A Sin of Capital Punishment Cannot Prevent Gods
Promise

• Genesis 38
• Promise is to be through Judah 4910
• Two sons die childless both as Tamar their wife
• Judah postpones Levirate marriage to his youngest
  Son
  
• Tamar, impatient, tricks Judah into adultery by
  playing the harlot and secures his signet
  bracelets, and staff. And he gave them to her,
  and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.
• When her pregnancy is discovered they would put
  her to death, but she produced Judahs articles
  and was spared. One of the twins she bore, Perez,
  was in the lineage of Christ

Joseph, the selected Protector of Israel Cannot
be Destroyed

• NOT BY HIS BRETHREN WHO HATED HIM
• 3719. And they said one to another, Behold,
  this dreamer cometh.
  
• 20. Come now therefore, and let us slay him,
  and cast him into one of the pits, and we will
  say, And evil beast hath devoured him and we
  shall see what will become of his dreams.
• 21. And Reuben heard it, and delivered him out
  of their hand, and said, Let us not take his
  life.
  
• 22. And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood
  cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness,
  but lay no hand upon him that he might deliver
  him out of their hand, to restore him to his
  father.
• 28. And there passed by Midianites, merchantmen
  and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the
  pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for
  twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph
  into Egypt.

Not by the seduction of A Wicked Woman

• 3912. And she caught him by his garment,
  saying, Lie with me and he left his garment in
  her hand, and fled, and got him out. 13. And
  it came to pass, when she saw that he had left
  his garment in her hand, and was fled forth,
  14. that she called unto the men of her house,
  and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought
  in a Hebrew unto us to mock us he came in unto
  me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice
  
• 15. and it came to pass, when he heard that I
  lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his
  garment by me, and fled, and got him out. 16.
  And she laid up his garment by her, until his
  master came

Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the
guard

• 3920. And Joseph's master took him, and put him
  into the prison, the place where the king's
  prisoners were bound and he was there in the
  prison. 21. But Jehovah was with Joseph, and
  showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in
  the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22. And
  the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's
  hand all the prisoners that were in the prison
  and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of
  it. 23. The keeper of the prison looked not
  to anything that was under his hand, because
  Jehovah was with him and that which he did,
  Jehovah made it prosper.
• Because of his character, and gift of dream
  interpretation, he eventual was made governor of
  Egypt and brought his family into Egypt where
  they thrived for 400 years.

JOSEPH DIES IN EGYPT B UT DESIRES TO BE MOVED.
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. 21.
Now therefore fear ye not I will nourish you,
and your little ones. And he comforted them, and
spake kindly unto them. 22. And Joseph dwelt in
Egypt, he, and his father's house and Joseph
lived an hundred and ten years. 23. And Joseph
saw Ephraim's children of the third generation
the children also of Machir the son of Manasseh
were brought up upon Joseph's knees. 24. And
Joseph said unto his brethren, I die and God
will surely visit you, and bring you out of this
land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob. 25. And Joseph took an oath
of the children of Israel, saying, God will
surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones
from hence. 26. So Joseph died, being an
hundred and ten years old and they embalmed him,
and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

EXODUS 1 God Saves Moses, His chosen deliverer,
from Pharaohs law of male infanticide

• Ex. 116. And he said, When ye do the office of
  a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon
  the stools if it be a son, then ye shall kill
  him but if it be a daughter, then she shall
  live.
• 17. But the midwives feared God, and did not as
  the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the
  men children alive.
  
• GOD MOCKS PHARAOH (SATAN) BY RAISING MOSES IN HIS
  HOUSE AND EDUCATING HIM.

9
GOD USES PHARAOAH TO EDUCATE MOSES
Exodus 23. And when she could not longer hide
him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and
daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the
child therein and she laid it in the flags by
the river's brink.
4. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what
would be done to him. 5. And the daughter of Ph
araoh came down to wash herself at the river and
her maidens walked along by the river's side and
when she saw the ark among the flags, she sent
her maid to fetch it. 6. And when she had opene
d it, she saw the child and, behold, the babe
wept. And she had compassion on him, and said,
This is one of the Hebrews' children.
10
MOSES MOTHER REARS HER CHILD IN PHAROAHS HOUSE
7. Then said his sister to Pharaoh's daughter,
Shall I go and call to thee a nurse of the Hebrew
women, that she may nurse the child for thee? 8.
And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the
maid went and called the child's mother. 9. And
Pharaoh's daughter said unto her, Take this child
away, and nurse it for me, and I will give thee
thy wages. And the woman took the child, and
nursed it. 10. And the child grew, and she
brought him unto Pharaoh's daughter, and he
became her son. And she called his name Moses
and she said, Because I drew him out of the
water. 11. And it came to pass in those days,
when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his
brethren, and looked on their burdens and he
spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his
brethren. 12. And he looked this way and that
way, and when he saw that there was no man, he
slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand.
11
EXODUS 2 13-16 AT 40, MOSES KILLS AN EGYPTIAN
FOR WHIPPING AN ISRAELITE AND FLEES FOR HIS
LIFE Goes to Midian and becomes a sheep herder fo
r Jethro who becomes his Father-in-law.
Another 40 years pass and God is now ready to use
him as a deliverer for the children of Israel
from Egyptian slavery and form them into a nation
under God.
12
God Calls Moses
1. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father
in law, the priest of Midian and he led the
flock to the backside of the desert, and came to
the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him
in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush
and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with
fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3. And
Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this
great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4.
And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to
see, God called unto him out of the midst of the
bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here
am I. 5. And he said, Draw not nigh hither put
off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place
whereon thou standest is holy ground.
13
The Great I Am Sends Moses TO Pharaoh
EX. 313. And Moses said unto God, Behold, when
I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say
unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me
unto you and they shall say to me, What is his
name? what shall I say unto them?
14. And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM
and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
14
Jesus claimed this identification for Himself
John 858. Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily,
I say unto you, Before Abraham was,
I am.
15
Moses Confronts Pharaoh With the Rod of God

• 1. And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and
  told Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel,
  Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto
  me in the wilderness.
• 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.

16
The Test of Serpents
EX. 78. And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, saying, 9. When Pharaoh shall speak unto
you, saying, Shew a miracle for you then thou
shalt say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and cast it
before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
10. And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh,
and they did so as the Lord had commanded and
Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and
before his servants, and it became a serpent.
11. Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and
the sorcerers now the magicians of Egypt, they
also did in like manner with their enchantments.
12. For they cast down every man his rod, and
they became serpents but Aaron's rod swallowed
up their rods. 13. And he hardened Pharaoh's
heart, that he hearkened not unto them as the
Lord had said.
17
WHY THE PLAGUES?
Ex. 52 I know not the Lord, neither will I let
Israel go. 717In this thou shalt know that I am

ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all
people for all the earth is mine 6. And ye
shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an
holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt
speak unto the children of Israel. 7. And Moses

laid before their faces all these words which the
Lord commanded him. 8. And all the people
answered together, and said, All that the Lord
hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the
words of the people unto the Lord.
