 Exodus Chapter 20 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: In last week's lesson, we studied about how God made a covenant with the Jews. In this covenant, if they would obey the commandments of God, Israel would be His peculiar treasure. We study this week about the laws given to the children of Israel. The laws which God gave unto Israel may be divided into three classes (1) The moral law is to be found in the ten commandments. (2) The ceremonial law is found in the instructions of God concerning the sacrifices and related items. (3) The civil law had to do with the various regulations concerning their government. I. Ten Commandments Given Exo 20:1 And God spake all these words, saying, Exo 20:2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exo 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. The first two verses might be called the preamble to the ten commandments. Here God relates how He brought them out of the bondage in the land of Egypt. Note the first four commandments show the relationship God established between God and man, while the last six are about our relationship man to man. All of these commandments make man responsible to God. The first commandment established that no other gods are allowed. God is jealous a jealous God and will not share His glory with another.

 Exodus Chapter 17 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Memory verses for this week: Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. Job 14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. Introduction: We continue our study on Exodus this week. In last week's lesson, we studied about how God fed the Israelites with the manna from heaven. Even though being fed daily, the people murmured and God provided meat by giving them quails for meat. I. The Smitten Rock Exo 17:1 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. Exo 17:2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? This chapter begins with “AND,” which is a conjunction. Thus we know that the events in this chapter are connected with that which goes before. “Exodus 16 and 17 go together just as John Chapters 6 and 7 go together. In Exodus 16 we find the Manna and in John 6 the bread of life. In Exodus 17 the water comes out of the rock which is a type of the Holy Spirit. In John Chapter 7 the Lord Jesus announces the coming gift of the Holy Spirit. In verse 1 it says that they found no water in Rephidim. The Jews had journeyed according to the command of the Lord but the place to which they came had no water. Asin previous times, they blamed the hardship on Moses. If they had only realized that God had led them there for a purpose, they might have come to grips with the reality that wherever God guides, He provides. Continue reading in PDF:
 Exodus Chapter 11 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Memory verses for this week: Dan 10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. Introduction: We continue our study on Exodus this week. In last week's lesson, we studied about the eighth and ninth plagues which were the locusts and darkness all through the land of Egypt. I failed to note it last week, but the bible was clear in Chapter 10 that there was no darkness in the Hebrew camp. The proud Pharaoh is about to learn that God is able to humble him, and cause him to let Israel go. God is able to fulfill His purpose. Prov. 19:21, There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. Isa. 14:27, For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? I. The Tenth Plague is Announced Exo 11:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. Exo 11:2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. Exo 11:3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people. God brought another message to Moses and the people. One more plague was to come, and after this one, Pharaoh would let them go. The Hebrews were instructed to borrow wealth from the Egyptians. Remember that they had been slaves and deserved compensation and it was God who commanded them to do this. Egypt had been blessed by the presence of the Jews. The Hebrew word for “borrow” means, to inquire, request, to demand, ask, beg or borrow. God promised Abraham that they would leave Egypt with great substance. Gen. 15:14, And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. I think it is very clear that this was not going in to debt to take these items, but these were items God was giving to the Jews. Moses and the people were favored by the Egyptians. This fulfills the verses in Ex. 3:21 and Gen. 15:14 which we just read. Exo 3:21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty: Exo 11:4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: Exo 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. Exo 11:6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. We take it that these verses are a continuation of 10:29, before Moses literally left the presence of Pharaoh. Moses is given the time of night when God’s judgment would come, but the exact day is not announced. Verse 5 explains that the firstborn would die. This included even the firstborn of the exalted, including Pharaoh. Firstborn sons were considered sacred, and heirs to the family wealth and headship. Israel was God’s firstborn son. Jer. 31:9,...for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Jesus Christ was God’s firstborn son, the only Begotten Son of God, and he had to die that we might live. II Cor. 5:21, For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. All would die, even the firstborn of the humble and those in between. This was not limited to just the humans, but the firstborn of the beasts was also to die. It would be so bad that there would be a great cry out of the land of Egypt. We need to realize that God was righteous in doing this. He had dealt again and again with Pharaoh, but each time he had changed his mind after the plagues were stayed and would not let the people leave. Gal. 6:7, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Psa. 89:14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. Gen. 18:25,...Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? Eccl. 8:11, Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Exo 11:7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. Exo 11:8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. Verse 7 says that God set a difference between Israel and Egypt. This is true today between the lost and the saved. The rain may fall on both, but only the saved have the promises of safety through the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom. 11:22, Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Rom. 9:22 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction. I Cor. 4:7, For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? The firstborn like the firstfruits were representative of the rest. Even the dogs, whose nature is to bark, were controlled by God. The Egyptians would recognize who God was, and this would work to the benefit of the spiritual condition of Israel. Pharaoh’s servants would bow down themselves to God. Lev. 17:7, And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring.... Josh. 24:14, Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD. Ezek. 20:6-8, In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land that I had espied for them, flowing with milk and honey, which is the glory of all lands: Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the idols of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. These indicate that Israel as well as the Egyptians were wicked, and indicates the need for a sacrifice, and thus the Passover lamb. Exo 11:9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. Exo 11:10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land. Verse 9 says that the stubborn hard-hearted King. would not hearken so that God’s wonders would be multiplied. As before, Pharaoh’s heart would be hardened so that the children of Israel would not be allowed to go out of the land. Kings may think they have power, but God can turn their hearts however He so chooses. Pro 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. Pro 19:21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. Pro 21:1 The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will. Isa 14:27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? and his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back? Dan. 4:37, Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.

 Exodus Chapter 8 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: We continue our study on Exodus this week. In last week's lesson, we studied about how Moses used the rod to perform miracles before Pharaoh. He first cast down the rod and it became a serpent, then later he used the rod to cast it over the rivers of Egypt and all of them turned into blood. I. The Second Plague of Frogs Exo 8:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. Exo 8:2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: Exo 8:3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: Exo 8:4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. Again Moses goes before Pharaoh and demands the people be let go from the land and their bondage. If they were not released to serve the Lord, he warns in verse 2 that there would be a plague of frogs. Frogs were sacred to the Egyptians. One of their deities was “Heka” or “Heqet,” was a frog-headed goddess. She was the goddess of resurrection, fertility, and childbirth. They could not kill these sacred frogs, for this was not allowed under their religious system. They are warned that the frogs would come out of the Nile, which would be another blow at their religion, since they worshiped it. Frogs are symbols of uncleanness and of evil.
 Exodus Chapter 6 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: We continue our study on Exodus this week. In last week's lesson, we studied about Moses' first encounter with Pharaoh as he made his request to let the people go. As predicted, Pharaoh was hard and refused which will be a recurring theme in the next few weeks of our studies. After making the request, the king makes the burdens even harder, and the people begin to put the blame on Moses and Aaron. Israel’s harsh words to Moses caused him to pray unto the Lord. While he went to the right place, yet his words were wrong. Even so, God answered him in love and mercy. God had promised that Israel would be delivered (Exodus 3:19-20) and God always keeps His promises. God speaks to us by the written word of God. Since it was not yet written, God spoke to Moses in an audible voice. (Exodus 33:11; Deuteronomy 34:10) I. God's Answer to a Disappointed Moses Exo 6:1 Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. Man may fail us, but God will always keep His covenant with His people. Pharaoh will not only let them go, but he will drive them out. In verse 3, God reveals His covenant name. God reveals Himself as Jehovah. Remember when “LORD” is spelled with caps, it is Jehovah indicating the 3 part God Head of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Earlier, He had made Himself known to Abraham as God Almighty. He says in verse 3 “By my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.” This is admittedly a hard passage of Scripture, but it does yield to careful study. God was known by Jehovah (LORD), to Abraham.

 EXODUS Lesson 01 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: We begin our new study on the book of Exodus this week. We initially were going into Ezekiel, but Brother Taylor wanted a bit more time on studying the chapter about the dry bones living again as to the true meaning of those verses. So we will try and come back to that soon. These lessons are based on the outlines of E.L. Bynum of Tabernacle Baptist Church in Lubbock TX. We are using their outline with their consent. I. INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS A. The Author is the same for all books of the bible. It is the Holy Spirit. Man many times wants to bring the bible down to a book like any other. The bible is unlike any other book, and it is powerful and able to divide soul and spirit and discern the very thoughts and intents of the heart. Heb 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 2 Peter 1:21 “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” As in the case of all books, God used some man to pen the words. Exodus was penned by Moses the human writer. Continue Reading in PDF
 Romans Chapter 1 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net e-mail: [email protected] Introduction: We begin a new study on the book of Romans this week. This book was authored by Paul and written to the people there in Rome. We see in Chapter one the doctrine of which the apostle Paul wrote, set forth the fulfillment of the promises by the prophets. It spoke of the Son of God, even Jesus the Saviour, the promised Messiah, who came from David as to his human nature but was also declared to be the Son of God, by the Divine power which raised him from the dead I. The Salutation Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; Paul speaks of himself as being a servant of Jesus Christ. There truly is no greater opportunity that we can have on this earth than to bring our lives under subjection and be a servant to the Lord Jesus Christ. Paul learned this early after his conversion on the road to Damascus, and lived his life dedicated to God. Before Paul was saved, he was a servant to sin and slave to Satan. Now Paul was a servant of Christ because he belonged to God. Continue Reading in PDF
 Genesis Chapter 47 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: [email protected] Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Memory verses for this week: 1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as Jacob and his family move into their new home in the land of Goshen in Egypt. We begin this week's lesson as Jacob and his sons come before Pharaoh. I. Jacob and His Sons before Pharaoh Gen 47:1 Then Joseph came and told Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brethren, and their flocks, and their herds, and all that they have, are come out of the land of Canaan; and, behold, they are in the land of Goshen. Gen 47:2 And he took some of his brethren, even five men, and presented them unto Pharaoh. Joseph first comes and tells Pharaoh that his family have arrived from the land of Canaan and they now are in the land of Goshen. He first announces their arrival and then took five of his brethren in before Pharaoh.They are asked what their occupation is, and they tell him they are shepherds. Honesty is normally the best policy, although this was not the advice Joseph gave them in the end of chapter 46. Continue Reading in PDF:
 Genesis Chapter 44 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: [email protected] Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as we pickup after the meal Joseph prepared for his brothers on their return trip to Egypt when they brought young Benjamin along with them. I. A Plan to Apprehend the Departing Brethren Gen 44:1 And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth. Gen 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. Gen 44:3 As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. Joseph commands the steward of the house to fill the sacks and to put their money back in the sacks. So the brothers' sacks are filled to the limit. This reminds us of our Lord's generosity in giving unto us who are so undeserving. Also, not only are the bags filled to capacity, but each man's money was placed in their sacks. Remember that the bread of life, God's salvation, cannot be bought with money. One brother was to have something special placed in his bag. It was Joseph's silver cup which was placed in Benjamin's sack. Silver typifies the price of redemption. Continue reading in PDF:
 Genesis Chapter 40 Distributed by: KJV Bible Studies Email: [email protected] Website: www.KjvBibleStudies.net Introduction: We continue our study on the book of Genesis this week as Joseph is placed in prison and by the gift of God is able to interpret dreams. I. Joseph and Pharaoh's Officers Gen 40:1 And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt. Gen 40:2 And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers. Gen 40:3 And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound. Gen 40:4 And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward. Serving in the royal palace is sometimes more difficult than one might think, and both the chief butler and the chief baker find themselves placed in prison. Somehow they had offended the king. "Offended" is the Hebrew verb "chata" and literally means they "sinned." It is not clear from the account given, but perhaps they had been disloyal to the King. It certainly was not a coincident that they found themselves there. It was clearly providential that they were placed in the same ward with Joseph. Remember there are no accidents with God and that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. Continue Reading in PDF
