God has called Moses to Save the Israelites

Exodus 1:16-2:10

The Pharaoh once told the midwives to kill Israelite babies if  they were boys but not if they were girls but the midwives wouldn’t do it because they respected god and so they let the boys live and the pharaoh got mad and said "Why have you let the boys live?" The midwives answered "We can't make it to the Women in time, they give birth before we get there.

So God was easy on the midwives and the Israelite people had more children and multiplied and God gave the midwives a family and children. Then Pharaoh got angry and told all the Egyptians to throw every Hebrew boy in the Nile but keep the girls. One woman had a son but had to hide him for a long time (3 months). When she wasn't able to hide him anymore she got a basket and put him in and put the basket in the Nile. His sister was there to see what would happen to him.

Once the pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, she saw the basket and sent her slave to get it. She opened the basket and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. Then his sister asked the pharaoh's daughter "Should I find a woman to nurse the baby for you?" "Yes," she answered. So she found his mother. The pharaoh's daughter said, "Nurse this baby for me and you will be paid." So she took him and nursed him. When he got older the nurse took him to The Paraoh’s Daughter and he became her son, and his name became Moses.

Exodus 3:1-15

Moses was a shepherd out in the fields and one day he saw a bush on fire but it wasn't burning so he went to check it out. When he got near he heard a voice, it was God. God said "My people in Egypt cry out to me and I will no longer let them suffer. So you shall go to Egypt and bring them out to a land that I have promised to you and all the Israelites." Then Moses said "God, why me why shall I do it."

"Because I will be with you and you shall tell the Israelites that I have sent you. When you bring them out you shall worship me on this mountain," God answered. "What if they ask the name of the god who has sent me what should I say," asked Moses. "You shall tell them that it is I Am who sent you" answered God. God also said these words to Moses "Say to the Israelites, The Lord the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob as sent me to you."

Exodus 5-10

Abraham when to Pharaoh and said "This is what the Lord has said; let my people go" but Pharaoh just laughed and said take them away. The next day Moses and Aaron approached Pharaoh at a river and told him to let God's people go but he didn't listen so Aaron put his staff in the water and the river turned to blood but then again Pharaoh still turned them away.

The next day Moses and Aaron approached the Pharaoh in his palace and told him to let God's people go but Pharaoh still said no. So God told Aaron to reach out his hands over the lakes ponds and streams of Egypt and make frogs and toads come from them so that's what he did and there were frogs and toads everywhere after that Pharaoh said he would let them go the day after so Moses went out and prayed that the frogs and toads would be gone and so god took all of the frogs and killed them. When Pharaoh saw the relief he changed his mind and didn't let them go. Next Page ➡︎

So God told Aaron to strike the ground and a plague of gnats will come and when he did it look like all you could see was dust and gnats but Pharaoh didn't care he had a hard heart. Then early in the next morning, Moses went to Pharaoh as he was going to the river and said to him "This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so that they may worship me. If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.-
