draw out and take you lambs according to your families,
and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch
of hissop and dip it in the blood that is
in the basin, and strike the lentil and the two
side posts with the blood that is in the basin,
And none of you shall go out of the door

(05:51):
of his house until the morning, for Jehovah will pass
through to smite the Egyptians. And when he seeth the
blood upon the lntil and on the two side posts,
Jehovah will pass over the door and will not suffer
the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to
thee and to thy sons forever. And it shall come

(06:15):
to pass when ye are come to the land which
Jehovah will give you, according as he hath promised, that
ye shall keep this service. And it shall come to
pass when your children shall say unto you, what mean
ye by this service? That ye shall say, it is
the sacrifice of Jehovah's Passover, who passed over the houses
of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote

(06:38):
the Egyptians and delivered our houses, and the people bowed
the head and worshiped, and the children of Israel went
and did so as JEHOVAHD commanded Moses and Aaron, so
did they. And it came to pass at midnight that
Jehovah smote all the first born in the land of Egypt,
from the first born of Pharaoh that sat on his
throne unto the first born of the captive that was

(07:00):
in the dungeon, and all the first born of cattle.
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. And he called for
Moses and Aaron by night and said, rise up, Get

(07:21):
you forth from among my people, both ye and the
children of Israel, and go serve Jehovah as ye have said.
Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said,
and be gone, and bless me also. And the Egyptians
were urgent upon the people to send them out of
the land in haste, for they said, we are all
dead men. And the people took their dough before it

(07:44):
was leavened. Their kneading troughs, being bound up in their
clothes upon their shoulders. And the children of Israel did
according to the word of Moses, and they asked of
the Egyptians jewels of silver and jewels of gold and raiment,
and Jehovah gave the people favor in the sign of
the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked,
and they despoiled the Egyptians. And the children of Israel

(08:07):
journeyed from Rameses to Sukov, about six hundred thousand on
foot that were men besides children, and a mixed multitude
went up also with them, and flocks and herds, even
very much cattle. And they baked unleaven cakes of the
dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it
was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt

(08:29):
and could not tarry. Neither had they prepared for themselves
any victuals. Now, the time that the children of Israel
dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years, and
it came to pass at the end of four hundred
and thirty years even the self same day, it came
to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out

(08:50):
from the land of Egypt. It is a knight to
be much observed unto Jehovah for bringing them out from
the land of Egypt. This is that knight of Jehovah,
to be much observed of all the children of Israel
throughout their generations. Then Jehovah said, unto Moses and Aaron,
this is the ordinance of the Passover. There shall no

(09:12):
foreigner eat thereof, but every man's servant that is bought
for money. When thou hast circumcised him, then shall he
eat thereof. A sojourner, and a hired servant shall not
eat thereof. And one house shall it be eaten. Thou
shalt not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out
of the house. Neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

(09:33):
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when
a stranger shall sojourn with thee and will keep the
passover to Jehovah, 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.
But no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall

(09:54):
be to him that is home born, and unto the
stranger that sojourneth among you. Thus did all the children
of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
And it came to pass the self same day that
Jehovah did bring the children of Israel out of the
land of Egypt by their hosts. End of Chapter twelve,

(10:17):
Chapter thirteen. And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, sanctify unto
me all the first born, whatsoever openeth the womb among
the children of Israel, both of man and of beast,
it is mine. 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

(10:38):
Jehovah brought you out from this place. There shall no
leavened bread be eaten this day. Ye go forth in
the month Abib. And it shall be when Jehovah shall
bring thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite,
and the Amorite, and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which
he swear unto thy fathers, to give thee a land
flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this

(11:01):
service in this month seven days, thou shalt eat unleavened bread,
and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Jehovah.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days, and
there shall no leavened bread be seen with THEE. Neither
shall there be leaven seen with THEE in all thy borders.
And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying,

(11:24):
it is because of that which Jehovah did for me
when I came forth out of Egypt. And it shall
be for a sign unto THEE upon thy hand, and
for a memorial between thine eyes, that the law of
Jehovah may be in thy mouth. For with a strong
hand hath Jehovah brought THEE out of Egypt. Thou shalt
therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.

(11:47):
And it shall be when Jehovah shall bring THEE into
the land of the Canaanite, as he swear unto THEE
and to thy fathers, and shall give it THEE, that
thou shalt set apart unto Jehovah all that openeth the
womb and every firstling which thou hast that cometh of
a beast, the males shall be Jehovah's, and every firstling

(12:07):
of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb. And
if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break
its neck. And all the first born of man among
thy sons shalt thou redeem. Then 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, Jehovah brought us out from Egypt from the

(12:30):
house of bondage, and it came to pass when Pharaoh
would hardly let us go, that Jehovah slew all the
first born in the land of Egypt, both the first
born of man and the first born of beast. Therefore
I sacrifice to Jehovah all that openeth the womb, being males,
but all the first born of my sons I redeem.
And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand

(12:51):
and for frontlance between thine eyes. For by strength of hand,
Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt, and it came
to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go that
God led them not by 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

(13:11):
they returned to Egypt. But God led the people about
by the way of the wilderness, by the Red Sea.
And the children of Israel went up armed out of
the land of Egypt. 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. And

(13:35):
they took their journey from Sukov and encamped in Etham,
in the edge of the wilderness. And Jehovah went before
them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead
them the way, and by night in a pillar of
fire to give them light, that they might go by
day and by night. The pillar of cloud by day
and the pillar of fire by night departed not from

(13:58):
before the people end of chapter thirteen, Chapter fourteen, And
Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, speak unto the children of Israel,
that they turned back and encamp before Piha Hirath, between
Migdal and the sea before bail Zophon over against it,
shall ye encamp by the sea. And Pharaoh will say

(14:20):
of the children of Israel, they are entangled in the
land the wilderness. Hath shut them in. And I will
harden Pharaoh's heart, and he shall follow after them. And
I will get me honor upon Pharaoh and upon all
his host and the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah.
And they did so. And it was told the King

(14:40):
of Egypt that the people were fled, and the heart
of Pharaoh and of his servants was changed towards the people.
And they said, what is this we have done? That
we have let Israel go from serving us. And he
made ready his chariot and took his people with him,
and he took six hundred those in chariots, and all

(15:02):
the chariots of Egypt, and captains over all of them.
And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh, king of Egypt,
and he pursued after the children of Israel. For the
children of Israel went out with a high hand, and
the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots
of Pharaoh and his horsemen and his army, and overtook
them in camping by the sea beside pi Haharrath before

(15:25):
bail Zephon. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of
Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were
marching after them. And they were sore afraid. And the
children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, and they sent
unto Moses, because there were no graves in Egypt. Hast
thou taken us away to die in the wilderness. Wherefore

(15:46):
hast thou dealt thus with us to bring us forth
out of Egypt. Is not this the word that we
spake unto thee in Egypt, saying let us alone, that
we may serve the Egyptians. For it were better for
us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die
in the wilderness. And Moses said, unto the people, fear

(16:09):
ye not stand still and see the salvation of Jehovah,
which he will work for you to day. For the
Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see
them again no more. For ever Jehovah will fight for you,
and ye shall hold your peace. And Jehovah said unto Moses,
wherefore criest thou unto me, speak unto the children of Israel,

(16:32):
that they go forward, and lift thou up thy rod,
and stretch out thy hand over the sea and divide it.
And the children of Israel shall go into the midst
of the sea on dry ground. And I behold, I
will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall
go in after them. And I will get me honor
upon Pharaoh and upon all his host, upon his chariots,

(16:56):
and upon his horsemen, And the Egyptians shall know that
I am Jehovah, when I have gotten me honor upon Pharaoh,
upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen. And the Angel
of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed
and went behind them. And the pillar of cloud removed
from before them and stood behind them. And it came

(17:17):
between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel.
And there was the cloud in the darkness, yet gave
it light by night. And the one came not near
the other all the night. And Moses stretched out his
hand over the sea, and Jehovah caused the sea to
go back by a strong east wind all the night,
and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided,

(17:40):
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. And the Egyptians pursued and went in after
them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses,
his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass
in the morning watch that Jehovah looked forth upon the

(18:02):
host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and
of cloud, and discomfited the host of the Egyptians, and
he took off their chariot wheels, and they drove them heavily,
so that the Egyptians said, let us flee from the
face of Israel, for Jehovah fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
And Jehovah said, unto Moses, stretch out thy hand over

(18:22):
the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians,
upon their chariots and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched
forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned
to its strength when the morning appeared, and the Egyptians
fled against it, and Jehovah overthrew the Egyptians in the
midst of the sea, and the waters were turned and

(18:42):
covered the chariots and the horsemen, even all the hosts
of Pharaoh that went in after them into the sea.
There remained not so much as one of them. But
the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the
midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall
into them on their right and on their left. Thus

(19:02):
Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of
the Egyptians. And Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the
sea shore. And Israel saw the great work which Jehovah
did upon the Egyptians. And the people feared Jehovah, and
they believed in Jehovah and in his servant Moses. End
of chapter fourteen. Chapter fifteen, then sang Moses and the

(19:27):
children of Israel this song unto Jehovah, and spake sang,
I will sing unto Jehovah. For he hath triumphed gloriously
the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
Jehovah is my strength and my song, and he has
become my salvation. This is my God, and I will

(19:50):
praise him my father's God, and I will exalt him.
Jehovah is a man of war. Jehovah is his name.
Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea,
and his chosen captains are sunk in the red sea.
The deeps covered them. They went down into the depths

(20:11):
like a stone. Thy right hand, O Jehovah, is glorious
in power, Thy right hand, O Jehovah, dasheth in pieces
the enemy, and in the greatness of Thine excellency, Thou
overthrowest them that rise up against thee. Thou sendest forth
thy wrath. It consumeth them as stubble. And with the

(20:32):
blast of thy nostrils, the waters were piled up. The
flood stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed
in the heart of the sea. The enemy said, I
will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil.
My desire shall be satisfied upon them. I will draw
my sword. My hand shall destroy them. Thou didst blow

(20:55):
with thy wind. The sea covered them. They sank as
left dead in the mighty waters. Who is like unto thee,
O Jehovah Among the gods, who is like THEE, glorious
in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders. Thou stretchest out
thy right hand. The earth swallowed them. Thou, in thy

(21:17):
loving kindness hast led the people that thou hast redeemed.
Thou hast guided them in thy strength to thy holy habitation.
The peoples have heard they tremble pangs have taken hold
on the inhabitants of Felistia. Then were the chiefs of
Edom dismayed, the mighty men of Moab trembling taketh hold

(21:38):
upon them. All the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away.
Terror and dread falleth upon them. By the greatness of
Thine arm. They are as still as a stone. Till
thy people pass over, O Jehovah. Till the people pass
over that thou hast purchased, Thou wilt bring them in

(21:58):
and plant them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, the
place O Jehovah, which thou hast made for thee to
dwell in the sanctuary O Lord, which thy hands have established.
Jehovah shall reign forever and ever. For the horses of
Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen
into the sea, and Jehovah brought back the waters of

(22:20):
the sea upon them. But the children of Israel walked
on dry land in the midst of the sea. 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. And Miriam answered them, sing
thee to Jehovah, for he hath triumphed gloriously. The horse

(22:41):
and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. And
Moses led Israel onward from the Red Sea, and they
went out into the wilderness of shore. And they went
three days in the wilderness and found no water. And
when they came to Mara, they could not drink of
the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the
name of it was called Mara. And the people murmured

(23:04):
against Moses, saying what shall we drink? And he cried
unto Jehovah. And Jehovah showed him a tree, and he
cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweept.
There he made for them a statute and an ordinance
and there he proved them. And he said, if thou
wilt diligently hearken to the voice of Jehovah, thy God,

(23:27):
and wilt do that which is right in his eyes,
and wilt give ear to his commandments and keep all
his statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon
thee which I have put upon the Egyptians, for I
am Jehovah that healeth thee. And they came to Elim,
where were twelve springs of water and three score and

(23:48):
ten palm trees, and they encamped there by the waters
end of chapter fifteen. Yeah
