Genesis 37:1-11

There was a young boy named Joseph and what I mean by a young boy is about 17 yrs. old and he was out in the fields with the sheep and his brothers. Joseph had to tell his father about something bad his brothers were doing. Everyone in Israel loved Joseph the best than any other son so they made a robe for him. The brothers didn't like this and were mean to him because of it. Joseph had a dream one night so he told his brothers about it.  Next Page ➡︎

"I dreamt that you guys were bowing down to me,"said Joseph. Then he had another dream and this time he told his father also. "I had a dream where The Sun and the Moon and 11 stars were bowing down to me," said Joseph. Then his father said, "Do you think we will really bow down to you Joseph?" His brothers were mad but his father was quite interested.

One day Jacob, Josephs's father, learned there was grain in Egypt so he sent his sons to Egypt to go buy grain. Little did they know Joseph the new prince of Egypt was the one selling the grain. So when his brothers got there they bowed down to him and Joseph said "It's me, your brother!"

The significance is that Joseph said his brothers would bow down to him one day, but his brothers hated him for it. Look where they ended up, bowing down to Joseph just like he had said.

One day the Chief Cupbearer and a Baker offended the Pharaoh so he had them put in a dungeon but Joseph was in the same dungeon. One night the Chief cupbearer had a dream and so did the Baker and so the next day they were sad they didn't have anyone to interoperate their dreams but Joseph was there so they told him about their dreams and Joseph said that the baker's dream meant his head would be impaled on a stick in three days but the Chief cupbearer's position would be restored in three days and that the Chief cupbearer should remember Joseph and get him out of the prison one day.

So those all happened, the baker's head did get impaled and the cupbearer's position did get restored but he never remembered Joseph. 

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.-

But on that day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen, where my people live; no swarms of flies will be there so that you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land. I will make a distinction between my people and your people. This sign will occur tomorrow. and so the next day there were, as God had said, swarms of flies. Pharaoh now said they could go but not far. So Moses prayed to God and asked that the flies would leave and they did but then again Pharaoh changed his mind. Now god told Moses to go to Pharaoh and tell him this.
