1:9f����� By now the _________________________________ were much too _____________________________
1:11���� So the Egyptians made them ________________________ to keep them under control.
1:22���� They continued to grow, so Pharaoh ordered every _____________________ ____________________ be thrown into the ________________________ River to drown.� What does this remind you of (Matthew 2:16)?
����������� ________________________________________________
2:1f����� A man and woman of the tribe of _________________ had a son and hid him for ________________ months.
2:3������ So the mother put him in a _________________________ and floated it in the _________________ River, while his ________________________________ watched to see what would happen to him.
2:7f����� He was discovered by ______________________________ daughter who decided to keep him.� Who did this baby's sister get for the princess to nurse the baby?� __________ _______________________________
2:10���� What did she name this baby? _______________________
����������� See Acts 7:23.� How old was Moses when he decided to visit his fellow Israelites, now slaves?� __________

����������� 7:17���� __________________________________________
����������� 8:2������ __________________________________________
����������� 8:16���� __________________________________________
����������� 8:21���� __________________________________________
����������� 9:3������ __________________________________________

����������� 10:4��� __________________________________________
����������� 10:21�� __________________________________________
����������� 11:5���� __________________________________________
NOTE:� Each one of these plagues made a mockery of one of the gods of Egypt.
12:5,7� All the people had to do to be saved from death of their first born was to kill a lamb and put it ________________ on the __________________________ of their houses.
12:13�� On the appointed night, God said whenever he saw the ____________________, he will _____________________
_______________________________ the house and not destroy anyone.
12:27�� Hence forward, every year on that day (see 12:2f), the Israelites were to remember this night by killing the lamb, etc., and it was called the __________________________.
12:17�� The Passover was also called the Feast of _____________ bread.
12:8ff� This is because they did not have time to let the bread rise, but were to eat with their ________________ stuck in their belts, their _________________________ on their feet, and their _______________________ in their hands.� They were to eat it in _____________________________.� They were also to eat bitter herbs (parsley, etc.)� to remind them of their bitter _____________________________ (see 1:14) as slaves.
����������� Centuries later, Jesus took this same supper and turned in to what Christians call the "Lord's Supper (see Matthew 26:17).� He took this same unleavened bread and gave it a new meaning; he said it now represented his ___________ (Matthew 26:26).� He also took the wine drink that had no special significance to the Jews and gave it one; he said from now on it was his _____________________________ (Matthew 26:27-28).
����������� He also gave new significance to the lamb that was eaten at the passover.� 1 Corinthians 5:7 said Jesus is our ________________________________________________.�
����������� He also gave new significance to yeast (see 1 Corinthians 5:8).� For now yeast represented _____________________ and ________________.� Therefore, do you think it matters to God whether we use leavened or unleavened bread in the Lord's Supper that he instituted?� ____________________
12:31�� Sure enough, during the night Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and ordered them, "_______________________, my people! You and the ______________________________!"

����������� Centuries later, God said that, with the water on both sides, and the cloud above them, they were all _______________ into ____________________________________________ (1 Corinthians 10:2).
16������� According to verses 2, 7, 8, 9, 11, despite all God had done for them, the Israelites did a lot of ___________________.
16:13f� So the people would not starve, God sent them _________ every evening, and __________________ every morning.
16:15�� When the people saw the flakes on the ground, they called it "What Is It?" which in their language was "manna" (see 16:31).
16:35�� How long did the Israelites eat this manna?� ______________________� What happened at the end of this time? ________________________________________.
17:6���� Then the Israelites got thirsty, and once more grumbled against Moses and God.� So God told Moses to strike the ___________________; then ________________________ came out of it.
����������� Centuries later, God explained that this rock was who (see 1 Corinthians 10:4)?� _____________________� How had Jesus associated himself with the rock (John 4:14)?� _____ ________________________________
DAY FOUR:

19:20�� There God called for Moses to come up to the _________ ________________ of the mountain.
20������� In a few words, list the basis point of each of the Ten Commandments:

����������� 20:14___________________________________________
����������� 20:15 ___________________________________________
����������� 20:16 ___________________________________________
����������� 20:17 ___________________________________________
����������� Numbers 15:32 says that, even though one of the Ten Commandments said to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy and do no work on that day, a man was found ______________________________ wood.� We humans think this is no big deal.� We tend to think God will overlook the little things we do.� But in Numbers 15:35 God told them they must ____________________ him.�
����������� [Note:� In Old Testament days, God sometimes punished people immediately as a warning to others.� This does not mean they went to hell, however, as we recall from Moses being punished with death for striking the rock to get water instead of speaking to it.]
* * * * *
����������� When Jesus came, he repeated the last six in Mark 10:19.� He referred to Commandment One in Luke 4:8, Command-ment Two in Revelation 2:20, and Commandment Three in Matthew 5:33f.� The one commandment he never repeated was Number Four to keep the Sabbath (Saturday).�
����������� Instead, Jesus created a new holy day, Sunday.� Why did Sunday become holy (Matthew 28:1-6)?� _______
����������� _________________________________________________________________________________________
����������� Although early Christians sang, prayed, and searched the scriptures daily, what two things did they do exclusively on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7 and 1 Corinthians 16:2)?�
����������� (1) _____________________________________________
����������� (2) _____________________________________________
20:8���� When God said "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy," which Sabbath day did he intend to be kept holy?� Annually?� Semi-annually?� Quarterly? �Weekly?� ______ __________________________

24:1,9� After giving many other laws, God sent Moses back down the mountain to bring up his brother, Aaron, Aaron's two sons, and _____________________ of the elders of the people.
����������� NOTE:� This group of 70 later became known as the Sanhedrin or the Council.� Centuries later, this same group of men gathered in the middle of the night looking for (see Matthew 26:59) __________________ evidence against _______________ so they could put him to ____________.
31:18�� After giving Moses many other commandments (there weren't just ten), God gave Moses the _______________ tablets of the Testimony (10 Commandments) made of _____________________ and inscribed by the _________ of God.

����������� Centuries later, the apostle Paul referred to this event, saying the veil represented hard hearts of people who did not want to see God up close (2 Corinthians 3:12-18).� Christians with unveiled faces _______________________ the Lord's glory.� According to Exodus 33:18; what is God's glory? ___________________________________________
Deuteronomy
NOTE:� The name of this book comes from "deu" meaning duo or second, and "teronomy" meaning testimony.�
This is Moses giving a second account of their wanderings up to the point of his death (see Deuteronomy 1:3).
1:22f��� When they arrived at the edge of the Promised Land, Moses sent to spy out the land, one man from each ___________.
1:28���� When the spies returned they were afraid, saying that the people of Canaan were _______________ and __________ �and the cities had walls up to the ____________________.

3:26���� But God replied to him, "That is ________________.� Do not _____________ to me ___________________ of this matter."
18:18�� Amidst Moses retelling all the laws God gave them to obey, he gave this prophecy about Jesus:� "I [God] will raise up for them a ___________________________ like you [Moses] from among their brothers; I will put my ___________________ in his ________________________."
����������� Jesus recalled this in John 17:8 where he prayed to God the Father, "I gave them the __________________ you gave me."
34:1���� Then, after repeating the Law of Moses and its many commandments (not just ten), Moses climbed Mount ________________.� There God showed him the whole _____________________________.
