2014 BSF "The Life of Moses" Lesson 7, Q10~Q12

FIFTH DAY: Read Exodus 18.

Q10.

a. 

Zipporah said, “you are a bridegroom of blood to me,” showing she didn’t like the circumcision. Moses let go of his wife and sons, for the Lord has told Moses to.

Exodus 4:24-26

24At a lodging place on the way, the Lord met Moses and was about to kill him. 25 But Zipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it. "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me," she said. 26 So the Lord let him alone. (At that time she said “bridegroom of blood,” referring to circumcision.)

2 Samuel 16:11

11 David then said to Abishai and all his officials, “My son, my own flesh and blood, is trying to kill me. How much more, then, this Benjamite! Leave him alone; let him curse, for the Lord has told him to.

Lamentations 3:28

Let him sit alone in silence, for the Lord has laid it on him.

b. 

Only we follow the will of God.

Q11.

a. Exo 18:9-12 

Jethro was delighted to hear about all the good things the Lord had done. He said, “Praise be to the Lord” and acknowledged that the Lord is greater than all other gods.” Then Jethro brought a burnt offering and other sacrifices to God, and treated the Israelites a meal in the presence of God.

b. 

I acknowledge what God has done great to me to the people around; especially for the joy, peace and hope from Jesus.

Q12.

a. 

Moses served as judge for the people from morning till evening. Jethro worried the work was too heavy for Moses that he would be wore out.

b. 

Jerthro gave good advice and said, may God be with you.

c. 

Jethro told Moses to select capable men as judges—men who fear God, trustworthy, hate dishonest gain.

d. 

The Israelites chose the leaders themselves and Moses appointed them to have authority.

Deuteronomy 1:13 Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you.”

e.

God I pray for the help from You to relieve the pressure from my work, so I won’t wear out for it.
