Pleas and Thank You

And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God. And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.-Luke 17:11-19***Miriamher younger brothers Aaron and Moses, and their fellow Israelites heard the voice of the Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them months after Moses and Aaron led the Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur. Shortly thereafter, the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. Upon Mount Sinai, the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron, and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. While the Israelites were still in the region of Mount Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses and Aaron laws regarding food, leprosy, bodily discharges, tribal camp arrangements, duties for the priests, and duties for the Levites, the priests' assistants. People with the beginnings of a possibly infectious skin disease or an actual skin disease were to be examined by a priest. If the priest proclaimed a person unclean, the unclean person was required to tear their clothing, keep their head uncovered, cover their upper lip, audibly announce that they are unclean, and live outside the camp. In Hazeroth, Miriam was afflicted with leprosy and forced to live apart from the Israelites for 7 days, according to the command of the Lord God. Over 1,400 years after Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. Jesus having prayed, the heavens tearing open, the Holy Spirit descended as a dove and lit upon Jesus. The Lord God in heaven audibly acknowledged his Son Jesus, and the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert wilderness. Jesus fasted for 40 days and nights and was tempted. Afterwards, Jesus was tended to by angels, and Jesus went to the area near John the Baptist, and John the Baptist proclaimed Jesus to be the Lamb of God taking away the sin of the world. In Galilee, Jesus told specific Israelite men to follow him, and Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. When Jesus was journeying to Jerusalem in Judea, 10 leprous men cried pleas of mercy.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 11:1-47, 13:1-15:33, Numbers 2:1-34, 4:1-49, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
