cast into the Nile, but you shall let every
daughter live.”

well.

5. Exodus 3:7-8

affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have
heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know
their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver
them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring
them up out of that land to a good and broad
land, a land flowing with milk and honey

6. Exodus 4:2 &10
 But behold, they will not believe me or listen to
my voice
 But Moses said to the LORD, “Oh, my Lord, I am
not eloquent, either in the past or since you
have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of
speech and of tongue.”

7. Exodus 5:2
 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the LORD, that I
should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not
know the LORD, and moreover, I will not let
Israel go.”

8. Exodus 5:22-23
 Then Moses turned to the LORD and said, “O
Lord, why have you done evil to this people?
Why did you ever send me? For since I came to
Pharaoh to speak in your name, he has done
evil to this people, and you have not delivered
your people at all.”

9. Exodus 6:2-9
 God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD. I appeared to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the
LORD I did not make myself known to them. I also established my covenant
with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as
sojourners. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel
whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant.
Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out
from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to
them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of
judgment. I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you
shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you into the land that I swore
to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a
possession. I am the LORD.’” Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but
they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.

10. Exodus 6:12
 But Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, the
people of Israel have not listened to me. How
then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of
uncircumcised lips?

hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, that I may
show these signs of mine among them, and that you may tell
in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have
dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done
among them, that you may know that I am the LORD.” So
Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus
says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, ‘How long will you
refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, that
they may serve me. For if you refuse to let my people go,
behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your country, and
they shall cover the face of the land, so that no one can see
the land. And they shall eat what is left to you after the hail,
and they shall eat every tree of yours that grows in the field.

did not depart from before the people.

23. Exodus 14:1-4 The Message
 God spoke to Moses: “Tell the Israelites to turn
around and make camp at Pi Hahiroth, between
Migdol and the sea. Camp on the shore of the sea
opposite Baal Zephon. “Pharaoh will think, ‘The
Israelites are lost; they’re confused. The wilderness
has closed in on them.’ Then I’ll make Pharaoh’s
heart stubborn again and he’ll chase after them.
And I’ll use Pharaoh and his army to put my Glory
on display. Then the Egyptians will realize that I am
God.” And that’s what happened.

24. Exodus 14:10-12 The Message
 They were totally afraid. They cried out in terror to
God. They told Moses, “Weren’t the cemeteries
large enough in Egypt so that you had to take us
out here in the wilderness to die? What have you
done to us, taking us out of Egypt? Back in Egypt
didn’t we tell you this would happen? Didn’t we
tell you, ‘Leave us alone here in Egypt—we’re
better off as slaves in Egypt than as corpses in the
wilderness.’”

25. Exodus 14:13-14 The Message
 Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid.
Stand firm and watch God do his work of
salvation for you today. Take a good look at
the Egyptians today for you’re never going to
see them again. God will fight the battle for
you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!”

26. Exodus 14:30-31 The Message
 GOD delivered Israel that day from the
oppression of the Egyptians. And Israel looked
at the Egyptian dead, washed up on the shore
of the sea, and realized the tremendous power
that GOD brought against the Egyptians. The
people were in reverent awe before GOD and
trusted in GOD and his servant Moses.

27. Exodus 16:3
 and the people of Israel said to them, “Would
that we had died by the hand of the LORD in
the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat
pots and ate bread to the full, for you have
brought us out into this wilderness to kill this
whole assembly with hunger.”

28. Exodus 19:4-6
 You yourselves have seen what I did to the
Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings
and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if
you will indeed obey my voice and keep my
covenant, you shall be my treasured possession
among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and
you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a
holy nation. These are the words that you shall
speak to the people of Israel.”

29. Exodus 24:3
 Moses came and told the people all the words
of the LORD and all the rules. And all the
people answered with one voice and said, “All
the words that the LORD has spoken we will
do.”

30. Exodus 34:6-7
 The LORD passed before him and proclaimed,
“The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and
gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in
steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping
steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity
and transgression and sin

31. Exodus 34:10
 And he said, “Behold, I am making a covenant.
Before all your people I will do marvels, such as
have not been created in all the earth or in any
nation. And all the people among whom you
are shall see the work of the LORD, for it is an
awesome thing that I will do with you.

32. Exodus 34:29
 When Moses came down from Mount Sinai,
with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand
as he came down from the mountain, Moses
did not know that the skin of his face shone
because he had been talking with God.

33. Exodus 40:34-38
 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the
glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was
not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud
settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the
tabernacle. Throughout all their journeys, whenever the
cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the
people of Israel would set out. But if the cloud was not
taken up, then they did not set out till the day that it was
taken up. For the cloud of the LORD was on the
tabernacle by day, and fire was in it by night, in the sight
of all the house of Israel throughout all their journeys.
