Water, Water, Why Have You Fled

Psalm 114

When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters
.-Psalm 114:1-8/the complete psalm***The Israelites descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his wives Leah and Rachel and maidservants Bilhah and Zilpah, and the 12 sons born to Jacob, his wives and maidservants. Decades after Jacob and his entire family moved from Canaan to Egypt, the country wherein Jacob and Rachel's firstborn son Joseph was second-in-command, generations of Israelites were eventually enslaved in Egypt, fulfilling the words that the Lord God spoke to Abraham when Abraham was in a deep sleep. Aaron and his brother Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83, the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague upon Pharaoh and Egypt. Pharaoh told Moses and Aaron to get the Israelites and their animals go serve the Lord God. Moses and Aaron led the Israelites away from Egypt, and Pharaoh and the Egyptians pursued the Israelites. As Moses obeyed the commands of the Lord God, the Lord God caused a wind to drive the waters of the Red Sea back, creating a dry bed. The Israelites, and those with them, walked across. The Egyptians drowned. During the 40th year of their journey to 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. Afterwards, the Lord God gave Joshua, Moses' successor, several commands for the Israelites. As Joshua and the Israelites obeyed the commands, the Lord God caused the Jordan River to stop flowing, and the Israelites walked 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. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of 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 Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 1:1-8:20, 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:25, 23:1-24:33, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Psalm 105, Psalm 106, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26

Reference Scriptures:
And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel: and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb: and thou  shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.-Exodus 17:5-6

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes: and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts to drink.-Numbers 20:7-8
