Moses serves the Lord

Mo. 2/11/13: Exodus 3:11 – 12                  What sign did God give Moses?

But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

So He said, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” (Horeb, the mountain of God)

What sign did God give Moses? Moses will serve God on mount Horeb

Tu. 2/12/13: Exodus 10:25 – 26                  Did Moses know how he would serve God?

But Moses said, “You must also give us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. Our livestock also shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind. For we must take some of them to serve the Lord our God, and even we do not know with what we must serve the Lord until we arrive there.”

Did Moses know how he would serve God? No, Moses did not know.

We. 2/13/13: Exodus 12:31 – 32                  What did Pharaoh finally allow?

Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the Lord as you have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”

What did Pharaoh finally allow? Pharaoh let the people go.

Th. 2/14/13: Deuteronomy 9:9 – 10                  What did Moses do?

When I went up into the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water. Then the Lord delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words which the Lord had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

What did Moses do? Moses brought the law down.

Fr. 2/15/13: Deuteronomy 31:9                  Why did he spend 40 days and nights?

So Moses wrote this law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.

Why was it 40 days and nights? God taught him the Pentateuch!
