lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt

like a wild ass's colt. (Job 11:12)

from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to
the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will
go to the left.

day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by
night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and

of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every

said, We will send men before us, and they shall
search us out the land, and bring us word again by
what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall
come. 23 And the saying pleased me well: and I took
twelve men of you, one of a tribe: (Deut 1:22-23)
6. The Pagan Rebel

4. Deut 13:1-4 1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a
dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2
And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he
spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which
thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt
not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that
dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth
you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with

after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his
commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve
him, and cleave unto him.

and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD,

from under the hand of the Syrians: and the children of
