LECTURE VII.-HISTORY OF MOSES.

EXOD. X. 7.-And Pharaoh's servants said unto him, How long shall this man be a snare unto us?

Let the men go, that they may serve the Lord their God: knowest thou not yet, that Egypt is de-

stroyed?
44

Exod. XII. 1, 2, 3.—And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This

month shall be unto you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

Speak unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to

them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house.

LECTURE VIII.-HISTORY OF MOSES.

49

EXOD. XII. 26, 27.-And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean

you by this service? That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over

the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our

houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

PSALM XCI. 5, 6, 7, 8.-Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flieth

by day; nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at

noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not

come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the reward of the wicked.

LECTURE IX.-HISTORY OF MOSES.

EXOD. XIII. 17, 18, 19, 20. 21, 22.-And it came to pass when Pharaoh had let the people go, that

God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God

said. Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt. But God

led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of

Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. And Moses took the bones of Joseph with

him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye

shall carry up my bones away hence with you. And they took their journey from Succoth, and

encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went before them, by 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 night. He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night

from before the people.

EXOD. XIV. 21, 22.-And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the Lord caused the sea to

go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were di-

vided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the

waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left."
