Strong's #8034, shem, "an appellation, as a MARK, or memorial of individuality." From this definition, it is clear that Yahweh's name not only represents His character, but also His "mark," of individuality; by implication, His honor, authority, and character. A "mark" is something written. Yahweh's "mark," or "name" on His subjects, or time, i.e., shows His ownership, just as Satan's mark on his subjects and time reveals his ownership. 47 Palomer, Henry Spencer, Sinai: From the Fourth Egyptian Dynasty to the Present Day;1878.

  • Chapter 7: Camp 7
    C H A P T E R S E V E N Manna, Mo’ed and the Moon-God: Wilderness of Sin ―And they removed from the Red Sea (Yam Suph), and encamped in the Wilderness of Sin,‖ Numbers 33: 11 (KJV). oday the Gulf of Aqaba provides a coastland full of resort towns, Tports, and wildlife preserves. The northern territory belongs to Jordan. They are proud of their unique coral reef systems, fish, and aquatic plant-life exhibits. "The Gulf of Aqaba is an environmental treasure, which Jordan is endeavoring to protect."77 But when Israel passed through it, this region was characterized by rocky soil, briar patches, and pagans who worshipped the moon. Upon leaving the marshy regions of Yam Suph, the multitude made their way into the Wilderness of Sin, exhibiting its rocky canyons and mountain passes. This map (on right) shows the correct Route of the Exodus and the Wilderness of Sin location of the Wild- erness of Sin just north of Jebel el Lawz (Mount Sinai) in the land of Midian. According to the Bible account, this geographic area lies between Elim and Mount Horeb (an- other name for Mount 106 Sinai).78 THE SEVENTH CAMPSITE This encampment, in the Wilderness of Sin, was Israel‘s seventh campsite. The Hebrew letter for seven is the zayin. Seven signifies the perfection of Yahweh. It also has to do with His perfect judgment, seven being the number of the ―sword of the Word,‖ and the "plan of God." Seven is the number that exonerates our Creator, even on a literal level.

  • Beshalach (When He Sent) Exodus 13:17 – 17:16
    Beshalach (When he sent) Exodus 13:17 – 17:16 This week we are in the time frame of the seven weeks between the Exodus from Egypt and the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai. We will take an in-depth look at a few of the significant events that happened during this time period as hwhy (Yahway) continued teaching and molding the children of Israel to be His special nation. Remember the covenant with Abraham? Its purpose was so that Abraham’s descendents would become His model nation through which all the nations of the earth would be blessed: Genesis 12:2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Abraham was told in part how this plan would begin to take shape: Genesis 15:13 Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. 14 "And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Okay, so now we are at this point. The nation has left Egypt with great possessions. But they are literally a bunch of ex-slaves to an Egyptian system. What was hwhy>’s perfect plan? Was it to enter the desert and wander around for the next 40 years? How did the behavior of the Israelites factor into the plan? A read through the entire Bible will bring to light the importance of repentance.

  • Exodus 16-17
    Exodus 16-17 • Israel turns their back on Egypt and Pharaoh and the Red Sea and begins to SLIDE 16/17-1 move eastward o Re!ecting on their entire time in Egypt and the Exodus, it’s truly a remarkable story § Surely, God could have accomplished His purposes with less drama and special effects § Therefore, the drama had a purpose and was part of God’s purposes o The manner of God’s work was designed to communicate an eternal message § The details of the drama were carefully crafted by the Lord to create pictures for coming events § For example, we’ve already noted how the judgments on Egypt and redemption of Israel picture the coming salvation of Israel in the last days of Tribulation § And how the Passover pictures Christ § And last week we added another picture created by the Red Sea crossing • God redeems those in bondage to sin through a call to leave the world and come to the holy mountain of God, that is Zion • And along the way to that meeting, we experience a baptism through water § These pictures haven’t ended • Far from it...they are just beginning • In fact, they continue until the very end of Deuteronomy • The drama of the Exodus and the 40 years of wandering are absolutely stuffed with pictures of later events in God’s prophetic plan § We will see still more tonight © 2012 – Verse By Verse Ministry International (www.versebyverseministry.org) May be copied and distributed provided the document is reproduced in its entirety, including this copyright statement, and no fee is collected for its distribution.

  • Exodus 15:19-16:24 Chavurah Shalom 11/12/16 V. 19-21 V. 19 Is
    Exodus 15:19-16:24 Chavurah Shalom 11/12/16 V. 19-21 v. 19 is an epilogue to the Song at the Sea, the Shirat ha-yam. This is considered not a part of the foregoing poetry of song, since this is no longer in the same poetic form, but serves as a prose summary statement of all that the song taught and reminded us of concerning the Exodus. Keil & Delitzsch propose that Pharaoh and his horse are first, as he leads his vast army into the depths of the sea with the wall of water on either side. He is placed at the head of the enemies destroyed by ADONAI. Our text would indeed seem to indicate this, with the first mentioned being the horse of Pharaoh, then his chariots and his horsemen. As he is in the sea, ADONAI returns the waters to their place, thus drowning all of them. But the children of Israel walked on the dry ground in the midst of the sea. This is quite the summary statement! v. 20-21 We have just a brief epilogue, followed with the identification of a separate worship involving Miriam and the women. Miriam is here identified as a prophetess. She is the older sister of the two brothers, Moshe and Aharon. She was instrumental in the saving of Moshe from being drowned in the Nile, and getting him into the hands of both the daughter of Pharaoh for his life, and into the hands of his own mother until weaned. She is counted alongside of Moshe and Aharon as leading Israel out of Egypt in Micah 6:4.

  • 230 the Route of the Exodus
    230 ROUTE OF THE EXODUS. so passionately fond of Biblical studies, and which has already made such great and fruitful sacrifices for the exploration of Palestine. CH. CLERMONT-GANNEAU. THE ROUTE OF THE EXODUS. ON the eve of the departure of the Palestine Exploration Expedition from Egypt for the Arabah last year I sent. to Major Kitchener a copy of my book, "The Hebrew Migration from Egypt" (Triibner), with a request that he would kindly note some places in the region he was about to visit as illustrative of my view of the route taken by the Israelites on their route from Egypt to the Land of Promise. I was specially anxious to learn certain particulars about the Haj route from Suez to Akabah, at the head of the eastern arm of the Red Sea, and about the region immediately to the east of Petra. The Expedition did not follow the above route, nor was time or opportunity permitted for the examination of the neigh­ bourhood of Petra. Major Kitcbener was, however. good enough to send me a list of the stations of the Haj, from Suez to Akabah, and their characteristics in respect to water supply, and after an examination of my views as to the course followed by the Hebrews, wrote to me as follows :­ "I think in your book you have described the actual route taken by the Israelites, and I fully believe Mount Hor and Mount Sinai to be one." As, however, my view completely revolutionises all that has for many centuries been generally accepted, respecting not only the track of the Israelites on quitting Egypt, but the locality of Mount Sinai, it may perhaps not be uninteresting to the members of the Palestine Exploration Fund to summarise briefly the principal grounds on which I have based my conclusions.

  • Shabbat 23 January 2016 - Beshalach
    1 Shabbat 23 January 2016 - Beshalach The Torah is our guide. It gives us direction about how we should comport ourselves in any given situation. Here are a few words from this week’s Sedra to apply and derive a message and to share with you. Indeed the word Torah comes from Horaah which means a message. This week we read from the shirat Hayam- the Song of Moshe and Yisrael after the miracles at the Red Sea. And what a wonderful song it is; then it is followed by the Shirat Miriam- the Torah tells us how the women separately sang for joy as well. But from that point on, the story is all down hill. The first step down “Vayasah moshe et Yisrael”- Moshe forced the Israelites to journey on. According to the Midrash, Moshe saw the Israelites becoming so consumed by the treasures from the sea, that he couldn’t get them to move on. He had to literally force them to go on their way. The second step down And no sooner had they moved on that they travel for three days in the wilderness where they couldn’t find water. They came to a place called Marah, called so because the water was bitter and they complain against Moshe; what are we going to drink? Moshe was shown a special tree to throw into the water and it became sweet and the people drank. Third step down They journey on. They arrive at the Wilderness of Sin. They complain to Moshe and Aharon. They say: We would have preferred to have died in the land of Egypt where we remember the fleshpots and where we ate bread plenty.

  • INTRODUCTORY SECTION I LET's EXPLORE EXODUS! Consider
    LET’S EXPLORE EXODUS! INTRODUCTORYSECTION I LET’S EXPLORE EXODUS! Consider the greatness of Exodus. “Nearly all the foundations of which JEWISH life is built- the Ten Commandments, the historic festivals, the leading prin- ciples of civil law-are contained in the book of Exodus.”J The importance of Exodus is not confined to the Jews alone. CHRISTIANS recognize the events in Exodus as having been written “by way of example” for our learning (I Cor. 10:ll). The bondage in Egypt illustrates our former bondage in sin. Moses is like unto Jesus Christ in many respects (Deut. 18:15; Acts 3:22; 7:37). Israel’s deliverance across the Red Sea was a “baptism unto Moses” and illustrates our “baptism into Christ” (I Cor. 10:2; Gal. 3:27). Israel’s failures in their wilderness journey were recorded that we might not fall into the same example of disobedience (Heb. 4: 11). The tabernacle, which is so prominent in Exodus 25-40, was a “figure for the time present” (Heb. 9:9). The greatness of Exodus radiates benefits and life-changing truth to ALL HUMANKIND. From no other book have men learned so much of the character and work of the LORD God, a “God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth; . and that will by no means clear the guilty” (Ex. 34:6,,7). From no other book has mankind learned laws more beneficial, comprehensive, and succinct than the ten commandments in Exodus. lJ. H. Hertz, The Pentateuch and Haftorahs (London: Soncino, 1969), p.

In the Hebrew, the word is mân (ïî È ) [pronounced mawn], which means what is it; manna. Strong’s #4478 BDB #577. 2. In the Greek, this is manna (ìÜííá) [pronounced MAHN-nah], which means what is it; the food that nourished the Israelites for forty years in the wilderness; 2) of the manna was kept in the ark of the covenant; 3) symbolically, that which is kept in the heavenly temple for the food of angels and the blessed.

    From Egypt to the Border of the Promised Land 1 These are the stages of the people of Israel, when they went out of the land of Egypt by their companies under the leadership of Moses and Aaron. 2 Moses wrote down their starting places, stage by stage, by command of the LORD, and these are their stages according to their starting places. From Egypt to Mount Sinai (Three months) 3 They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month. On the day after the Passover, the people of Israel went out triumphantly in the sight of all the Egyptians, 4 while the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, whom the LORD had struck down among them. On their gods also the LORD executed judgments. 5 So the people of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth. 6 And they set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness. 7 And they set out from Etham and turned back to Pi-hahiroth, which is east of Baal-zephon, and they camped before Migdol. 8 And they set out from before Hahiroth and passed through the midst of the sea into the wilderness, and they went a three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham and camped at Marah. 9 And they set out from Marah and came to Elim; at Elim there were twelve springs of water and seventy palm trees, and they camped there. Exodus 15:27 At Marah the water was undrinkable until Moses threw a log in to the water to make it drinkable.
