00:15 Hi, I'm Kelly Mowrer and welcome to His Words Are Life.
00:18 Thank you for joining with me 00:20 again to read the Bible today. 00:21 But before we read, let's pray together. 00:24 Dear Jesus, thank you so much that we can come apart 00:27 just this little time and spend a few minutes in Your Word, 00:32 arming ourselves as we go through the day 00:35 and go through life to face... face everything with 00:39 Your precious promises, with Your wisdom, 00:42 because Your words truly ARE life. 00:44 Thank you so much for giving them to us. 00:46 Please send the Holy Spirit now and be with us as we read. 00:51 We love You so much and thank you for loving us. Amen. 00:55 We are reading today from the book of Exodus 00:58 starting in chapter 22 with verse 10. 01:01 And this is the King James version. 01:03 If a man deliver unto his neighbor an ass, or an ox, 01:08 or a sheep, or any beast, to keep, and it die, or be hurt, 01:12 or driven away, no one seeing it: 01:15 Then shall an oath of the Lord be between them both, 01:18 that he hath not put his hand unto his neighbor's goods; 01:22 and the owner of it shall accept thereof, 01:25 and he shall not make it good. 01:26 And if it be stolen from him, he shall make restitution 01:30 unto the owner thereof. 01:31 If it be torn in pieces, then let him bring it for witness, 01:35 and he shall not make good that which was torn. 01:38 And if a man borrow aught of his neighbor, and it be hurt, 01:41 or die, the owner thereof being not with it, 01:45 he shall surely make it good. 01:47 But if the owner thereof be with it, he shall not make it good: 01:51 if it be a hired thing, it came for his hire. 01:54 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, 01:58 and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife. 02:02 If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, 02:05 he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins. 02:08 Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. 02:11 Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. 02:15 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save to the Lord only, 02:20 he shall be utterly destroyed. 02:22 Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: 02:26 for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt. 02:29 Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. 02:33 If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all 02:36 unto me, I will surely hear their cry; 02:40 And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; 02:44 and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless. 02:47 If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, 02:53 thou shalt not be to him as a userer, 02:56 neither shalt thou lay upon him usury. 03:00 If thou at all take thy neighbor's raiment to pledge, 03:03 thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down: 03:07 For that is his covering only, it is his raiment for his skin: 03:11 wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, 03:14 when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious. 03:18 Thou shalt not revile the gods, 03:21 nor curse the ruler of thy people. 03:22 Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of thy ripe fruits, 03:26 and of thy liquors: the first-born of thy sons 03:29 shalt thou give unto Me. 03:30 Likewise shalt thou do with thine oxen, and with thy sheep: 03:34 seven days it shall be with his dam; 03:37 on the eighth day thou shalt give it to Me. 03:39 And you shall be holy men unto me: 03:41 neither shall ye eat of any flesh that is torn of beasts 03:44 in the field; ye shall cast it to the dogs. 03:48 Again, we are reading in the book of Exodus, 03:50 and starting with chapter 23. 03:53 And this is the King James version. 03:55 Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand 04:00 with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness. 04:03 Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; 04:07 neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many 04:10 to wrest judgment: 04:11 Neither shalt thou countenance a poor man in his cause. 04:15 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, 04:20 thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. 04:23 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee 04:26 lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, 04:30 thou shalt surely help with him. 04:32 Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor 04:35 in his cause. Keep thee far from a false matter; 04:41 and the innocent and the righteous slay thou not: 04:45 for I will not justify the wicked. 04:47 And thou shalt take no gift: for the gift blindeth the wise, 04:51 and perverteth the words of the righteous. 04:54 Also, thou shalt not oppress a stranger: 04:57 for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were 05:00 strangers in the land of Egypt. 05:02 And six years thou shalt sow thy land, 05:06 and shall gather in the fruits thereof: 05:08 But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still; 05:12 that the poor of thy people may eat; 05:15 and what they leave the beasts of the field shall eat. 05:18 In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard, 05:21 and with thy olive yard. 05:22 Six days thou shalt do thy work, and on the seventh day 05:25 thou shalt rest: that thine ox and thine ass may rest, 05:29 and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed. 05:32 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: 05:37 and make no mention of the name of other gods, 05:40 neither let it be heard out of thy mouth. 05:42 Three times thou shalt keep a 05:45 feast unto Me in the year. 05:48 Thou shalt keep the feast of 05:49 unleavened bread: 05:50 (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, 05:54 in the time appointed of the month Abib; 05:57 for in it thou camest out from Egypt: 05:59 and none shall appear before me empty:) 06:01 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of thy labors, 06:05 which thou has sown in the field: 06:07 and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, 06:11 when thou has gathered in thy labors out of the field. 06:14 Three times in the year all thy males shall appear 06:18 before the Lord God. 06:20 Thou shalt not offer the blood of My sacrifice 06:24 with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of My sacrifice 06:28 remain until the morning. 06:31 The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring 06:34 into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe 06:37 a kid in his mother's milk. 06:40 Behold, I send an angel before thee, 06:43 to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place 06:46 which I have prepared. 06:48 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; 06:52 for he will not pardon your transgressions; 06:55 for My name is in him. 06:57 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, 07:01 and do all that I speak; 07:04 then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, 07:07 and an adversary unto thine adversaries. 07:10 For mine angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in 07:14 unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, 07:17 and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: 07:20 and I will cut them off. 07:22 Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, 07:25 nor do after their works: 07:27 but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, 07:30 and quite break down their images. 07:33 And you shall serve the Lord your God, 07:36 and He shall bless thy bread, and thy water; 07:39 and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. 07:43 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, 07:46 in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfill. 07:50 I will send My fear before thee, and will destroy all the people 07:54 to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies 07:57 turn their backs unto thee. 07:59 And I will send hornets before thee, 08:02 which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, 08:04 and the Hittite, from before thee. 08:06 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; 08:09 lest the land become desolate, 08:11 and the beast of the field multiply against thee. 08:13 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, 08:17 until thou be increased, and inherit the land. 08:21 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea even unto the sea 08:24 of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: 08:27 for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land 08:29 into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee. 08:33 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 08:37 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin 08:41 against Me: for if thou serve their gods, 08:44 it will surely be a snare unto thee. 08:47 Continuing to read in the book of Exodus 08:50 with chapter 24. And this is the King James version. 08:53 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the Lord, 08:57 thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders 09:01 of Israel; and worship ye afar off. 09:04 And Moses alone shall come near the Lord: 09:07 but they shall not come nigh; 09:08 neither shall the people go up with him. 09:10 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord 09:14 and all the judgments: and all the people answered 09:17 with one voice, and said, All the words which the Lord 09:20 hath said will we do. 09:23 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord, 09:26 and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar 09:29 under the hill, and twelve pillars, 09:31 according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 09:34 And he sent young men of the children of Israel, 09:36 which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed peace offerings 09:39 of oxen unto the Lord. And Moses took half of the blood, 09:42 and put it in basins; and half of the blood 09:44 he sprinkled on the altar. 09:45 And he took the book of the covenant, and read 09:48 in the audience of the people: and they said, 09:50 All that the Lord hath said will we do, and be obedient. 09:55 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, 09:58 and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, 10:01 which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words. 10:06 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, 10:09 and seventy of the elders of Isarel: 10:11 And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under His feet 10:16 as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, 10:20 and as it were the body of heaven in His clearness. 10:24 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel 10:27 He laid not His hand: 10:29 also they saw God, and did eat and drink. 10:32 And the Lord said unto Moses, Come up to Me into the mount, 10:35 and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, 10:39 and a law, and commandments which I have written; 10:41 that thou mayest teach them. 10:44 And Moses rose up, and his minister Joshua: 10:47 and Moses went up into the mount of God. 10:49 And he said unto the elders, Tarry ye here for us, 10:53 until we come again unto you: and, behold, Aaron and Hur 10:56 are with you: if any man have any matters to do, 10:59 let him come unto them. 11:00 And Moses went up into the mount, 11:03 and a cloud covered the mount. 11:04 And the glory of the Lord abode upon mount Sinai, 11:08 and the cloud covered it six days: 11:10 and the seventh day He called unto Moses 11:12 out of the midst of the cloud. 11:14 And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like devouring fire 11:19 on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. 11:22 And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, 11:25 and gat him up into the mount: 11:27 and Moses was in the mount forty days and forty nights. 11:31 We're continuing to read in the book of Exodus, 11:34 and this is chapter 25. 11:35 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 11:39 Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring Me 11:41 an offering: of every man that giveth it willingly 11:44 with his heart ye shall take My offering. 11:47 And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; 11:49 gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, 11:54 and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, 11:58 and badgers' skins, and shittim wood, 12:01 Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, 12:04 and for sweet incense. 12:05 Onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod, 12:08 and in the breastplate. 12:10 And let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them. 12:14 According to all that I show thee, after the pattern of the 12:18 tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, 12:22 even so shall ye make it. 12:24 And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: 12:27 two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, 12:30 and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, 12:33 and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 12:35 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, 12:39 within and without shalt thou overlay it, 12:41 and shall make upon it a crown of gold around about. 12:45 And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, 12:48 and put them in the four corners thereof; 12:50 and two rings shall be in the one side of it, 12:53 and two rings in the other side of it. 12:55 And thou shalt make staves of shittim wood, 12:58 and overlay them with gold. 13:00 And thou shalt put the staves into the rings by the sides 13:03 of the ark, that the ark may be borne with them. 13:07 The staves shall be in the rings of the ark: 13:09 they shall not be taken from it. 13:11 And thou shalt put into the ark 13:13 the testimony which I shall give thee. 13:15 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: 13:19 two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, 13:22 and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof. 13:24 And thou shalt make two cherubim's of gold, 13:27 of beaten work shalt thou make them, 13:30 in the two ends of the mercy seat. 13:32 And make one cherub on the one end, 13:34 and the other cherub on the other end: 13:36 even of the mercy seat shall ye make the cherubim's 13:39 on the two ends thereof. 13:41 And the cherubim's shall stretch forth their wings on high, 13:44 covering the mercy seat with their wings, 13:47 and their faces shall look one to another; 13:50 toward the mercy seat shall the faces of the cherubim's be. 13:53 And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark; and in the 13:58 ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee. 14:02 And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee 14:06 from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim's 14:10 which are upon the ark of the testimony, 14:11 of all things which I will give thee in commandment 14:15 unto the children of Israel. 14:18 Thank you for joining with me today to read the Word of God. 14:21 And as we leave this time together and go off 14:25 into our lives and into service to each other and service 14:29 to God, I pray that the words here will stay with us 14:33 and that we will commune with God always at the seat of mercy 14:35 and the grace that He has given according to each of our lives. 14:38 Until next time, thank you and goodbye. |
