01.20.2013 48

Exodus 12:3-4 (NIV 1984)

3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one for each household.

01.20.2013 49

Exodus 12:3-4 (NIV 1984)

4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat.

Deuteronomy 8:1-9 (NIV 1984)

1 Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land that the Lord promised on oath to your forefathers.

01.20.2013 51


2 Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.

01.20.2013 52


3 He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.

01.20.2013 53


4 Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.

5 Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.

01.20.2013 54


6 Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in his ways and revering him.

01.20.2013 55


7 For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land—a land with streams and pools of water, with springs flowing in the valleys and hills;

01.20.2013 56


8 a land with wheat and barley, vines and fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey;

01.20.2013 57


9 a land where bread will not be scarce and you will lack nothing; a land where the rocks are iron and you can dig copper out of the hills.

01.20.2013 58

1 Peter 1:18-21 (NIV 1984)

18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers,

01.20.2013 59

1 Peter 1:18-21 (NIV 1984)

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

01.20.2013 60

1 Peter 1:18-21 (NIV 1984)
