*********************************
And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. And the woman conceived and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 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. And his sister stood afar off, to wit what would be done to him. And the daughter of Pharaoh 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. And when she had opened 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. 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? And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Go. And the maid went and called the child's mother. 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. 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.-Exodus 2:1-10***When Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) lived in Ur in southern Mesopotamia, the Lord God told Abraham to go away from his country and kin and come into the land he would be shown. Abraham journeyed to Haran in northern Mesopotamia with his wife Sarah (Sarai), their father Terah and nephew Lot. Sometime after 205-year-old Terah died in Haran, Abraham, Sarah and Lot journeyed with their servants and possessions to Canaan. The Lord God promised to give Canaan to Abraham's descendants and to Abraham. When Abraham was in a deep sleep, the Lord God made a covenant with Abraham and told Abraham that Abraham's descendants would endure 400 years of affliction in a foreign land before the descendants would live in Canaan. When Abraham was 100 years old, Isaac was born to Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. When Isaac was 40 years old, he married Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah's grandniece. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Jacob married Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and Zilpah. Joseph and Benjamin were born to Jacob and Rachel. When Joseph was at least 17 years old, his brothers sold him to merchants traveling to Egypt and led Jacob to believe that Joseph was killed by an animal. The merchants sold Joseph to Potiphar, an Egyptian official, and Joseph became the top servant in Potiphar's home. After the false accusation of Potiphar's wife, Joseph was imprisoned. While imprisoned, Joseph revealed the interpretation of a dream to Pharaoh's baker and Pharaoh's cupbearer. When Joseph was 30 years old, he became the second-in-command in Egypt. During a famine in Canaan, Jacob sent his sons to Egypt 2 separate times. After their 2nd arrival in Egypt, Joseph identified himself to his brothers and told them to move with their families, including Jacob, to Egypt. Sometime after 147-year-old Jacob died in Egypt and his body was buried in Canaan, and Joseph and his siblings were dead, their descendants the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt. During the reign of a different Pharaoh, the Israelite (Hebrew) midwives were commanded to put to death all male newborns born to Israelite women. However, the midwives reverenced the Lord God, and disobeyed Pharaoh's orders and gave Pharaoh an excuse when they were questioned.Thus, Pharaoh commanded the Egyptians to toss newborn boys into the river. Amram and Jochebed were from the tribe of Levi. Years after Miriam was born to Amram and Jochebed, Aaron and Moses were born. When Moses was 3-months-old, Jochebed placed him in a specially prepared ark and set the ark among the vegetation by the river. When Moses was 40 years old, he killed an Egyptian. After the murder was mentioned to Moses during another dispute, Moses hurriedly left Egypt and began living in Midian. Moses married Zipporah, and sons Gershom and Eliezer were born to Moses and Zipporah. When Moses was 80 years old, and Aaron was 83, they led the Israelites away from Egypt, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness. During the 40th year of their journey Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, was from the tribe of Joseph and Asenath's 2nd born son Ephraim, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. Over 1,400 years after Joshua led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and Isaac, and to Jacob and their descendants, 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. Meanwhile, King Herod the Great, ruler of Judea for the Roman Empire, commanded that all boys 2 years old and younger in Bethlehem and the surrounding region be put to death.-Genesis 1:1-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 12:1-16, 20:1-29, 26:57-65, 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
