I am pleased with you and I know you by name

 Exodus 31-33

Then the Lord said to Moses, “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord.”

But Moses sought the favor of the Lord his God. “Lord,” he said, “why should your anger burn against your people, whom you brought out of Egypt with great power and a mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, ‘It was with evil intent that he brought them out, to kill them in the mountains and to wipe them off the face of the earth’? Turn from your fierce anger; relent and do not bring disaster on your people. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever.’” Then the Lord relented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened.

So he stood at the entrance to the camp and said, “Whoever is for the Lord, come to me.” And all the Levites rallied to him.

The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died. Then Moses said, “You have been set apart to the Lord today, for you were against your own sons and brothers, and he has blessed you this day.”

 And the Lord struck the people with a plague because of what they did with the calf Aaron had made.

 The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

 And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.”

But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”

Why?

Moses was among the Lord and the Israelites, so he asked the Lord to let him see the glory of the Lord, but no one can see the Lord and live, so the Lord let Moses see the back of the Lord, and Moses face could not see the Lord. The Lord showed himself to Moses and let Moses see the real glory of God.

Because the Lord was pleased with Moses, and the Lord knew Moses by name.

How?

The Lord knows me by my name, either, no matter what I was, what I is and what I will be>

The tabernacle, and courtyard and priest clothes and the clear oil of pressed lives for the light

 Exodus 27-28

“Build an altar of acacia wood, three cubits high; it is to be square, five cubits long and five cubits wide. Make a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar are of one piece, and overlay the altar with bronze. Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the network.

Make a courtyard for the tabernacle. The south side shall be a hundred cubits long and is to have curtains of finely twisted linen, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. The north side shall also be a hundred cubits long and is to have curtains, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

The west end of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide and have curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. On the east end, toward the sunrise, the courtyard shall also be fifty cubits wide. Curtains fifteen cubits long are to be on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases,

“For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain twenty cubits long, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer—with four posts and four bases. All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands and hooks, and bronze bases.  The courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains of finely twisted linen five cubits high, and with bronze bases.

“Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning.

Have Aaron your brother, brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests. Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor. Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

Why?
Every article that serves for the Lord must be clean and holy, and keep the place and utensils holy for the Lord.

Even the spaces around the Tabernacle are defined by the Lord.

How?

When we serve the Lord, even the services on Sunday morning in the Church, we should keep ourselves holy, and our clothing, our heart, and mind be Holy to serve the Lord.

You must give me the firstborn of your sons

 Exodus 21-22

If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything.

“But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

The laws about Personal Injuries :

The laws about the Protection of Property:

The laws about Social Responsibility:

“You must give me the firstborn of your sons. Do the same with your cattle and your sheep. Let them stay with their mothers for seven days, but give them to me on the eighth day.

Why?

All of these laws honor the Holy Name of the Lord, and the animal or man for the firstborn belongs to the Lord.

The Laws keep the fair, love, and righteousness among people in society in Israel, the nation of the Lord.

How?

So we should keep our life with faith in the Lord, hope in the Lord, and love among people, and honor the Holy name of the Lord.

We are the sons of the Lord, so we should keep our treasured possession in our daily life

 Exodus 19-20

‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself. Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.”

The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord.

After Moses had gone down the mountain to the people, he consecrated them, and they washed their clothes.Then he said to the people, “Prepare yourselves for the third day. Abstain from sexual relations.”

Moses said to the Lord, “The people cannot come up Mount Sinai, because you yourself warned us, ‘Put limits around the mountain and set it apart as holy.’”

The Ten Commandments:

Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.”

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.

Why?

The Lord said the Ten Commandments for Israelite is God's treasured possession, they will be the kingdom of priests and a holy nation for the Lord.

How?

Be aware we, Christians, are the sons of the Lord keep our treasure possession in our daily life.

During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested

Exodus 12-13

The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.

On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn of both people and animals, and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord.

At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well. Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.

During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”

The Lord said to Moses, “Consecrate to me every firstborn male. The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.”

All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the Lord. Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem every firstborn among your sons.

Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.”

Why?

Finally, Israelite end their journey in Egypt, and the Lord performed great things that let them know the Lord is greater than their gods.

For the Lord killed the firstborn in Egypt, so the Lord asked Israelite know that the firstborn of every womb among the Israelites belonged to the Lord.

How?

The Lord let the Israelites get out of Egypt through Moses. So, we need to walk in the way the Lord leads us.

Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you

 Exodus 9-11

The Plague on Livestock, The Plague of Boils, The Plague of Hail, The Plague of Locusts, The Plague of Darkness, The Plague on the Firstborn.

The Lord had said to Moses, “Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you—so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt.” Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.

Ten plagues happened in the whole land of Egypt, except the area of Israelites lived.

Why?

When the Lord hardens people's hearts, they suffer the disasters, and their hearts are refue the Lord.

This is the way show the great power over Egypt.

People always use their own ideas to explain the work of the Lord and compromised all unusual events.

How?

May my heart and my mind keep obeying the way of the Lord, and I know my Lord has the best way for me.

The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt

 Exodus 7-8

 You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonders in Egypt, he will not listen to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment I will bring out my divisions, my people the Israelites. And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”

Moses was eighty years old and Aaron eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Each one threw down his staff and it became a snake. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs. Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said.

With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood. The fish in the Nile will die, and the river will stink; the Egyptians will not be able to drink its water.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your hand with your staff over the streams and canals and ponds, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

All the dust throughout the land of Egypt became gnats. 

The Plague of Flies.

The houses of the Egyptians will be full of flies; even the ground will be covered with them.

Why?

The Lord gave Egypt nine nature disasters, but they were still harden their heart, until the tenth diaster happened.

How?

The word of the Lord are always come around us, do I sense it and make my soul awake to listen the word of the Lord?
