Amen. So well folks, as we la as we last left our saga, the Hebrews were being enslaved by the Egyptians, and the Hebrew and the Hebrew women were popping out babies left and right. This didn't make uh Pharaoh very happy. So Pharaoh and the king will be the same person. So if I say Pharaoh, you know we're talking about the king of Egypt. This didn't make him very happy because the Hebrews were outnumbered, outnumbered the Egyptians and were stronger than them. He also was he also feared that they uh may join their enemies and fight against them and escape from their country. So that's why he enslaved them like that. Now, Pharaoh at this time, since they were popping, since the Egyptians were outnumbering them, he was actually giving them um, he was actually giving them since they were out, since he was they were outnumbering them, he was he was feared. So he gave he gave an order to kill all the baby boy, uh, all the boys um born to the Hebrew women, and they wanted to keep the girls, I guess you know, so the boys couldn't pro procreate. So the uh the midwives actually, he gave them to the midwives, he gave these orders to the midwives, and the midwives actually were they feared God more than the uh more than the king. So they actually let the boys live. And because of because the Israel's like kept pop kept multiplying quickly, Pharaoh had actually ordered the um had ordered to have the every newborn every newborn boy thrown into the Nile River. Now, one such boy that didn't get thrown into the Nile or getn't get drowned or anything like that was was the one was one of the of a Levite couple. Now, this Levite couple they must have actually received some revelation that it must have some relation revelation that he was a child of destiny because he was because he was spared, and faith actually, and they had faith, and faith must be based on some revealed word of God. Now, since he was from the tribe of Levi, which was actually a very significant tribe in the Israelite nation, they were actually uh set apart by God, they played a significant part in the building and the worship of the tabernacle, and they were also like the they were the priests of the nation of Israel. So this baby was very, very special. Now, this baby was actually placed in a basket by his sister, and he floated down the Nile River. Now, at this time, Pharaoh's daughter was bathing in the uh in the river and discovered that and discovered this basket that was uh floating down the river. So she noticed it, and she noticed that it was a Hebrew baby. And Miriam, who was the his sist this this baby's sister's name, was uh she was actually spying and looking at all the action that was taking place. And then when she noticed that the Pharaoh's daughter had actually saw the baby and noticed it, and you know, she wanted it for herself and wanted it as her own. So she actually um asked if she wanted if she asked the the princess if she wanted her to if she wanted her to take him to his mother to nurse him. So she agreed to do that. So the baby actually got to be nursed by his mother instead of actually um instead of and got to be nursed by his mother until he was older, and then instead of actually being killed. Now, Pharaoh's daughter actually they the baby was returned to Pharaoh's daughter as he was as he got an a little bit older, and he was that and she actually adopted him and named him Moses. Now, since and the reason why his name is Moses, Moses was he she named the name Moses because he was at she was actually had drawn him from the water, and so you know that he literally became uh the prince of Egypt. So think about the Disney movie at that particular time. I mean, that that was actually made. And so, as we will see, that is actually that was that is primarily what the first part of this um chapter of Exodus 2 is about, was about the being the birth of Moses, and then they didn't really talk about much about how Moses had grown up and what he was growing up, he was, but he was in the household of the Pharaoh, as well as you know, then it skipped down to as he got older and how he killed a uh he killed an Egyptian. He killed he called, he killed, he killed him, he killed a man, and then he actually had fled to the desert. And then it actually showed him, and then it continued on where he in in the desert where he had to actually, I'm sure he had to learn on the in the back side of the desert, he had to learn things, things of God that God was showing him what he had to do since he was a chosen, he was the chosen one, he was a chosen one of God. And so, and then it goes and then he continues on, and then he shows how he met his how he met his wife, and how he met his wife and had a child. But as we will see, as Exodus actually, Exodus tells us that God chose Moses to lead his people out of Egypt through the desert. Now, Exodus, as we know, Exodus means a large number of people living, leaving a place. So, and he actually shows actually Exodus actually shows how God gave his law to Moses for the Israelites, and also tells us how the Israelites built the tabernacle and how they worshiped there. So, as our the saga continues, we will learn more and more about the life and times of Moses, and with that, y'all, it's kind of short, but we can break out into our breakout rooms.
