Leviticus 4:27 And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; 28 Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, […]

Leviticus 3:8 And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar. When they offered their offering to the Lord they were to lay their hands on the offering before killing […]

Leviticus 2:10 And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire. Aaron and his sons would eat of the left overs of the meat offering. The offering served two purposes. It honored and worshiped […]

Exodus 39:30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. All the things that have been made for the tabernacle are for the same purpose. They are for the Lord. Holiness to the Lord […]

Exodus 38:22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. He made all that the Lord commanded Moses. Interesting God told Moses what Bezaleel was supposed to do. Bezaleel just did what he was told. All that is going on in […]

Exodus 37:9 And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims. The cherubim are over the mercy seat. They face each other and look at the mercy seat. It […]

Exodus 29:42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there unto thee. Thank God that He has provided a place of sacrifice. He taught us to offer sacrifices to us as He forgave […]

Exodus 27:20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. The Lord wanted the light to shine throughout the night. This was pure olive oil, specially prepared. This is the light to the nations. The priests kept […]

Exodus 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: Thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. It was God in His mercy that got His people out of slavery. It was God who redeemed them. It was God who guided them. It was God whose […]

Exodus 10:16 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste; and he said, I have sinned against the LORD your God, and against you. When things got bad enough Pharaoh repented. His own men wanted him to repent.They could see that the country was going to be destroyed. They didn’t really want to love […]

Exodus 9:7 And Pharaoh sent, and, behold, there was not one of the cattle of the Israelites dead. And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go. God was showing His power by judging Egypt. When the cattle of Pharaoh die and none of the cattle of the Israelites […]

Exodus 8:15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said. Pharaoh softens when things get bad enough. He seems to begin to give in and decide to obey God. As soon as the problem is gone so is his decision to […]

Exodus 7:3 And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt. Pharaoh’s heart will be hardened. It has already been hardened on his own. He will not recognize God. He doesn’t believe in Him. Now God is going to harden His heart to show His power […]

Exodus 6:6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: 7 And I will take you […]

Exodus 5:2 And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go. Pharaoh says that he doesn’t know God. He doesn’t believe in God. He has no reason to obey God. So the real story is that […]

Exodus 4:23 And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. God told Moses before he ever got there what was going to happen. Only God can do that. Only God knows what […]

Exodus 3:19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand. Before we know anything about what is going to happen we see that God tells Moses that He is sure, He knows that the king of Egypt will not let them go. Our […]

Exodus 2:25 And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them. God had raised up Moses. Moses had tried in his own power and under his own initiative to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. He has now been hiding in a far country keeping sheep for about […]

Exodus 1:21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses. God blessed the midwives because they feared Him more than they feared an earthly king. They were commanded by Pharaoh to kill the babies. They knew that was not God’s will. They chose to obey God. God blessed […]

Genesis 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. When God allows things to happen in our lives it is so easy to get bitter. We are angry at our brothers that didn’t […]

Genesis 49:33 And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost, and was gathered unto his people. Jacob calls his sons in. He tells each of them something. Some is about their failure but all something about their future. He […]

Genesis 48:21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers. Jacob knew that God would keep His Word. He tells Joseph that God will be with him and take the people back to the promised land. It will be […]

Genesis 47:30 But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt, and bury me in their buryingplace. And he said, I will do as thou hast said. Jacob want to go home when he dies. He wants to be buried where his family was buried. God had promised his […]

Genesis 46:30 And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive. I know it is just a saying but I think it expressed how Jacob had come to feel about life. He lived for his children, especially Joseph and Benjamin. His life was wrapped […]

Genesis 45:28 And Israel said, It is enough; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die. Israel, Jacob, finds out that Joseph is alive. Since he discovered that Joseph may have died by wild beasts he has been a walking dead man. It seemed that his heart went […]

Genesis 44:30 Now therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad be not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad’s life; Joseph has been tormenting his brothers. Now Benjamin’s life is in danger. The cup was found in his sack. He will become Joseph’s servant forever. […]

Genesis 43:4 If thou wilt send our brother with us, we will go down and buy thee food: They had lost Joseph their brother. Their dad had never gotten over grieving him. Now they were ready to go back to Egypt to get more food. Should their dad trust them. Should he let them take […]

Genesis 42:9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come. Our dreams often come true years later. We weren’t even thinking of them recently. Life has gotten too busy. Discouragement has set in. For 13 years […]

Genesis 41:9 Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, saying, I do remember my faults this day: The butler had asked Joseph to interpret his dream 2 years before this. He had promised to tell someone about Joseph’s plight. He was so self absorbed that when he got what he wanted he forgot Joseph. I […]

Genesis 40:8 And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you. As I read this verse I thought of how Joseph had such a close relationship with God. He was […]

Genesis 39:5 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. Joseph […]
