Biblical Story Of Gerizim Vs. Abel

Moses is an effective Prophet due to his faithfulness to God; his unification of the Hebrews; and dedication to his mission. Like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Moses sees the harsh persecution of his people in Egypt. Fleeing for his life after killing an Egyptian, Moses is living a quiet life, married, tending to his children and his father-in-law’s flocks. However, when God interrupts Moses’s life and calls upon him to deliver the Israelites from purgatory, Moses answers God’s call. Despite his fears,

I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.” Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’” God also said 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—has sent me to you.’ “This is my name forever, the name you shall call me from generation to generation. “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to

Years have past Moses is an adult now and he looks into his roots and realizes that he is a Hebrew. And one day he sees an elderly Israelite being mercilessly beaten by an Egyptian and he intervinds and accidently kills the Egyptian man. So Moses runs a away to the Midian, a small town where he meets a priest named Jethro. Meets a woman who turns out to be Jethro’s daughter. He now starts his new life as shepherd and he during his daily duties and he notices something on Mount Horeb. There is a bush on fire, but it was not burning at all. So Moses went over to the burning bush to investigate “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.” So God discuss his plan with Moses to bring the Israelites to Canaan “to a land flowing with milk and honey” and send Moses back towards Egypt to

As the Israelites left Egypt and began to head towards a promised land, they endured many tests and only began to grow into adulthood much later. The original set of people who travelled under control of Moses and Aaron never made it to their destination, as God became angry with Moses when he struck the rock twice in front of his people, and therefore prevented them from entering a promised land (Numbers 20.11-12). These Israelites did not have complete faith in their God, and therefore continued to anger Him throughout their journey. Since they have a negative perspective on the world around them and their situation, the first group of Israelites can be represented by ten of the twelve spies who actually enter Canaan. These ten spies advise

The Israelites reach the borders of the Promised Land and Moses reviews the people’s history in the wilderness and pleads with them to be faithful to the law and to be obedient after they posses the land. Moses is old by this time and he stresses the covenant made between God and Israel through Abraham, Moses and the people reaffirm the covenant and reminding them of the blessings that will come if the people are obedient. The Lord will not allow Moses to cross the river Jordan with them and Joshua becomes his Successor.

Of Mary, Aaron and Moses, roots leaders in Israel, God raised up a frail shoot, but intended to be the one who led God's people into the Promised Land. Joshua rose at the shadow of Moses, and was formed by him to the consecration to the service of the Lord. With God's permission, Joshua had the privilege to live in the tent, which functioned as,, tent of meeting "to making the great and glorious Tabernacle (Exodus, 33: 7-11). Joshua was noted to be a good leader at the Battle of Rephidim, when he headed the hosts in the valley, while Moses, Aaron and Hur supported him by praying (Exodus, 17: 8-16). Also as a Minister of Moses, Joshua accompanying him on the Mount of Sinai and waiting some distance until it receives the Tablets of the

Content- Moses is watching over his father-in-law's flock of sheep, and he wanders with them to Horeb, the mountain of God. An angel of God appears to him in the form of a bush that appears on fire but doesn't burn. God speaks to Moses and tells him that he's going to deliver the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. He has picked Moses has to lead them.

Throughout the journey of Moses, God always led him down the path God had planned for him and his people. Unlike some of the people in the stories of Exodus and Deuteronomy who did not listen to God, Moses listened and allowed God to mold him into the leader of the Hebrew people. Moses should not be recalled as a leader of the Hebrew people because he was a teachable student of God, he listened to both God and the Israelites, and he ensured God’s people were obedient to God.

The Israelites rejoiced in their deliverance and continued their journey in the Sinai Desert and reached the mountain of God. Here God gave the people the 10 Commandments. Moses went up the mountain of God for forty days and forty nights. During this time, the Israelites rebelled against God and built for themselves a golden calf and worshiped it. God in his holiness, had the Levites slaughter around 3,000 Israelites.

“And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.” (Exodus 19:17-20, Macarthur, 1997) In the Sinai wilderness, there lies a holy, sacred mountain, Mount Sinai (Jebel Musa), “the mountain of Moses.” This sacred mountain, once made the Israelites tremble

• In chapters 1-4, Joshua and the Israelites enter the promise land and in doing so we read of an amazing entry. As they arrive at the Jordan River, we find details of an incredible, miraculous crossing. God shows His incredible grace

Jacob was aware his life was coming to an end. Thankfully, the last seventeen years were spent with his twelve sons and their families all together again, settled in the land of Egypt, in the region of Goshen (Gen 47:27-28). He calls for his sons to come receive their blessings, and he predicts the future for the twelve tribes that will be established through them. These prophecies give way to the imminent manifestations throughout history of the twelve tribes of Israel.

The following is not a biblical story, but one I find applicable in my walk with God and community with humanity. It is the story about the kid walking the beach and throwing starfish back into the ocean. Someone asked why are you doing this when there are so many more than you can help? The response is that helping that one was important for that one. The following Psalms are supportive of the idea that I have a responsibility to share God to those around me. I can use Psalms to show the progression from creation to attitude and hope while also sharing the story of Christ. Most important to me is the ability to share through my actions that lead to conversations. These three Psalms give me a base to work from as I mature into the adult I hope to become.

Give Joshua his instructions, and imbue him with strength and courage, for he shall go across at the head of this people, and he shall allot to them the land that you may only see (Deuteronomy 3:28).

The Lord said to Moses, “Go up this mountain of the Abram range, and see the land that I have given to the Israelites. 13 When you have seen it, you also shall be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron was, 14 because you rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin when the congregation quarreled with me. You did not show my holiness before their eyes at the waters.” (These are the waters of Meribath-kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 Moses spoke to the Lord, saying, 16 “Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, appoint someone over the congregation 17 who shall go out before them and come in before them, who shall lead them out and bring them in, so that the congregation of the Lord may not be like sheep without a shepherd.” 18 So the Lord said to Moses, “Take Joshua son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay your hand upon him; 19 have him stand before Eleazar the priest and all the congregation, and commission him in their sight. 20 You
