--> 00:00:07.011 Then Moses went back to the Lord and protested. 00:00:07.761 --> 00:00:10.611 Why have you brought all this trouble on your own people? 00:00:10.611 --> 00:00:13.101 Lord, why did you send me? 00:00:13.881 --> 00:00:17.961 Ever since I came to Pharaoh as your spokesman, he has been even 00:00:17.961 --> 00:00:22.311 more brutal to your people, and you have done nothing to rescue them. 00:00:23.601 --> 00:00:29.271 Then the Lord told Moses, now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. 00:00:29.871 --> 00:00:34.371 When he feels the force of my strong hand, he will let the people go. 00:00:34.881 --> 00:00:38.241 In fact, he will force them to leave his land. 00:00:39.741 --> 00:00:44.421 And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh the Lord. 00:00:44.841 --> 00:00:53.661 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as l Shadi, God Almighty, but I 00:00:53.661 --> 00:00:57.171 did not reveal my name, Yahweh to them. 00:00:57.711 --> 00:01:02.211 And I reaffirmed my covenant with them under its terms. 00:01:02.541 --> 00:01:07.431 I promised to give them the land of Canaan where they were living as foreigners. 00:01:08.031 --> 00:01:12.261 You can be sure that I have heard the groans of the people of Israel who are 00:01:12.261 --> 00:01:16.911 now slaves to the Egyptians, and I am well aware of my covenant with them. 00:01:17.661 --> 00:01:21.321 Therefore, say to the people of Israel, I am the Lord. 00:01:21.891 --> 00:01:25.011 I will free you from your oppression and will rescue you 00:01:25.011 --> 00:01:26.631 from your slavery in Egypt. 00:01:27.336 --> 00:01:30.996 I will redeem you with a powerful arm and great acts of judgment. 00:01:31.746 --> 00:01:35.676 I will claim you as my own people and I will be your God. 00:01:36.456 --> 00:01:40.296 Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you 00:01:40.296 --> 00:01:44.886 from your oppression In Egypt, I will bring you into the land I swore 00:01:44.886 --> 00:01:47.526 to give Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 00:01:48.216 --> 00:01:51.696 I will give it to you as your very own possession. 00:01:52.146 --> 00:01:53.436 I am the Lord. 00:01:55.251 --> 00:01:59.391 So Moses told the people of Israel what the Lord had said, but 00:01:59.391 --> 00:02:01.101 they refused to listen anymore. 00:02:01.701 --> 00:02:05.541 They had become too discouraged by the brutality of their slavery. 00:02:06.591 --> 00:02:11.541 Then the Lord said to Moses, go back to Pharaoh, the king of 00:02:11.541 --> 00:02:16.011 Egypt, and tell him to let the people of Israel leave his country. 00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:19.566 But Lord, Moses objected. 00:02:20.046 --> 00:02:22.506 My own people won't listen to me anymore. 00:02:22.986 --> 00:02:25.056 How can I expect Pharaoh to listen? 00:02:25.536 --> 00:02:27.336 I'm such a clumsy speaker. 00:02:28.686 --> 00:02:33.246 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them orders for the Israelites 00:02:33.246 --> 00:02:35.286 and for Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. 00:02:36.126 --> 00:02:41.616 The Lord commanded Moses and Aaron to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt. 00:02:44.586 --> 00:02:48.036 These are the ancestors of some of the clans of Israel. 00:02:48.906 --> 00:02:55.926 The sons of Ruben Israel's oldest son were Hayak, Palou, Heran, and Cari. 00:02:57.186 --> 00:02:59.616 Their descendants became the clans of Ruben. 00:03:00.606 --> 00:03:08.616 The sons of Simeon were Jim Jamon, OAD, Jenkin, Zohar, and Shaw. 00:03:09.486 --> 00:03:11.526 Shaw's mother was a Canaanite woman. 00:03:12.141 --> 00:03:14.721 Their descendants became the Klans of Simeon. 00:03:16.521 --> 00:03:20.991 These are the descendants of Levi as listed in their family records. 00:03:21.861 --> 00:03:27.951 The Sons of Levi were Gershen, koha, and Marai. 00:03:29.121 --> 00:03:32.331 Levi lived to be 137 years old. 00:03:33.411 --> 00:03:39.471 The descendants of Gersin included Lyna and Shiai, each of whom 00:03:39.471 --> 00:03:41.631 became the ancestor of a clan. 00:03:42.801 --> 00:03:52.381 The descendants of Coha included Amam Isar, he and Aze Coha 00:03:52.641 --> 00:03:55.431 lived to be 133 years old. 00:03:56.871 --> 00:04:01.551 The descendants of Marai included Mala and Muha. 00:04:03.246 --> 00:04:07.566 These are the clans of the Levites as listed in their family records. 00:04:08.406 --> 00:04:14.106 Amam married his father's sister Jacked and she gave birth to his sons. 00:04:14.286 --> 00:04:15.396 Aaron and Moses. 00:04:15.996 --> 00:04:19.326 Amam lived to be 137 years old. 00:04:19.926 --> 00:04:24.816 The sons of Iha were Cora, Nephi, and z. 00:04:26.481 --> 00:04:32.721 The Sons of Zeel were Michelle Elza fan and Sri. 00:04:33.591 --> 00:04:41.391 Erin married Alicia, the daughter of Amab and sister of Naan, and she gave birth 00:04:41.391 --> 00:04:48.171 to his sons naab, a BA hug, zer and eMAR. 00:04:49.101 --> 00:04:54.051 The Sons of Cora were Azer, AA, and Abi. 00:04:55.266 --> 00:04:59.436 Their descendants became the clans of Cora Azer. 00:04:59.466 --> 00:05:03.816 Son of Aaron married one of the daughters of Putal and she 00:05:03.821 --> 00:05:06.096 gave birth to his son Phineas. 00:05:07.116 --> 00:05:12.396 These are the ancestors of the Levite families listed according to their clans. 00:05:13.476 --> 00:05:17.346 The Aaron and Moses named in this list are the same ones to whom the Lord 00:05:17.346 --> 00:05:22.566 said, lead the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt like an army. 00:05:23.616 --> 00:05:28.626 It was Moses and Aaron who spoke to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, about leading 00:05:28.626 --> 00:05:31.086 the people of Israel out of Egypt. 00:05:32.166 --> 00:05:38.016 When the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, he said to him, I am the Lord. 00:05:38.436 --> 00:05:42.546 Tell Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, everything I am telling you. 00:05:43.356 --> 00:05:47.256 But Moses argued with the Lord saying, I can't do it. 00:05:47.706 --> 00:05:49.356 I'm such a clumsy speaker. 00:05:49.716 --> 00:05:52.266 Why should Pharaoh listen to me? 00:05:55.146 --> 00:05:59.856 Then the Lord said to Moses, pay close attention to this. 00:06:00.606 --> 00:06:04.086 I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh and your brother 00:06:04.086 --> 00:06:05.646 Aaron will be your prophet. 00:06:06.636 --> 00:06:11.736 Tell Aaron everything I command you and Aaron must command Pharaoh to let 00:06:11.736 --> 00:06:13.956 the people of Israel leave his country. 00:06:14.376 --> 00:06:20.196 But I will make Pharaoh's heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs 00:06:20.196 --> 00:06:21.966 and wonders in the land of Egypt. 00:06:23.031 --> 00:06:26.211 Even then, Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. 00:06:26.571 --> 00:06:31.941 So I will bring down my fist on Egypt, then I will rescue my forces, my 00:06:31.941 --> 00:06:36.591 people, the Israelites from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment. 00:06:37.401 --> 00:06:41.571 When I raise my powerful hand in bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians 00:06:41.571 --> 00:06:43.521 will know that I am the Lord. 00:06:44.811 --> 00:06:48.171 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them. 00:06:49.161 --> 00:06:54.951 Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 when they made their demands to Pharaoh. 00:06:55.971 --> 00:07:01.161 Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh will demand, show 00:07:01.166 --> 00:07:03.891 me a miracle when he does this. 00:07:04.161 --> 00:07:08.781 Say to Aaron, take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh 00:07:08.961 --> 00:07:10.611 and it will become a serpent. 00:07:12.291 --> 00:07:17.271 So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. 00:07:18.186 --> 00:07:21.486 Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, 00:07:21.816 --> 00:07:23.406 and it became a serpent. 00:07:24.366 --> 00:07:28.086 Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and 00:07:28.086 --> 00:07:31.446 these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic. 00:07:31.866 --> 00:07:37.596 They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents, but then Aaron's 00:07:37.746 --> 00:07:39.606 staff swallowed up their staffs. 00:07:40.506 --> 00:07:42.666 Pharaoh's heart, however, remained hard. 00:07:43.296 --> 00:07:48.186 He still refused to listen just as the Lord had predicted. 00:07:50.916 --> 00:07:55.866 Then the Lord said to Moses, Pharaoh's heart is stubborn and he 00:07:55.866 --> 00:07:58.326 still refuses to let the people go. 00:07:58.776 --> 00:08:04.416 So go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes down to the river, stand on the 00:08:04.416 --> 00:08:06.636 Bank of the Nile and meet him there. 00:08:07.236 --> 00:08:10.086 Be sure to take along the staff that turned into a snake. 00:08:10.641 --> 00:08:14.811 Then announced to him, the Lord, the God of the Hebrews has sent me to 00:08:14.811 --> 00:08:19.731 tell you, let my people go so they can worship me in the wilderness. 00:08:20.901 --> 00:08:24.351 Until now, you have refused to listen to him. 00:08:24.861 --> 00:08:26.901 So this is what the Lord says. 00:08:27.681 --> 00:08:30.441 I will show you that I am the Lord. 00:08:30.981 --> 00:08:36.201 Look, I will strike the water of the Nile with this staff in my hand, 00:08:36.531 --> 00:08:38.301 and the river will turn to blood. 00:08:38.991 --> 00:08:42.051 The fish in it will die and the river will stink. 00:08:42.591 --> 00:08:45.831 The Egyptians will not be able to drink any water from the Nile. 00:08:46.851 --> 00:08:52.101 Then the Lord said to Moses, tell Aaron, take your staff and raise 00:08:52.101 --> 00:08:54.231 your hand over the waters of Egypt. 00:08:54.681 --> 00:08:58.941 All its rivers, canals, ponds, and all the reservoirs. 00:08:59.751 --> 00:09:01.911 Turn all the water to blood. 00:09:02.856 --> 00:09:06.846 Everywhere in Egypt, the water will turn to blood, even the 00:09:06.846 --> 00:09:08.406 water stored in wooden bowls. 00:09:08.406 --> 00:09:09.606 In stone pots. 00:09:10.806 --> 00:09:17.076 So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord commanded them, as Pharaoh and all of 00:09:17.076 --> 00:09:21.756 his officials watched Aaron raised his staff and struck the water of the Nile. 00:09:22.596 --> 00:09:25.356 Suddenly the whole river turned to blood. 00:09:26.076 --> 00:09:29.946 The fish in the river died and the water became so foul that 00:09:29.946 --> 00:09:31.296 the Egyptians couldn't drink it. 00:09:32.091 --> 00:09:34.941 There was blood everywhere throughout the land of Egypt. 00:09:35.571 --> 00:09:40.011 But again, the magicians of Egypt used their magic and they 00:09:40.011 --> 00:09:42.201 too turned water into blood. 00:09:43.041 --> 00:09:45.351 So Pharaoh's heart remained hard. 00:09:46.011 --> 00:09:51.051 He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted. 00:09:52.641 --> 00:09:56.361 Pharaoh returned to his palace and put the whole thing out of his mind. 00:09:56.901 --> 00:10:02.571 Then all the Egyptians dug along the riverbank to find drinking water for they 00:10:02.571 --> 00:10:04.851 couldn't drink the water from the Nile. 00:10:05.601 --> 00:10:09.921 Seven days passed from the time the Lord struck the Nile. 00:10:11.541 --> 00:10:16.222 Then the Lord said to Moses, go back to Pharaoh and announced to 00:10:16.281 --> 00:10:18.951 him, this is what the Lord says. 00:10:19.431 --> 00:10:22.011 Let my people go so they can worship me. 00:10:22.776 --> 00:10:28.116 If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs across your entire land. 00:10:28.566 --> 00:10:30.906 The Nile River was swarm with frogs. 00:10:31.386 --> 00:10:35.556 They will come up out of the river and into your palace, even into 00:10:35.556 --> 00:10:37.896 your bedroom, and onto your bed. 00:10:38.616 --> 00:10:41.856 They will enter the houses of your officials and your people. 00:10:42.366 --> 00:10:45.726 They will even jump into your ovens and your kneading bowls. 00:10:46.326 --> 00:10:50.556 Frogs will jump on you, your people, and all your officials. 00:10:51.651 --> 00:10:57.831 Then the Lord said to Moses, tell Aaron, raise the staff in your hand over all 00:10:57.831 --> 00:11:03.981 the rivers, canals, and ponds of Egypt and bring up frogs over all the land. 00:11:04.881 --> 00:11:09.411 So Aaron raised his hand over the waters of Egypt, and frogs came 00:11:09.441 --> 00:11:10.911 up and covered the whole land. 00:11:11.571 --> 00:11:14.571 But the magicians were able to do the same thing with their magic. 00:11:15.291 --> 00:11:18.591 They too caused frogs to come up on the land of Egypt. 00:11:19.596 --> 00:11:24.906 Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and begged plead with the Lord to take 00:11:24.906 --> 00:11:26.706 the frogs away from me and my people. 00:11:27.276 --> 00:11:31.596 I will let your people go so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord. 00:11:32.946 --> 00:11:34.206 You set the time. 00:11:34.536 --> 00:11:38.736 Moses replied, tell me when you want me to pray for you, your 00:11:38.736 --> 00:11:40.596 officials, and your people. 00:11:41.136 --> 00:11:44.016 Then you and your houses will be rid of the frogs. 00:11:44.556 --> 00:11:46.986 They will remain only in the Nile River. 00:11:48.411 --> 00:11:49.461 Do it tomorrow. 00:11:50.121 --> 00:11:55.641 Pharaoh said, all right, Moses replied, it will be as you have 00:11:55.641 --> 00:12:00.021 said, then you will know that there is no one like the Lord our God. 00:12:00.621 --> 00:12:04.671 The frogs will leave you and your houses, your officials, and your people. 00:12:05.151 --> 00:12:07.971 They will remain only in the Nile River. 00:12:08.901 --> 00:12:14.391 So Moses and Aaron left Pharaoh's palace and Moses cried out to the Lord about 00:12:14.391 --> 00:12:16.641 the frogs he had inflicted on Pharaoh. 00:12:17.241 --> 00:12:20.121 And the Lord did just what Moses had predicted. 00:12:20.721 --> 00:12:25.521 The frogs and the houses, the courtyards and the fields all died. 00:12:26.361 --> 00:12:31.371 The Egyptians piled them into great heaps and a terrible stench filled the land. 00:12:32.271 --> 00:12:36.411 But when Pharaoh saw that relief had come, he became stubborn. 00:12:37.221 --> 00:12:42.111 He refused to listen to Moses and Aaron, just as the Lord had predicted. 00:12:44.331 --> 00:12:47.211 This concludes today's Immer Reading experience.
