--> 00:00:10.996 One day Moses said to the Lord, you have been telling me take these people up 00:00:11.001 --> 00:00:15.346 to the Promised Land, but you haven't told me whom you will send with me. 00:00:15.826 --> 00:00:20.056 You have told me I know you by name and I look favorably on you. 00:00:20.731 --> 00:00:25.861 If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so 00:00:25.861 --> 00:00:30.391 I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor. 00:00:31.081 --> 00:00:34.171 And remember that this nation is your very own people. 00:00:35.371 --> 00:00:41.341 The Lord replied, I will personally go with you, Moses and I will give you rest. 00:00:41.791 --> 00:00:43.741 Everything will be fine for you. 00:00:44.821 --> 00:00:45.991 Then Moses said. 00:00:46.801 --> 00:00:51.151 If you don't personally go with us, don't make us leave this place. 00:00:51.541 --> 00:00:54.451 How will anyone know that you look favorably on me, 00:00:54.751 --> 00:00:56.521 on me, and on your people. 00:00:56.821 --> 00:01:01.651 If you don't go with us, for your presence among us sets your people 00:01:01.651 --> 00:01:07.021 in me, apart from all other people on the earth, the Lord replied to Moses. 00:01:08.821 --> 00:01:11.251 I will indeed do what you have asked for. 00:01:11.251 --> 00:01:14.881 I look favorably on you and I know you by name. 00:01:15.946 --> 00:01:20.566 Moses responded, then show me your glorious presence. 00:01:21.496 --> 00:01:27.406 The Lord replied, I will make all my goodness pass before you and I will call 00:01:27.406 --> 00:01:33.976 out my name Yahweh before you, for I will show mercy to anyone I choose and I 00:01:33.976 --> 00:01:36.346 will show compassion to anyone I choose. 00:01:36.766 --> 00:01:40.966 But you may not look directly at my face for no one may see 00:01:40.966 --> 00:01:44.566 me and live the Lord continued. 00:01:45.316 --> 00:01:51.256 Look, stand near me on this rock as my glorious presence passes by. 00:01:51.556 --> 00:01:54.436 I will hide you in the crevice of the rock and cover you with 00:01:54.436 --> 00:01:57.046 my hand until I have passed by. 00:01:57.706 --> 00:02:01.666 Then I will remove my hand and let you see me from behind, 00:02:02.056 --> 00:02:04.516 but my face will not be seen. 00:02:07.036 --> 00:02:08.716 Then the Lord told Moses. 00:02:09.451 --> 00:02:12.361 Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones. 00:02:12.871 --> 00:02:16.771 I will write on them the same words that were on the tablets you smashed. 00:02:17.221 --> 00:02:21.991 Be ready in the morning to climb up Mount Sinai and present yourself 00:02:21.991 --> 00:02:23.791 to me on the top of the mountain. 00:02:24.511 --> 00:02:26.671 No one else may come with you. 00:02:27.661 --> 00:02:31.381 In fact, no one is to appear anywhere on the mountain. 00:02:31.891 --> 00:02:35.221 Do not even let the flocks or herds graze near the mountain. 00:02:36.151 --> 00:02:41.431 So Moses chiseled out two tablets of stone, like the first ones early in the 00:02:41.431 --> 00:02:46.141 morning, he climbed Mount Sinai as the Lord had commanded him and he carried 00:02:46.171 --> 00:02:48.331 the two stone tablets in his hands. 00:02:49.321 --> 00:02:53.071 Then the Lord came down in a cloud and stood there with him and he 00:02:53.071 --> 00:02:55.741 called out his own name, Yahweh. 00:02:56.971 --> 00:03:02.281 The Lord passed in front of Moses, calling out Yahweh, the Lord, 00:03:02.581 --> 00:03:04.741 the God of compassion and mercy. 00:03:05.296 --> 00:03:10.606 I am slow to anger and filled with unfailing love and faithfulness. 00:03:11.266 --> 00:03:14.896 I lavish, unfailing love to a thousand generations. 00:03:15.436 --> 00:03:21.076 I forgive iniquity, rebellion and sin, but I do not excuse the guilty. 00:03:21.796 --> 00:03:25.486 I lay the sins of the parents upon their children and grandchildren. 00:03:25.786 --> 00:03:30.076 The entire family is affected, even children in the third 00:03:30.081 --> 00:03:31.846 and fourth generations. 00:03:34.741 --> 00:03:38.641 Moses immediately threw himself to the ground and worshiped, and 00:03:38.641 --> 00:03:43.471 he said, oh Lord, if it is true that I have found favor with 00:03:43.471 --> 00:03:45.961 you, then please travel with us. 00:03:46.471 --> 00:03:50.971 Yes, this is a stubborn and rebellious people, but please 00:03:50.971 --> 00:03:53.521 forgive our iniquity and our sins. 00:03:53.971 --> 00:03:57.061 Claim us as your own special possession. 00:03:59.671 --> 00:04:00.811 The Lord replied. 00:04:01.756 --> 00:04:06.556 Listen, I am making a covenant with you in the presence of all your 00:04:06.556 --> 00:04:11.266 people, I will perform miracles that have never been performed anywhere 00:04:11.506 --> 00:04:13.936 in all the earth or in any nation. 00:04:14.446 --> 00:04:18.166 And all the people around you will see the power of the Lord. 00:04:18.496 --> 00:04:21.556 The awesome power I will display for you. 00:04:22.426 --> 00:04:26.296 But listen carefully to everything I command you today. 00:04:27.031 --> 00:04:32.401 Then I will go ahead of you and drive out the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, 00:04:32.731 --> 00:04:35.761 parasites, hives, and Jebusites. 00:04:36.811 --> 00:04:40.051 Be very careful never to make a treaty with the people who live 00:04:40.051 --> 00:04:41.551 in the land where you are going. 00:04:42.121 --> 00:04:46.231 If you do, you will follow their evil ways and be trapped. 00:04:46.681 --> 00:04:51.661 Instead, you must break down their pagan altars, smash their sacred 00:04:51.661 --> 00:04:54.511 pillars, and cut down their Asher poles. 00:04:55.231 --> 00:04:57.151 You must worship no other gods. 00:04:57.151 --> 00:05:01.501 For the Lord whose very name is jealous, is a God who is jealous 00:05:01.501 --> 00:05:03.421 about his relationship with you. 00:05:04.201 --> 00:05:06.391 You must not make a treaty of any kind. 00:05:06.391 --> 00:05:10.621 With the people living in the land, they lust after their gods 00:05:10.771 --> 00:05:12.661 or offering sacrifices to them. 00:05:13.261 --> 00:05:16.351 They will invite you to join them in their sacrificial meals 00:05:16.681 --> 00:05:18.031 and you will go with them. 00:05:18.736 --> 00:05:23.146 Then you will accept their daughters who sacrifice to other gods as wives 00:05:23.146 --> 00:05:28.216 for your sons, and they will seduce your sons to commit adultery against me By 00:05:28.216 --> 00:05:34.366 worshiping other gods, you must not make any gods of molten metal for yourselves. 00:05:35.026 --> 00:05:38.116 You must celebrate the festival of unleavened bread. 00:05:38.656 --> 00:05:42.496 For seven days, the bread you eat must be made without yeast. 00:05:42.676 --> 00:05:47.806 Just as I commanded you celebrate this festival annually at the appointed 00:05:47.806 --> 00:05:52.996 time in early spring in the month of ABI for that is the anniversary 00:05:52.996 --> 00:05:54.706 of your departure from Egypt. 00:05:55.831 --> 00:06:00.121 The firstborn of every animal belongs to me, including the firstborn 00:06:00.121 --> 00:06:04.051 males from your herds of cattle and your flocks of sheep and goats. 00:06:04.561 --> 00:06:09.361 A firstborn donkey may be bought back from the Lord by presenting a lamb or 00:06:09.361 --> 00:06:14.701 young goat in its place, but if you do not buy it back, you must break 00:06:14.701 --> 00:06:18.161 its neck, however you must buy back. 00:06:18.211 --> 00:06:23.401 Every firstborn son, no one may appear before me without an offering. 00:06:24.091 --> 00:06:28.471 You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but on the seventh 00:06:28.471 --> 00:06:33.061 day, you must stop working even during the seasons of plowing and harvest. 00:06:33.631 --> 00:06:38.191 You must celebrate the festival of harvest with the first crop of the wheat harvest 00:06:38.431 --> 00:06:43.081 and celebrate the festival of the final harvest at the end of the harvest season. 00:06:43.756 --> 00:06:45.376 Three times each year. 00:06:45.616 --> 00:06:51.676 Every man in Israel must appear before the sovereign, the Lord, the God of Israel. 00:06:52.126 --> 00:06:58.126 I will drive out the other nations ahead of you and expand your territory so no 00:06:58.131 --> 00:07:00.256 one will covet and conquer your land. 00:07:00.496 --> 00:07:04.336 While you appear before the Lord your God three times each year. 00:07:05.146 --> 00:07:08.776 You must not offer the blood of my sacrificial offerings together with 00:07:08.776 --> 00:07:11.386 any baked goods containing yeast. 00:07:11.941 --> 00:07:15.541 And none of the meat of the Passover sacrifice may be kept 00:07:15.541 --> 00:07:17.311 over until the next morning. 00:07:18.181 --> 00:07:22.831 As you harvest your crops, bring the very best of the first harvest to the 00:07:22.836 --> 00:07:28.051 house of the Lord your God, you must not cook a young goat in its mother's milk. 00:07:28.801 --> 00:07:34.561 Then the Lord said to Moses, write down all these instructions for they 00:07:34.561 --> 00:07:38.821 represent the terms of the covenant I am making with you and with Israel. 00:07:40.711 --> 00:07:44.341 Moses remained there on the mountain with the Lord 40 days 00:07:44.341 --> 00:07:49.981 and 40 nights and all that time he ate no bread and drank no water. 00:07:50.701 --> 00:07:53.491 And the Lord wrote the terms of the covenant, the 10 00:07:53.491 --> 00:07:56.071 commandments on the stone tablets. 00:07:59.026 --> 00:08:04.006 When Moses came down Mount Sinai carrying the two stone tablets, inscribed with 00:08:04.006 --> 00:08:08.566 the terms of the covenant, he wasn't aware that his face had become radiant 00:08:08.926 --> 00:08:10.756 because he had spoken to the Lord. 00:08:11.356 --> 00:08:15.496 So when Aaron and the people of Israel saw the radiance of Moses' face, 00:08:15.946 --> 00:08:17.806 they were afraid to come near him. 00:08:18.466 --> 00:08:23.236 But Moses called out to them and asked Aaron and all the leaders of the community 00:08:23.236 --> 00:08:25.786 to come over and he talked with them. 00:08:26.626 --> 00:08:30.496 Then all the people of Israel approached him, and Moses gave 00:08:30.496 --> 00:08:34.186 them all the instructions the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai. 00:08:35.326 --> 00:08:39.916 When Moses finished speaking with them, he covered his face with a veil, 00:08:40.486 --> 00:08:44.716 but whenever he went into the tent of meeting to speak with the Lord, he would 00:08:44.721 --> 00:08:47.026 remove the veil until he came out again. 00:08:48.061 --> 00:08:51.481 Then he would give the people whatever instructions the Lord had given 00:08:51.481 --> 00:08:56.431 him, and the people of Israel would see the radiant glow of his face. 00:08:57.301 --> 00:09:02.131 So he would put the veil over his face until he returned to speak with the Lord. 00:09:02.451 --> 00:09:06.421 The This concludes today's immerse reading experience. 00:09:06.571 -->
