(The Thirty-fifth Day of the Counting of the Omer
The Fifth Sabbath of Counting Seven Sabbaths)
Verses 1-2 – I am not sure if I mentioned it to you last weak but the word for “harden” or “to strengthen” came from the root word that meant to “bait a trap”. Once again we see YHVH setting a trap for Pharaoh.

Verse 1-2 – Plague Number 5 – YHVH”s message is the same, “Let My people go!”
We see it used in Shem. 5:1, 7:16, 8:1, 8, 20-21; 9:13, 17; 10:3-4 and the message is the same, “Let My people go so that they serve Me (or slaughter to me). What has changed between the “Let My people go,” message and the command He gives us, “Come out of her My people?”

Verses 1-3 – Once again we see YHVH instructs Mosheh and Aharon to take a message Pharaoh.
Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “For this same purpose I have raised you up, to show My power in you, and that My Name be declared in all the earth.”
Rom 9:18 So, then, He favours whom He wishes, and He hardens whom He wishes.

Verses 1-2 – When you begin to break down Hebrew terms in Scripture all of a sudden Scripture takes on a new and more dynamic meaning than before. Last week we read Chapter 11 because we had time left after reading Chapter 10. We had some good questions and comments on Chapter 11 but we failed to find a pivotal phrase in verse 1. Look below at verse 1 in the ISR and KJV+ versions:
Lesson date: 9/16/5855AA
Verses 1-2 – Verse 1 sounds somewhat innocuous but I think it has big implications for us. Didn’t YHVH speak to us while we were still in Mitsrayim (Church). We may or may not have known His Name but I doubt that we knew about His Moedim or that YHVH had His own calendar. By the chesed of the Almighty I learned about His Moedim in 1979 but it took 40 years to put it together with all the other things we have learned. AND!, I am still learning, maybe not fast enough for everybody but I am still learning.

Verses 1-2 – These two verses are linked to verses 12-13 so I will cover them there.
Verses 3-8 – Chapter 13 is a short chapter but it is a very important chapter. The verses are tightly woven and form a command about the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the month of Abib (Aviv) and being set-apart. Once again, Passover is not a “festival” but rather a preparation day for Unleavened Bread. Chapter 12:11 tells us how we are to keep Passover, that we should be ready to flee. Chapter 13 makes it clear the Unleavened Bread is the festival and it is to commemorate Yisra’el being brought out of Mitsrayim. What is the big deal about unleavened Bread?

Chapter 14 is a continuation of chapter 13. Follow the progression of place names:
1.) Ramses 2.) Goshen 3.) Sukkot 4.) Etham
Verses 1-2 – Now, look at the progression that is taking place: before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Ba’al Tsephon.
Lesson date: 10/15/5855AA
Verses 1-2 – This is the very first time in Scripture that we see a song of deliverance being sung to YHVH. In fact, this is the first time we see a song of any kind being sung to YHVH. If you look at the word for the verb “sang” this is the first time it is used in Scripture: H7891 – שׁוּר שִׁיר – shı̂yr shûr – sheer, shoor
The second form being the original form, used in (1Sa_18:6); a primitive root (rather identical with H7788 through the idea of strolling minstrelsy); to sing: – behold [by mistake for H7789], sing (-er, -ing man, -ing woman).

Verses 1-3 – The Children of Yisra’el have now been on their journey for one month. Because they had to flee quickly, during the night of Passover/Unleavened Bread, they could not carry a large store of provisions. It is at about this time, between Elim and Sinai, that their provisions have been exhausted. Once again we see them grumbling: H3885 – לין / לוּן – lûn / lı̂yn – BDB Definition: 1) to lodge, stop over, pass the night, abide
Lesson date: 10/29/5855AA
Verse 1 – The first clue to this chapter is the word Rephidim: H7508 – רְפִידִים – rephı̂ydı̂ym – ref-ee-deem’ – Plural of the masculine of the same as H7507; ballusters; Rephidim, a place in the Desert: – Rephidim.
This definition tells us nothing of the meaning of the word. Let’s look to the BDB: H7508 – רפידים – rephı̂ydı̂ym – BDB Definition: Rephidim = “rests” or “stays” or “resting places” 1) a station of Israel in the wilderness between Egypt and Sinai. And why do you do you stop and rest? Because you are weak or tired: H7504 – רָפֶה – râpheh – raw-feh’ – From H7503; slack (in body or mind): – weak. In other words when we grow weak or slack, He prepares a place for us to rest and recuperate.
