,,adopted ,,son   ,,the ,,story ,,of    
,,moses   ,,abraham1 a descendant of    
,shem1 one of the sons of ,noah1 was the
 father and founder of the great        
,israelitish1 or ,hebrew1 nation4 ,god  
chose him from all the people living on 
the earth at that time1 for this        
purpose1 promising that ,he would make  
his name great and that his descendants 
should have for their own the land of   
,canaan1 a country in ,palestine lying  
west of the river ,jordan and the ,dead 
,sea4  ,abraham had a son named ,isaac1 
who became the father of ,jacob1 and    
,jacob was the father of twelve sons1   
among whom was ,joseph1 who was sold    
into slavery by his brothers when but a 
boy4 ,joseph was taken to ,egypt and in 
time rose from a slave to be the        
governor of that country under ,pharaoh1
 its king4  ,jacob1 with his eleven sons
 and their families1 settled in ,egypt  
at the invitation of ,pharaoh1 and after
 the death of their father his sons     
continued to live there1 and became     

prosperous4 ,after the death of ,joseph 
they increased rapidly in numbers1 and  
from shepherds and herders of flocks    
became masters of various crafts and    
occupations4 ,at this time they began to
 be called ,the ,children of ,israel4   
,they lived in towns and villages in the
 land of ,goshen1 on the eastern border 
of ,egypt1 industrious and contented4   
,the king who had been so friendly to   
,joseph was now dead1 and another       
,pharaoh ruled the land4 ,he watched    
with much distrust the growing wealth   
and greatness of the children of ,israel
 and determined to prevent any possible 
harm they might do him by making them   
work for him instead of for themselves4 
,so ,pharaoh began to treat the         
,israelites like slaves4 ,under the     
direction of his officers he set them at
 work making bricks and then had them   
build two cities to hold his treasures4 
,from a prosperous people they were now 
reduced to the condition of common      
laborers1 working without pay day after 

day in the burning heat of that country4
  ,illustration3 ,working without pay   
day after day4 ,,working ,,without ,,pay
 ,,day ,,after ,,day4  ,but in spite of 
their hardships the ,israelites         
increased in numbers1 and1 to further   
crush them1 ,pharaoh ordered that all   
their boys should be destroyed as soon  
as they were born4 ,but the people would
 not obey this order1 and then ,pharaoh 
commanded that all boys should be flung 
into the ,nile1 the sacred river of     
,egypt1 immediately after their birth4  
,at this time a child was born among the
 ,israelites whose life was to be one of
 the most remarkable that history has   
recorded for us4 ,his father's name was 
,amram and his mother's ,jochebed1 and  
they belonged to the tribe of ,levi1 the
 third son of ,jacob4 ,they had two     
older children1 a son named ,aaron and a
 daughter named ,miriam4  ,the mother of
 this little boy managed to keep him out
 of sight for three months1 and then she
 made a little boat of the water-reeds  

called papyrus1 fastening them together 
with clay and pitch4 ,it was not much   
more than a basket1 but she put the baby
 into it and placed it among the rushes 
at the edge of the river ,nile1 leaving 
her daughter ,miriam to see what became 
of her baby brother4  ,the ,egyptians   
had many beliefs which appear very      
strange to us now4 ,one of them was that
 anything surrounded by papyrus would be
 safe from the crocodiles which infested
 the river4 ,possibly ,jochebed had some
 faith in this superstition1 for during 
the time when the ,israelites were      
living contentedly in the land of       
,goshen1 many of them had fallen into   
the customs of the ,egyptians1          
worshipping ,ra1 the sun-god1 ,apis1 the
 sacred calf1 and others of their       
national deities4  ,while ,miriam was   
watching the little boat and its        
precious burden1 the daughter of        
,pharaoh1 with her attendants1 came to  
the river to bathe4 ,she saw the little 
boat floating among the rushes and      

ordered it to be brought to her4 ,as she
 looked down at the baby it cried1 and1 
while she must have known that it was   
the child of ,israelitish parents1 her  
heart went out to it in pity1 and she   
declared that she would bring it up as  
if it had been her own child4           
,illustration3 ,it was not much more    
than a basket4 ,,it ,,was ,,not ,,much  
,,more ,,than ,a ,,basket4  ,miriam then
 came forward and asked if she might    
find a nurse for the child4 ,the        
princess sent her on this errand and the
 little girl hastened to bring her      
mother4 ,then the princess gave the baby
 into the charge of its own mother1 and 
promised her that she should be paid for
 taking good care of the child4  ,when  
the baby had grown to be quite a boy the
 princess took him to her palace and    
treated him as if he had been a son of  
her own4 ,she named him ,moses1 which   
means drawn out1 because she had taken  
him from the water4  ,then the princess 
had him trained and taught as though he 

were really to be a prince4 ,he was     
instructed in all the wisdom of the     
,egyptians and became learned and       
powerful4 ,all the pleasures and honors 
of ,pharaoh's court were open to him1   
and from them he could have selected    
what pleased him most4  ,but the misery 
and degradation of his own people       
appealed to him more strongly than the  
splendor and preferments of the         
,egyptian court4 ,his spirit was        
especially stirred one day when he saw  
an ,egyptian overseer abusing an        
,israelite in the fields where that     
oppressed people were still making      
bricks4  ,in his anger at this sight he 
killed the ,egyptian and buried the body
 in the sand4 ,the next day he          
interfered in another quarrel--this time
 between two of his own people1 but all 
he received for his efforts as          
peacemaker was the knowledge that they  
knew he had killed the ,egyptian the day
 before4  ,for this reason1 and also    
because ,pharaoh suspected him of       

scheming to deliver the ,israelites from
 their bondage1 ,moses felt that his    
life was not safe in ,egypt1 so he left 
the court and went to the land of       
,midian4 ,he was then forty years old4  
,one day when he was resting by the side
 of a well1 the seven daughters of      
,jethro1 the chief and priest of        
,midian1 came there to water their      
father's sheep4 ,some shepherds1 who    
also wanted to use the well1 drove them 
away1 but ,moses took the part of the   
maidens and watered their flocks for    
them4  ,when ,jethro heard of this he   
invited ,moses to be his shepherd and to
 live in his house4 ,moses accepted the 
home offered him1 and in time married   
,zipporah1 one of ,jethro's daughters4  
,they had two sons1 one named ,gershom1 
a word which means stranger1 and        
,eliezer1 or ,god is my help4  ,for the 
next forty years ,moses led the life of 
a shepherd in the land of ,midian1 in   
gradual preparation for the great work  
he was to do later4 ,he certainly       

learned patience and must have become   
familiar with the country through which 
he was to lead the children of ,israel  
when the time of their deliverance from 
,egypt came4 ,during this time the      
afflictions of the ,israelites had been 
increased4 ,another ,pharaoh ruled the  
land1 but his reign brought no relief to
 the nation toiling under cruel         
taskmasters4  ,one day ,moses was       
feeding his flocks on a mountain called 
,horeb1 when he saw a bush of wild      
thorn1 or acacia1 apparently on fire4   
,he looked more closely but could see no
 smoke1 neither were the leaves and     
twigs blackened or consumed4            
,illustration3 ,a bush of acacia        
apparently on fire4 ,a ,,bush ,,of      
,,acacia ,,apparently ,,on ,,fire4      
,then a ,voice which seemed to come from
 the bush called1 ,moses1 ,moses4       
,understanding that it was the ,voice of
 ,god1 ,moses answered1 ,here am ,i4    
,then ,god told him to come no nearer1  
and to take off his shoes and stand with

 bare feet1 for ,his presence made the  
spot holy ground4  ,moses tremblingly   
obeyed and stood with covered face while
 ,god told him that ,he had heard the   
cries and seen the affliction of the    
children of ,israel1 and that ,he would 
set them free from their bondage in     
,egypt4 ,he told ,moses that ,he had    
chosen him to be the deliverer of ,his  
people and their leader to the land of  
,canaan1 which ,he had promised to      
,abraham4  ,moses felt unequal to this  
great undertaking and tried to excuse   
himself on various grounds4 ,he said    
that the ,israelites would not listen to
 him unless he could1 by means of signs 
and wonders1 convince them that he was  
the divinely appointed leader1 and he   
also said that he was not a ready       
speaker4  ,but ,god told him just what  
he had to do and that his brother ,aaron
 should be his spokesman4 ,he bestowed  
upon him the power to do wonderful      
things and promised ,his own protection 
and help4 ,moses could refuse no longer1

 and accepted the divine commission4    
,then the ,voice ceased1 the vision of  
the burning bush faded away1 and ,moses 
was alone again with his flocks4  ,when 
,moses returned to his home he told     
,jethro that he wished to go to ,egypt1 
and in the speech of those days ,jethro 
replied1 ,go in peace4 ,so ,moses set   
out on his journey and on the way met   
his brother ,aaron1 whom ,god had sent  
to meet him4  ,then ,moses related to   
,aaron all that ,god had said to him    
from the burning bush1 told him the part
 he was to take in ,god's plan1 and     
showed him the rod which he was to use  
in performing the wonderful things by   
which the ,israelites were to be        
convinced that he was their divinely    
appointed deliverer from the land of    
,egypt4 ,then the two brothers went on  
their way together4  ,as soon as ,moses 
and ,aaron arrived in ,egypt1 they      
called the people together and told them
 that ,god was going to deliver them    
from their bondage and give them the    

land of ,canaan4 ,at first the          
,israelites were very thankful for the  
message1 but after the first failure of 
,moses to get ,pharaoh's consent to let 
them go they began to doubt it1         
especially as from that time the ,king  
imposed harder tasks than ever upon     
them4  ,then ,moses and ,aaron went a   
second time to ,pharaoh4 ,aaron threw   
down his rod and it became a serpent4   
,the magicians of the court did the same
 thing1 and threw down their rods1 which
 became serpents1 but ,aaron's rod      
swallowed theirs4 ,then the ,king once  
more refused to let the people go4      
,illustration3 ,aaron threw down his rod
 and it became a serpent4 ,,aaron       
,,threw ,,down ,,his ,,rod ,,and ,,it   
,,became ,a ,,serpent4  ,then1 one after
 another1 ,god sent terrible plagues    
upon the ,egyptian people to show       
,pharaoh that ,he was the one ,living   
and ,true ,god and that the children of 
,israel must be allowed to go to the    
land ,he had promised them4  ,the first 

of these plagues was the changing of the
 waters of the ,nile into blood4 ,the   
,egyptians were a very cleanly people1  
paying great attention to their bodies1 
and were generally dressed in white4    
,they were accustomed to bathe in the   
,nile1 and its appearance at this time  
must have filled them with loathing4    
,but ,pharaoh again refused to let the  
people go4  ,then one after another     
eight more plagues were sent upon the   
land4 ,they were equally disgusting to  
such a people and gave them the greatest
 discomfort possible1 but1 while        
,pharaoh relented from time to time1 he 
persisted in his refusal to let the     
children of ,israel depart from his     
kingdom4  ,during all this time the land
 of ,goshen1 where the ,israelites      
lived1 was exempt from these            
inflictions4 ,pharaoh must have known   
this and he must have begun to          
understand that their ,god punished     
those who refused to do as ,he told     
them1 but he was obstinate and still    

refused his consent4 ,it required       
another and a more severe judgment      
before ,pharaoh consented to let the    
children of ,israel go4  ,it was now the
 month of ,nisan or ,abib1 which means  
the month of green ears1 and in         
consequence of what occurred at that    
time ,abib has ever since been the first
 month of the ,hebrew sacred year4 ,by  
,god's command the blood of a lamb was  
to be sprinkled upon the sides and top  
of the doorway to every ,israelitish    
home4 ,the lamb itself was to be roasted
 and eaten by the family1 who were to be
 dressed for a journey and ready to     
start on it at a moment's notice4  ,at  
midnight the tenth and last judgment    
fell on the ,egyptians4 ,a wail of      
anguish rose from every home in the     
land1 for the first-born child in every 
home lay dead4 ,the angel of death had  
entered the palace of the ,king and the 
hovel of his poorest subject alike1     
sparing only the homes where the        
blood-sprinkled doorways told of ,god's 

protection4  ,convinced at last that he 
could not successfully combat the ,god  
of the ,israelites1 ,pharaoh now begged 
,moses to hasten their departure1 and   
the ,egyptian people were so anxious to 
have them out of the land that they gave
 them jewels and clothing to induce them
 to go quickly4  ,so the whole          
,israelitish nation--some six hundred   
thousand men without counting the women 
and children--set forth1 on foot and in 
the night1 under the leadership of      
,moses1 for the land of ,canaan4 ,with  
them they took the coffin containing the
 embalmed body of ,joseph1 which had    
been carefully kept in ,egypt since his 
death4 ,and ,god showed them the way    
they were to go by having a cloud move  
before them in the daytime1 and gave it 
the appearance of fire at night4        
,illustration3 ,the appearance of fire  
at night4 ,,the ,,appearance ,,of ,,fire
 ,,at ,,night4  ,the shortest way to the
 ,promised ,land1 which lay along the   
eastern coast of the ,mediterranean     

,sea1 led through the country of the    
,philistines1 a warlike people who      
afterwards became the inveterate enemies
 of the ,israelites1 but with whom they 
were not now able to contend4 ,so they  
traveled in a southeasterly direction   
until they came to that part of the ,red
 ,sea which is now called the ,gulf of  
,suez4  ,pharaoh in the meanwhile had   
recovered from his terror and remorse1  
and with a mighty army was pursuing the 
,israelites1 intending to take them back
 to ,egypt4 ,he first came in sight of  
them encamped upon the ,african border  
of the ,gulf4 ,when the ,israelites knew
 that they were pursued they turned     
angrily upon ,moses and ,aaron for      
taking them away from ,egypt4 ,but      
,moses told them to trust ,god for ,he  
would not let ,pharaoh overtake them4   
,then ,moses lifted his rod and         
stretched it out over the waters1 and   
,god sent a strong east wind which      
forced them back and left a passage for 
the wandering people to cross to the    

other shore4 ,so on they marched in the 
fury of the storm1 while ,pharaoh and   
his host were overwhelmed by the waters1
 which rushed back again after the      
children of ,israel had reached the     
further side4  ,illustration3 ,pharaoh  
and his host were overwhelmed4 ,,pharaoh
 ,,and ,,his ,,host ,,were              
,,overwhelmed4  ,then the ,israelites   
broke out into songs of praise and      
thanksgiving to ,god1 who had so        
marvelously preserved them from         
,pharaoh's anger1 led by ,miriam1 the   
sister of ,moses1 the one who had       
watched him as a baby in his little     
papyrus boat among the rushes on the    
bank of the ,nile4  ,during the next    
three days of their journey no water was
 found4 ,then they came to a well1 but  
the water was not fit to drink4 ,again  
they found fault with ,moses1 but he    
threw a tree which ,god showed him into 
the well and the water at once became   
sweet and good4  ,before long they were 
traveling in a desert country and their 

stock of food gave out4 ,as before1 the 
,israelites accused ,moses of having led
 them from ,egypt to die in the         
wilderness4 ,but ,god sent them great   
flocks of quails1 upon which they fed1  
and covered the ground every morning    
with a curious substance1 round and     
white1 which was good to eat4 ,in wonder
 the ,israelites exclaimed ,man-hu8     
which meant ,what is it8 and so this    
mysterious food began to be called      
manna4  ,illustration3 ,covered the     
ground with a curious substance4        
,,covered ,,the ,,ground ,,with ,a      
,,curious ,,substance4  ,then they got  
out of the desert and camped at a place 
called ,rephidim4 ,but here there was no
 water1 and the people became so angry  
with ,moses that they were ready to kill
 him4 ,then ,god told ,moses to strike  
one of the rocks with his rod and water 
poured out in abundance4  ,illustration3
 ,water poured out in abundance4 ,,water
 ,,poured ,,out ,,in ,,abundance4  ,then
 a new trouble came upon the wandering  

nation4 ,a people called the ,amalekites
 attacked them1 and for the first time  
since leaving ,egypt they were obliged  
to defend themselves by fighting4       
,moses chose a young man named ,joshua  
to be the leader of a selected band and 
sent him to do battle for the children  
of ,israel1 while he held up his hands  
in prayer to ,god to help ,his people4  
,so long as ,moses' hands were uplifted 
,joshua was victorious1 but when from   
weariness he let them fall then the     
,amalekites prevailed4 ,so ,aaron on one
 side and ,hur on the other supported   
his weary arms and at sunset ,joshua had
 won the battle4  ,shortly after this   
,moses was visited by ,jethro1 his      
father-in-law1 who brought with him     
,moses' wife and two sons1 who had      
remained with him in ,midian for safety4
 ,moses welcomed them and told ,jethro  
all the wonderful things ,god had done  
for ,his people4 ,then ,jethro said1    
,now ,i know that the ,lord is greater  
than all gods4  ,from ,rephidim the     

,israelites passed into the desert of   
,sinai and from the top of ,mount ,sinai
 ,god gave ,moses a message for them4   
,among clouds from which lightning      
gleamed and thunder muttered1 ,moses was
 given the ,ten ,commandments1 which    
were to be kept by the ,israelites and  
their children1 and laws which they were
 to observe4  ,illustration3 ,among     
clouds from which lightning gleamed4    
,,among ,,clouds ,,from ,,which         
,,lightning ,,gleamed4  ,a second time  
,moses was called to communion with ,god
 on ,mount ,sinai1 and ,aaron1 ,nadab1  
,abihu1 and seventy of the elders of the
 children of ,israel were permitted to  
accompany him a part of the way1 while  
he and ,joshua1 the young leader of the 
,israelites in their first battle1 went 
on further4  ,after waiting for six days
 ,moses went alone nearer to the top of 
the mountain and staid there forty days 
and forty nights while ,god disclosed to
 him ,his purposes regarding the        
children of ,israel1 and delivered into 

his hands two tables or tablets of stone
 upon which ,he had graven the ,ten     
,commandments4  ,when ,moses came down  
from ,mount ,sinai a strange sight met  
his eyes4 ,in his absence the fickle    
,israelites had persuaded ,aaron to make
 them an idol such as they had seen in  
,egypt and which they could worship4    
,they had given ,aaron their jewels of  
gold and he had made of them a golden   
calf1 to which they were now bowing down
 and offering sacrifices4 ,in his anger 
,moses cast the tablets of stone from   
him and in their fall they were broken4 
,then after reproaching ,aaron for what 
he had done1 ,moses destroyed the golden
 calf by fire and by grinding it to     
powder1 and strewed the ashes and powder
 upon water1 which he made the          
,israelites drink4  ,then he stood at   
the gate of the camp and called for all 
those who were on the ,lord's side to   
come and stand beside him4 ,the children
 of ,levi1 the third son of ,jacob1     
answered this call1 and ,moses told them

 to go through the camp and slay every  
man they met4 ,this they did1 and three 
thousand ,israelites fell at that time4 
,after this ,god told ,moses to make two
 tablets of stone like those he had     
broken1 and with them come alone to ,him
 on ,mount ,sinai1 where ,he would      
engrave upon them the words which were  
on the first tablets4 ,moses did this1  
and when he came down from the mountain 
his face shone so that ,aaron and the   
people were afraid to speak to him until
 he had put a veil over it4  ,for more  
than a year the ,israelites remained    
near ,mount ,sinai1 and during that time
 ,moses told them1 among other things   
which ,god had imparted to him1 how the 
,tabernacle was to be made1 who its     
priests were to be1 and how the services
 were to be conducted4 ,the people      
brought him all the material they had   
that was suitable for those purposes1   
and skilful men built the beautiful and 
costly ,tabernacle1 in which was placed 
the ,ark of the ,covenant1 which they   

were also instructed to make4  ,aaron   
was appointed high priest and his four  
sons were made priests to assist him in 
the services4 ,the ,sabbath or seventh  
day was to be strictly kept1 and various
 feasts and ceremonies were instituted4 
,particularly the feast of the ,passover
 was enjoined upon the ,israelites to   
commemorate ,god's mercy in passing over
 their homes when the first-born of the 
,egyptians were slain4  ,then the pillar
 of cloud1 which1 with the pillar of    
fire1 had never ceased to show the      
,israelites the way they were to go in  
their journeys1 rested over the         
,tabernacle1 and at this sign that they 
were to resume their march to the land  
of ,canaan1 the children of ,israel     
marched forth once more and in time came
 to ,kadesh-barnea1 near the borders of 
the promised land4  ,then a man was     
chosen from each of the twelve tribes to
 see what the land of ,canaan was like  
and to find the best way of entering it4
 ,they were gone for forty days1 and    

when they returned their accounts       
differed4 ,all agreed as to the         
exceeding fruitfulness of the land1 in  
proof of which they brought back a bunch
 of grapes so large that it took two men
 to carry it4 ,but only two advised an  
immediate advance into the land4 ,these 
were ,joshua1 the young general1 and a  
man named ,caleb4  ,illustration3 ,a    
bunch of grapes that took two men to    
carry it4 ,a ,,bunch ,,of ,,grapes      
,,that ,,took ,,two ,,men ,,to ,,carry  
,,it4  ,the ten remaining messengers    
frightened the people by their account  
of the giants and warlike tribes they   
would have to encounter and the many    
dangers that would have to be met1 and  
the people1 fickle as ever1 believed    
these reports and again reproached their
 faithful leader4  ,but their punishment
 was swift and severe4 ,the ten         
messengers of evil died on the spot1 and
 ,god commanded ,moses to tell the      
people that1 for their doubting and     
faultfinding1 not one of them over      

twenty years old except ,joshua and     
,caleb should enter the land of ,canaan4
 ,their children might do so1 but they  
could never set foot in it4 ,they were  
to wander in the desert until they died4
  ,after thirty-eight years the         
wandering nation1 which during this time
 had been fed with manna and so cared   
for by ,god that they were neither      
footsore1 neither did their clothes wear
 out1 was again encamped at             
,kadesh-barnea4 ,in the interval great  
numbers of the people had died1 and here
 ,miriam1 the sister of ,moses and of   
,aaron1 died and was buried4 ,water was 
again scarce1 and the people1 as        
formerly1 heaped reproaches upon ,moses 
and ,aaron1 who asked ,god what to do4  
,god told them to speak to one of the   
rocks and it would produce water in     
plenty4 ,instead of doing exactly what  
they were told1 ,moses and ,aaron first 
rebuked the people and then ,moses      
struck the rock with his rod4 ,an       
abundant supply of water followed1 but  

for this act of disobedience and this   
display of irritation1 both of the      
brothers were forbidden to enter the    
land of ,canaan4  ,before long ,aaron   
died at the age of one hundred and      
twenty-three years and was buried in    
,mount ,hor4 ,after mourning him for    
thirty days1 the people again broke out 
into discontent and in punishment were  
bitten by venomous serpents1 which were 
sent among them for that purpose4 ,many 
died in this way1 and then the people   
turned to ,moses1 who prayed to ,god in 
their behalf4 ,god told ,moses to make a
 serpent of brass and raise it upon a   
pole high above the heads of the people1
 and every one who looked upon this     
serpent1 although he had been bitten1   
was healed at once4  ,at last the       
,israelites came within sight of their  
inheritance and ,moses' work was nearly 
done4 ,he appointed ,joshua to succeed  
him and lead the children of ,israel    
into the land of ,canaan4 ,then he      
gathered the people together and made   

them an affectionate farewell address4  
,he wrote down for them all the words of
 the laws which ,god had given him for  
them and gave them to the priest4       
,illustration3 ,moses made them a       
farewell address4 ,,moses ,,made ,,them 
,a ,,farewell ,,address4  ,then ,moses  
went up from the plains of ,moab onto a 
mountain from which he could look over  
the land of ,canaan1 which he was not to
 enter1 and there he died4 ,he was one  
hundred and twenty years old1 yet we are
 told that his eyesight was undimmed4   
,where he was buried no one knows4 ,the 
,bible says1 ,the ,lord buried him in a 
valley in the land of ,moab1 over       
against ,bethpeor4  ,illustration3 ,he  
looked out over the land of ,canaan4    
,,he ,,looked ,,out ,,over ,,the ,,land 
,,of ,,canaan4  ,illustration3 ,and     
there he died4 ,,and ,,there ,,he       
,,died4
