but of the living : for all live unto him.

History of Moses.

Heb. xi. 24–27.-By faith Mofes, when he was conie

to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daugh-

ter ; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people

of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the

treasures of Egypt : for he had respect unto the recom-

pense of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not

fearing the wrath of the king : for he endured as seeing

bim who is invisible.

Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the chil-

dren of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians,

and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the

head and worshipped.

Psal. xci. 5-8. 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 noon-day. A thousand

fall 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.

Exod. xiii. 17--22.--And it came to pass when Phara-

oh 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, Left peradventure the peo-

ple 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 Mo-

ses took the bones of Joseph with him : for he had strait-

ly 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 right, from before the people.

And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and three-score and ten palm-trees ; and they encamped there by the waters.

saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Ifrael : Speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread : and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God. And it came to pass, that at even the quails came up and covered the camp: and in the morning the dew lay round about the host. And when the dow that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a Small round thing, as small as the hoar-frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna : for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.
