The Ten Commandments

"Thou heardest His words out of the midst of the fire." Deut. 4:36

When the Israelites had left Egypt, God told Moses to lead them to Mount Sinai. This was a high, rocky mountain in the wilderness. God told Moses to put a boundary - like a fence - around the mountain so that no one could touch it. It was a holy place. The people were to pray around it and wait. God covered the mountain with a dark cloud and smoke. The ground shook and they heard thunder and saw lightning from the sky. Then they heard God's voice speaking to them adn they were afraid. 

God spoke out of that cloud to Moses and gave him the Ten Commandments and the rest of the laws the people needed to obey. God wrote the commandments himself on two tablets of stone. 

God wants us to obey the commandments just like the Israelites needed to obey them. They are His words and should be kept. When we pray, we can ask for strength and help to obey them.

The Israelites Choose to Turn Away

"The people did eat, and bowed down to their gods."

Numbers 25:2

Balaam went to Balak and God made him bless the children of Israel when he wanted to curse them. But this didn't make Balaam good. He wanted the promised reward from Balak. So he told Balak that if he could make the people of Israel do something wicked and turn away from God, then God would punish them. 

So the two men sent women to the Israelites to invite them to a feast. The feast was to honor their idol Baal Peor. Many were foolish and accepted the invitation to the feast. They had made the choice to sin by going to the feast. God sent an illness and in one day 24,000 people died. 

But Phinehas, Aaron's grandson, did as Moses had commanded him. He first killed the wickedest of the people who had feasted and joined with Baal Peor. Then he prayed and cried over what had happened. The people prayed and cried too. God forgave them and stopped the illness.

Afterwards Phinehas led the Israelite men to punish Balak and his people. Balaam was killed during the fighting. All the wicked women who had tempted the Israelites were also killed. This ended Balaam's evil counsel. 

It's sad to think of Balaam, because he knew what was good and right to do but he chose to do the wrong thing. Remember that no one could hurt God's people until they chose to do wrong. Then God punished them. 

But today, because Jesus has come, God sees Jesus and how he died for our sins. He sees us through Jesus and gives us mercy and grace when we do the wrong things.

"There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel." Numbers 24:17

The Israelites wanted to pass through King Balak's land. They promised they would stay on the road and wouldn't leave it, but he was afraid of them. He'd heard the stories of the battles they'd fought with other kings. So Balak wanted to have the Israelites cursed. He wanted to bring God's anger on them. 

This was very mean of King Balak, but he didn't know God wouldn't let harm come upon his people. Balak tried to have the prophet Balaam curse the Israelites, but when Balaam spoke, he could only speak blessings over the people. He could only say that God was taking care of them and would be their king. He promised that a Star would come from the tribe of Jacob and a Sceptre would rise to be king. 

This meant that our Savior would come from the Israelites. This was Jesus. He was called a Star because He came to give us light. A bright star also marked the place where He was born. A sceptre is something a king carries in his hand. When Jesus is called the Sceptre it means that He will be king. 

Balak was very angry when Balaam didn't curse the Israelites but only blessed them. It wasn't God's will for him to hurt the Israelites. Balak went on with his wicked life and God continued to take care of his people. 

Remember that bad words and bad wishes do harm to the person who speaks them, not those they are meant for. If someone bullies you, know that God will take care of you just as he took care of the Israelites. Tell your parents or a pastor about the problem, and pray for the bully, because God loves him too.

"Thou shalt not curse the people : for they are blessed."

Numbers 22:12

A prophet - a man God speaks to and makes his will known - was named Balaam. One day some rich men came to his house with a message. They said that King Balak wanted him and would offer him a great reward if he came. Balaam said he needed a night to pray and discover God's will. God told him not to go because Balak wanted him to curse the children of Israel. The Israelites were traveling close to Balak's land and he'd heard stories about them. He was afraid of them. God told Balaam that the Israelites were blessed and he shouldn't curse them. So Balaam told the messengers to leave and they left. 

Balak sent more princes with even greater payments and asked Balaam to come see him. He told the messengers, "If Balak would give me his full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the Lord my God, to do less or more." But he told the messengers to stay and he would speak to God again to determine his will. 

This time God told him to go, but not to say anything about the Israelites except what God led him to say. Balaam knew God wasn't happy with him, but Balaam wanted the payment from Balak. So he left the next morning on his donkey.

The donkey became scared of something and left the road. It turned into a field, going the wrong way. Balaam grew angry and hit the donkey. But again the donkey turned away from the road. Balaam hit the donkey again and it fell down, still afraid. Then God worked a miracle and made the donkey speak. She asked Balaam why he was hitting her and why he was so mean to her. Balaam said he wished he had a sword so he could kill her.

"Have I ever acted like this before?" The donkey said. 

"No," Balaam said. 

Then he saw God's angel standing in front of him, a sword in his hand. Balaam fell on his face. The donkey had seen the angel and that's why she'd turned off the road. Balaam couldn't see him until God opened his eyes. Now he was afraid and wanted to return home, but the angel told him to move forward, but he would only be able to speak the words God allowed him to speak. 

Sometimes, if you've been told not to do something, do you think about it and still desire to do it, like Balaam? Maybe you keep asking to do it until you're given permission to do it or you do it anyway. Then you get excited and eager but become unkind to anything that hinders you. Have you then found that nothing good comes from getting your own way?

God Gave the Israelites Manna From Heaven

"He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not." Deut. 8:3

God gave the Israelites water to drink, but he also gave them food to eat.

All around the land were hard stones. There was some grass for the animals to eat, and a few trees, but they didn't have any fruit on them and there wasn't any corn to make bread. The people grew hungry and they started to complain. "What will happen to us?" They cried.

But God didn't forget them. When they woke up the next morning they found small, white discs on the ground. They tasted like wafers made with honey. 

This was called manna, and God had sent it to them to eat. It was there every morning except on the Sabbath. They had to wake up early to gather it, because it would melt in the sun. They had just enough for what they needed for the day. It would spoil if it was saved for the next day. The only day they could gather and save more was Friday, the day before their Sabbath day. This was because God had told them not to work on Saturday, the Sabbath day, and gathering the manna was considered work. Today, most people in the protestant church takes Sunday as a Sabbath day. 

The fourth commandment tells us to remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. All the time the Israelites were in the wilderness, the manna came to them each morning so they could have food.

The Brass Serpent Cures the Israelites

"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up." John 3:14

The Israelites weren't very patient. Anytime they had a problem, they began to complain and worry. They didn't remember that God was taking care of them and He does what is best for us. 

There was part of the journey that covered a lot of steep, stony ground. It was very hot and uncomfortable. When the Israelites saw the path ahead they started to complain and spoke out against God and Moses.

So again God punished them. He made little snakes that live in the desert come out of their hiding places. The snakes bit the complainers and they died. The others then said they were sorry and to please make the snakes stop. 

God told Moses what to do. Moses had to melt some brass and made the form of a serpent, one that looked like the little snakes that had bitten them, and put it on a pole. If anyone who had been bitten would come and look at the brass serpent his bite would get well and he wouldn't die.

This was a miracle God provided to teach the Israelites to trust in him. And we remember the brass serpent even today. If you look at the mark of a doctor today, the mark is a serpent on a pole. This image still stands for healing today.

God Provides Water from a Rock

"Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God." Deut. 6:16

A desert is full of rocks and sand, prickly plants and no water. Do you remember the story of Ishmael and how thirsty he was in the desert? God heard him crying for water and sent an angel to lead his mother to a well.

When the Israelites left Egypt, they were traveling through this wilderness. Mount Sinai stood up in the midst and all around them were rocks of red and black marble, all dry and parched under the hot sun. The Israelites were hot and thirsty, but they didn't pray as Ishmael had. Instead, they grew angry and said, "Is God with us or not?"

They tempted God by complaining. God could have punished them for complaining, but God showed mercy to them and pitied them. He told Moses to take his staff and go to a nearby rock. When Moses struck the rock God made a spring of water flow from it. All the people and their animals had enough to drink. 

God performed this great wonder and was very kind to provide for them, even though they were complaining. God was close to them and was with them all the time. They could have prayed instead of complaining. 

Don't be like the Israelites. When something hard happens, don't complain about it, but pray and God will help you. Either the problem will go away or you will better be able to handle it.

Aaron Chosen as the High Priest

"The rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded almonds." Numbers 17:8

God chose the high priest and his job was to offer sacrifices. The priest had to kill a lamb, goat or a bull by the altar and give it to God. This was before Jesus came. Jesus was the Son of God, and he died on the cross to take away our sin. Now that He has come and died, we don't sacrifice animals to God anymore. We remember Jesus' sacrifice when we take communion at church. 

The high priest had a beautiful tunic to wear. He wore a mitre on his head with a gold plate on it, and the words "Holiness unto the Lord". He wore a blue, red and white robe embroidered with gold and bells and pomegranates around the hem. He wore a scarf called an ephod and a breastplate made of twelve precious stones, each engraved with a name of a tribe of Israel. 

God said He would choose the high priest, so He told Moses to tell the chief man of each tribe to bring him a dry rod or staff and put them in the Holy Place of the tabernacle they built. The one whose rod would grow again, just as if it were still on a tree, would be the high priest. When the men returned the next morning, one of the rods had budded with green leaves and white flowers while the other eleven were still dry branches. It was Aaron's rod. This was God's way of letting the Israelites know that Aaron and his sons and grandsons after him were always to be priests.

Only The Priests Could Offer Incense

"And seek ye the priesthood also." Numbers 16:10

God chose Aaron and his sons to be priests. A priest had a special job. He had to offer the sacrifices to God and burn incense to Him. Incense is made of dried plants and has a sweet smell when it's burnt. The priests had bronze urns with holes at the top and they carried the urns with a chain attached to it. The smoke of the incense would rise up to God as a reminder of our prayers rising to God. 

God also said that part of the Israelites, a family called the Levites (because they were descendants of Levi) should take care of the holy things used in God's service, but only the priests could offer sacrifices and incense.

One of the Levites was named Korah. He wanted to do more. He was angry because Aaron was over the priesthood. He forgot that God had set Aaron as a priest. But Korah persuaded two hundred and fifty men to come and get the urns used to burn incense and burn incense to God, just as if they were priests. Because they did it in pride and self-will, God was angry with them. The fire burst out of the urns and burned the men, and they died.

Their wives and children lived and promised to follow God. They would sing God's praises in the Psalms. But the people always remembered after this that only a priest could offer a sacrifice or burn incense before God.

Honor Those God Has Placed Over Us

"The Lord will show who are His, and who is holy." Numbers 16:5

The Israelites had left Egypt and had to travel through the desert for a long time. There were no buildings or towns or even a village. They called it the wilderness. Moses and Aaron were leading them and God was taking care of all the people. God kept them safe and gave them food everyday. But there were two angry men in the camp, Dathan and Abiram, and they got tired of being in the wilderness. They grew angry at Moses and spoke out against him. 

"We are just as good as Moses," they said. "Why should he be our leader?"

They continued to cause conflict in the camp and would not repent. So God punished them. He made the earth open under their feet and they fell into a hole. They were swallowed up by the earth in front of all the Israelites. They died because they wanted to argue about Moses and set themselves over him, even though God had placed Moses in this position.

God has set people over us - our parents, our pastors and teachers, our government leaders. It's our duty to obey them as He tells us in the Fifth Commandment. We should honor them because God has placed these people in that special position. 

It's not likely that we would be punished the way Dathan and Abiram were, but their death should help us remember that God wants us to obey those he's placed over us.

Crossing the Red Sea

"The children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea." Exodus 14:16

The Egyptians had lost their first born sons and the Israelites had been freed. They were leaving Egypt and their life of slavery. 

But Pharaoh's hard heart turned again with anger. He called his chariots and horsemen together and followed the children of Israel to bring them back into Egypt. When he caught up to them, they were at the shores of the Red Sea. 

The Israelites were afraid when they saw Pharaoh coming. They couldn't go forward because of the sea and they couldn't go back because Pharaoh was there. But God spoke to Moses and told him not be afraid. The people just needed to stand still and see how God would save them.

God Himself showed the people he was with them. He'd been leading them in a pillar of cloud, but God moved within the pillar behind the Israelites, between them and the Egyptians, and made it dark to the Egyptians but gave light to the Israelites, even though it was night time. 

God told Moses to stretch his staff out over the sea. Moses obeyed and something amazing happened. The waves of the sea parted and stood up on each side. Between the wall of water there was a wide open space for the children of Israel to cross the sea, safe and dry. The people started across - men, women and children - with the waves standing still on each side of them.

Pharaoh saw they were crossing and tried to follow them. But when the Israelites had finished crossing, Pharaoh and his army was in the middle of the sea. The walls fell and the sea returned to its full strength again. Pharaoh and his army were lost in the sea where they sank like lead in the mighty water. 

The Israelites were standing on the other side of the sea and they knew they were free. They began to sing hymns of joy to God who had set them free. 

We sing hymns of joy to God, too, because of Jesus who set us free.

The Feast of the Passover

"It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover." Exodus 12:27

Once Pharaoh said they could go, the Israelites were already packed and dressed for the journey, just like God had told them. They started the journey, happy there would be no more making bricks, no more work for the Egyptians, and their children were safe. They were free, and God was leading them to a beautiful country that He said long ago He would give them.

To remind them how they were saved from the Egyptians, God told them that on the same day each year they should kill a lamb and roast it and put the blood on the doorpost of their home, just as they had before, and eat the lamb while dressed to go on a journey. This way, they would always remember what had happened and how God had made them free. 

This was called the Passover, because the angel passed over the houses where blood marked the doors.

They Israelites started their journey and God appeared in a pillar of cloud and lead them away from Egypt. 

Our Lord Jesus was crucified when He had come to celebrate the Feast of Passover many years later. He is called the Lamb of God, because he was pure and gentle, and His blood saves us and sets us free from the devil just as the lamb's blood saved the Israelites. Because of Jesus, we celebrate Passover and remember on Easter Sunday that after Jesus died on the cross, He rose again from the dead and now lives forever.

11. How did God lead them?

"There was not a house in which there was not one dead."

Exodus 12:30

Moses told the Israelite families what to do - take a lamb, kill it and roast it whole that evening. They needed to take some of its blood and use it to make a mark on the doorpost of their house. Then the families needed dress and pack for a journey and eat the lamb for their supper that night.

The Israelites obeyed God, and while they were eating supper there was a great shout. A great cry followed. God's angel had come and every house not marked with blood from a lamb had lost their first born son. The deaths were everywhere - even in Pharaoh's palace where he lost his own son. Even the first born of the cattle died because the Egyptians used to worship them. But if the angel saw the blood on the doorpost it passed over the house and the oldest son was saved. 

Pharaoh was sorry at last and said that the people who had brought his land such trouble could leave and go wherever they liked.

The Final Plague Comes

"He smote all the first-born in Egypt." Psalm 78:51

Nine sad plagues had come upon the Egyptians - the blood for water, frogs, lice, flies, the cattle's death, the boils, the hail, locusts and darkness. But there was one plague more, the last and the worst. This would make the Egyptians let the people of Israel go, so they had to be ready. 

It would be a horrible night. God told Moses that His angel would pass over the whole land of Egypt that night and in each house the oldest son would die. No one would be spared, from Pharaoh's palace to the poorest home in the city. Because they had killed the Israelite's children, God was going to take theirs. 

The people of Israel had to do something to protect their homes so the angel would pass over them. God told Moses to have the Israelite families eat a lamb for supper that night. They needed to take some of the blood from the lamb and make a mark on the doorpost outside. When the angel saw the mark he would pass over the house and no one would die. If they would do this, God would bless them and set them free.

The people believed God and they obeyed him.

Plagues of Locusts and Darkness

"The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go." Exodus 10:20

Pharaoh and the people of Egypt had not learned from the earlier plagues and warnings. Seven plagues had already passed, but the king wouldn't release the people. So God sent a plague of locusts. 

Locusts are like large grasshoppers. They came to Egypt in a swarm and ate every green leaf and blade of grass. The earth was bare and the trees were dry sticks. There wasn't anything left to eat.

Pharaoh then told Moses that the men could leave, but the women and children had to stay. Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out of his palace. 

God told Moses to hold his hand up to heaven. When he did, darkness fell over Egypt. It was so dark no fire or candle could give light. People said it could "be felt." No one moved around in the city for three days. But where the children of Israel were camped, the sun rose and set as usual. In this way God showed Egypt that the Israelites were his people. 

Pharaoh changed his mind again and set all the people could go but they had to leave their cattle behind. Moses told him, no, the cattle must come too. Pharaoh's heart grew hard again and he made Moses leave the palace again, swearing that Moses would never see his face again. 

Moses told him, "You've spoken the truth. I won't see your face again."

This ended the last hope for Pharaoh. He wouldn't have another chance to obey God. Let's be careful to not be like him.
