Daily Bible Reading Experience.
Day 100 and 4.
Then Moses went back to
the Lord and protested.
Why have you brought all this
trouble on your own people?
Lord, why did you send me?
Ever since I came to Pharaoh as
your spokesman, he has been even
more brutal to your people, and you
have done nothing to rescue them.
Then the Lord told Moses, now you
will see what I will do to Pharaoh.
When he feels the force of my strong
hand, he will let the people go.
In fact, he will force
them to leave his land.
And God said to Moses,
I am Yahweh the Lord.
I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to
Jacob as l Shadi, God Almighty, but I
did not reveal my name, Yahweh to them.
And I reaffirmed my covenant
with them under its terms.
I promised to give them the land of Canaan
where they were living as foreigners.
You can be sure that I have heard the
groans of the people of Israel who are
now slaves to the Egyptians, and I am
well aware of my covenant with them.
Therefore, say to the people
of Israel, I am the Lord.
I will free you from your
oppression and will rescue you
from your slavery in Egypt.
I will redeem you with a powerful
arm and great acts of judgment.
I will claim you as my own
people and I will be your God.
Then you will know that I am the
Lord your God, who has freed you
from your oppression In Egypt, I
will bring you into the land I swore
to give Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I will give it to you as
your very own possession.
I am the Lord.
So Moses told the people of
Israel what the Lord had said, but
they refused to listen anymore.
They had become too discouraged
by the brutality of their slavery.
Then the Lord said to Moses,
go back to Pharaoh, the king of
Egypt, and tell him to let the
people of Israel leave his country.
But Lord, Moses objected.
My own people won't listen to me anymore.
How can I expect Pharaoh to listen?
I'm such a clumsy speaker.
But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron
and gave them orders for the Israelites
and for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
The Lord commanded Moses and Aaron to
lead the people of Israel out of Egypt.
These are the ancestors of
some of the clans of Israel.
The sons of Ruben Israel's oldest son
were Hayak, Palou, Heran, and Cari.
Their descendants became
the clans of Ruben.
The sons of Simeon were Jim Jamon,
OAD, Jenkin, Zohar, and Shaw.
Shaw's mother was a Canaanite woman.
Their descendants became
the Klans of Simeon.
These are the descendants of Levi
as listed in their family records.
The Sons of Levi were
Gershen, koha, and Marai.
Levi lived to be 137 years old.
The descendants of Gersin included
Lyna and Shiai, each of whom
became the ancestor of a clan.
The descendants of Coha included
Amam Isar, he and Aze Coha
lived to be 133 years old.
The descendants of Marai
included Mala and Muha.
These are the clans of the Levites
as listed in their family records.
Amam married his father's sister
Jacked and she gave birth to his sons.
Aaron and Moses.
Amam lived to be 137 years old.
The sons of Iha were Cora, Nephi, and z.
The Sons of Zeel were

The Sons of Cora were Azer, AA, and Abi.
Their descendants became
the clans of Cora Azer.
Son of Aaron married one of
the daughters of Putal and she
gave birth to his son Phineas.
These are the ancestors of the Levite
families listed according to their clans.
The Aaron and Moses named in this list
are the same ones to whom the Lord
said, lead the people of Israel out
of the land of Egypt like an army.
It was Moses and Aaron who spoke to
Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, about leading
the people of Israel out of Egypt.
When the Lord spoke to Moses in the land
of Egypt, he said to him, I am the Lord.
Tell Pharaoh, the king of Egypt,
everything I am telling you.
But Moses argued with the
Lord saying, I can't do it.
I'm such a clumsy speaker.
Why should Pharaoh listen to me?
Then the Lord said to Moses,
pay close attention to this.
I will make you seem like God
to Pharaoh and your brother
Aaron will be your prophet.
Tell Aaron everything I command you
and Aaron must command Pharaoh to let
the people of Israel leave his country.
But I will make Pharaoh's heart stubborn
so I can multiply my miraculous signs
and wonders in the land of Egypt.
Even then, Pharaoh will
refuse to listen to you.
So I will bring down my fist on Egypt,
then I will rescue my forces, my
people, the Israelites from the land
of Egypt with great acts of judgment.
When I raise my powerful hand in bring
out the Israelites, the Egyptians
will know that I am the Lord.
So Moses and Aaron did just as
the Lord had commanded them.
Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83
when they made their demands to Pharaoh.
Then the Lord said to Moses and
Aaron, Pharaoh will demand, show
me a miracle when he does this.
Say to Aaron, take your staff and
throw it down in front of Pharaoh
and it will become a serpent.
So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and
did what the Lord had commanded them.
Aaron threw down his staff
before Pharaoh and his officials,
and it became a serpent.
Then Pharaoh called in his own
wise men and sorcerers, and
these Egyptian magicians did
the same thing with their magic.
They threw down their staffs, which
also became serpents, but then Aaron's
staff swallowed up their staffs.
Pharaoh's heart, however, remained hard.
He still refused to listen
just as the Lord had predicted.
Then the Lord said to Moses,
Pharaoh's heart is stubborn and he
still refuses to let the people go.
So go to Pharaoh in the morning as he
goes down to the river, stand on the
Bank of the Nile and meet him there.
Be sure to take along the
staff that turned into a snake.
Then announced to him, the Lord, the
God of the Hebrews has sent me to
tell you, let my people go so they
can worship me in the wilderness.
Until now, you have
refused to listen to him.
So this is what the Lord says.
I will show you that I am the Lord.
Look, I will strike the water of
the Nile with this staff in my hand,
and the river will turn to blood.
The fish in it will die
and the river will stink.
The Egyptians will not be able
to drink any water from the Nile.
Then the Lord said to Moses, tell
Aaron, take your staff and raise
your hand over the waters of Egypt.
All its rivers, canals,
ponds, and all the reservoirs.
Turn all the water to blood.
Everywhere in Egypt, the water
will turn to blood, even the
water stored in wooden bowls.
In stone pots.
So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord
commanded them, as Pharaoh and all of
his officials watched Aaron raised his
staff and struck the water of the Nile.
Suddenly the whole river turned to blood.
The fish in the river died and
the water became so foul that
the Egyptians couldn't drink it.
There was blood everywhere
throughout the land of Egypt.
But again, the magicians of
Egypt used their magic and they
too turned water into blood.
So Pharaoh's heart remained hard.
He refused to listen to Moses and
Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
Pharaoh returned to his palace and
put the whole thing out of his mind.
Then all the Egyptians dug along the
riverbank to find drinking water for they
couldn't drink the water from the Nile.
Seven days passed from the
time the Lord struck the Nile.
Then the Lord said to Moses, go
back to Pharaoh and announced to
him, this is what the Lord says.
Let my people go so they can worship me.
If you refuse to let them go, I will send
a plague of frogs across your entire land.
The Nile River was swarm with frogs.
They will come up out of the river
and into your palace, even into
your bedroom, and onto your bed.
They will enter the houses of
your officials and your people.
They will even jump into your
ovens and your kneading bowls.
Frogs will jump on you, your
people, and all your officials.
Then the Lord said to Moses, tell Aaron,
raise the staff in your hand over all
the rivers, canals, and ponds of Egypt
and bring up frogs over all the land.
So Aaron raised his hand over the
waters of Egypt, and frogs came
up and covered the whole land.
But the magicians were able to do
the same thing with their magic.
They too caused frogs to
come up on the land of Egypt.
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron
and begged plead with the Lord to take
the frogs away from me and my people.
I will let your people go so they
can offer sacrifices to the Lord.
You set the time.
Moses replied, tell me when you
want me to pray for you, your
officials, and your people.
Then you and your houses
will be rid of the frogs.
They will remain only in the Nile River.
Do it tomorrow.
Pharaoh said, all right, Moses
replied, it will be as you have
said, then you will know that there
is no one like the Lord our God.
The frogs will leave you and your
houses, your officials, and your people.
They will remain only in the Nile River.
So Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh's palace
and Moses cried out to the Lord about
the frogs he had inflicted on Pharaoh.
And the Lord did just
what Moses had predicted.
The frogs and the houses, the
courtyards and the fields all died.
The Egyptians piled them into great heaps
and a terrible stench filled the land.
But when Pharaoh saw that relief
had come, he became stubborn.
He refused to listen to Moses and
Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted.
