If - Then

So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they  went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. And when the came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.-Exodus 15:22-26***After 9 plagues that included bloody water, frogs, lice, flies, livestock, hail, boils, pestilence, hail, locusts, and darkness, the Lord God brought the 10th and final plague, death, upon Egypt and Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Afterwards, Pharaoh summoned Moses and Moses' older brother Aaron and told them to get the Israelites and their animals and go serve the Lord God. Moreover, Pharaoh told Moses and Aaron to bless him. Before 80-year-old Moses and 83-year-old Aaron led their fellow Israelites away from Egyptian slavery, across the divinely parted Red Sea, and into the desert wilderness of Shur, according to the commands of the Lord God, the Israelites asked for and were given an abundance of valuable goods, fulfilling the words that the Lord God spoke to their ancestor Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) over 600 years earlier.  During the 40-year journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Miriam  the prophetess, the older sister of Aaron and Moses, died and was buried in Kadesh, in the desert wilderness of Zin. Upon Mount Hor, 123-year-old Aaron the high priest died. When Moses went upon Mount Nebo, the Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and 120-year-old Moses the prophet died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' aide and successor from the tribe of Ephraim, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the land that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham, and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Over 1,300 years after 110-year-old Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, John the Baptist and Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, were born. John the Baptist was born into the tribe of Jacob's 3rd born son Levi, the tribe of Miriam, Aaron and Moses, to Zechariah (Zacharias) the priest and his wife Elizabeth (Elisabeth). Jesus the Christ was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Elizabeth's relative Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 12:1-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 23:12-23, Deuteronomy 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, 1 Chronicles 1:1-28, 2:1-17, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
