Israel's Miraculous Conquest

From Egypt to Ahab and Jezebel: Some Old Testament Stories

Israel Wants to Be Delivered from the Slavery of Egypt

I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians I will free you from being slaves to them and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment. I will make you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. And I will bring you to a land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord. (Exod. 6:6–8)

Moses and Aaron were instructed to ask Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I (the Lord) will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though I multiply my miraculous 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, and Aaron was eighty-three when they spoke to Pharaoh.

Miracles That Freed the Israelites from Egypt

Each of the plagues will bring judgment to the Egyptians and the gods they worship.

When Pharaoh asked for a miracle, Aaron threw his staff down in front of Pharaoh and his officials and it became a snake. The magicians did the same thing and Aaron's staff swallowed up their staffs.

Aaron raised his staff in the presence of Pharaoh and his officials and struck the Nile and it turned to blood. The magicians did the same thing.

Aaron stretched out his hand over the streams, canals and ponds and made frogs come up on the land and in the houses. The magicians did the same thing.

Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff and struck the dust of the ground, gnats came upon men and animals. The magicians could not produce gnats.

The Lord sent swarms of flies so that the land was ruined by flies. After Moses prayed the flies left.

The Lord brought a plague on livestock of the Egyptians, they all died.

Handfuls of soot tossed into the air by Moses caused festering boils to break out on men and animals throughout the land.

Moses stretched out his staff toward the sky, and the Lord sent thunder, hail and lightening. The hail stripped the vegetation and beat down everything growing.

Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt and the Lord made the East wind blow across the land all that day and night. By morning the wind brought locusts. They covered the ground and devoured all that was left after the hail. Nothing green remained. Pharaoh confessed his sin and asked for forgiveness.

Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, as the Lord instructed, and total darkness covered all Egypt for 3 days.

One more plague was brought on Egypt. Every firstborn son died and all of the firstborn cattle died. The Israelites performed a Passover ceremony and were protected.

The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and to leave the country. The Lord made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave the Israelites what they asked for.

There were about 600,000 men besides women and children. Many other people went with them, as well as large droves, flocks and herds of livestock. The length of time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years.

An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the Lord's Passover must have the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land.

God led the people toward the Red Sea.

After each plague Pharaoh tried to negotiate, bargain and make promises, but in the end he would not let the people go. After the last plague, Pharaoh let the people go, but he changed his mind and sent his army after them. (Exodus 5–14)

As the Egyptians Drowned the Hebrew Babies, the Egyptians Will Now Be Drowned

Moses stretched out his handover the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it in to dry land. The Israelites went through the sea on dry ground with a wall of water on their right and their left. The Lord threw the army into confusion and made wheels come off of their chariots. Then the lord said to Moses, Stretch your hand over the sea so that the water may flow back over the Egyptians. Moses did as the Lord said and water covered the entire army. Not one of them survived.

God Guides the Israelites

By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud and by night a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire left its place in front of the people (Exod. 13:21–22).

Bitter Water Made Sweet

For 3 days they traveled in the desert without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink the water because it was bitter. That is why the place is called Marah (bitter). So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, What are we to drink?

Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. He threw it into the water, and the water became sweet. (Exod. 15:22–25)

What about Food?

In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, if only we had died by the Lord's hand in Egypt. There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death. Then the Lord said to Moses. It will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day… On the sixth day they are to prepare what they are to bring in, and that is to be twice as much as they gathered on the other days. (Exod. 16:2–5)

You will know that it was the Lord when he gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning. (Exod. 16:8)

Water

I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink (Exod. 17:6).

Free of Disease If…

If you listen carefully to the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commandments and keep his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians (Exod. 15:26)

Help, Cooperate, Encourage the Ones Who Are Fighting (Working)

The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim… So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up… (Exod. 17:10–12)

Covenant to Keep

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. (Exod. 19:5)

And God spoke all these words: "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

You shall have no other gods before me.

You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything…

You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God…

Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.

Honor your father and your mother…

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

You shall not covet…anything that belongs to your neighbor. (Exod. 20)

God's Angel to Guide, Guard, and Protect Israel

I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. (Exod. 23:20)

My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites, and I will wipe them out. (Exod. 23:23)

I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion every nation you encounter. I will make all your enemies turn their backs and run. (Exod. 23:27)

Leaders from Each Tribe Explore the Land of Canaan

The Lord said to Moses, Send some men to explore the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites. From each ancestral tribe send one of its leaders. (Num. 13:1–2)

They gave Moses this account: We went into the Land to which you sent us, and it flows with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. But the people who live there are powerful, the cities are powerful and very large. (Num. 13:27–28)

Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it. But the men who had gone up with him said, We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are. (Num. 13:30–31)

Joshua…and Caleb…said to the entire assembly, The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good. If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into the land, flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us. Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them. (Num. 14:6–9)

Not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me 10 times—not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their fathers. (Num. 14:22–23)

These men responsible for spreading the bad report about the land were struck down and died of a plague before the Lord. (Num. 14:37)

Rebellion by Korah, Dathan, and Abriam

Korah…and certain Rubenites…became insolent (overbearing, proud) and rose up against Moses. With them were 250 Israelite men, well-known community leaders who had been appointed members of the council. They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, you have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them. Why do you set yourselves above the Lord's assembly? (Num. 16:1–3)

Moses also said to Korah, Now listen, you Levites! Isn't it enough for you that the God of Israel has separated you from the rest of the Israelite community and brought you near himself, to do the work at the Lord's tabernacle and to stand before the community and minister to them? He has brought you and all your fellow Levites near himself, but now you are trying to get the priesthood too. It is against the Lord that you and all your followers have banded together…

If the Lord brings about something totally new, and if the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them and they go down alive into
