2. Hi* Preservation (w. 8-8). Hi*
faith of hi* parent* caused them to ig
nore the command of the king and
they hid him for three month* (He
brew* 11:28). His mother discerned in
him a proper child, or a child fair to
God (Acts 7:20), and believed him Co
' be the deliverer of his people. Perhaps
led by the story of Noah's art, she
made him an ark of bulrushes and
placed Ifosee In it and left It at the
place where Pharaoh's daughter would
be attracted when she came doam to
bathe. Miriam, his sister, was placed
where she could watch the affair, and

interest In his people, having seen their
affliction, hoard their ay, and known
their sorrows, and that he had come
down to deUvur them from the hand
of the Egyptian through Mooes as His
agent , ?- .
lit Mease* Contest with Pharaoh
(Exodus 8-12). The tan plagues reveal
the contest carried on between Mom
and Pharaoh before the people were

strong hand of the Almighty made
Pharaoh willing to 1*? Israel go.
IV. Israel Crossing the Red Pes (Ex

(2) God*a words to Uom (w. 16-18).
(a) "Go forward." No use to pray
longer whoa Qod says "Hot# forward."
(b) "Lift up thy rod." This served as
something tangible upon which their
faith could rest They were to so
through the aaa on dry ground. Bat
the symbol of Qod'a presence now
passed to the roar to hold the enemy
at bay. (8) The divided sea (rr. XI
22). As they went forward the very
thing which they feared became a wall
of protection on either side.
8. Overthrow of the Egyptians (w.
22-27). Having seen the Israelites go
across dry shod the Egyptians Immedi
ately pursued them. Insanely thinking
that they could follow In the wake of
God's children. That which was a pro
tection to God's children became an in
strument of destruction to the Egyp
tians'
4. Israel's Bong of Triumph (16 ti
ll). They attributed their deliverance
and the overwhelming defeat of their
enemies to God. They could well sing
their song of triumph, for they were
on the other shore.

God gave through Hoses to toe world a
complete code of laws setting forth
duties to God and man.
