Exodus Ch. 2 - Ch. 10

The Oppression of Israel and Pharaoh’s Identity

The as we continue on through the first chapter this new king now a little confusion might crop up in your mind. If you're not careful history does tell us that the Hykses h-y-k-s-e-s the Hykses people did come into that area at that time.

Now the word Pharaoh is only a title that was not the man's name. It's just like Caesar there was Julius Tiberius Octavius and Augustus and it's sort of title they were the ruler and the Pharaoh was the same way a Pharaoh was just a title that meant he was the ruler.

Now the evidence is that the Hykses came in and took over. It's sort of like in the Middle Ages the house of Tudor or the house of stewards. It's just sort of the ruling party as it was the ruling group.

And what they did was they had their own people in the high offices and they began to stir up dissension amongst themselves and then transferred that dissension to the Egyptians. And it's a we can see this if you look with me just one verse just kind of to kind of wet our appetite about it.

If you read verse 9 of chapter 1 and he said unto his people this new king behold the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we now. My dear friend there has never been a time in history even to this day when there were more Jews than there were Arabs there over a hundred million Arabs right now and there are only 20 million Jews scattered throughout the whole world.

Now I know the Hitler got about six million a mile away. I understand that but what he's talking about here is that they were mightier than the ruling party. But now the ruling party controlled the whole nation of Egypt and so the Egyptians.

Now it's quite interesting if you come back over into chapter 2 with me and look at verse 19 when Moses met Zipporah. Zipporah his future wife at the well verse 19 said. And they said an Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds.

Moses wasn't Egyptian but she called him an Egyptian. Why. He looked like one. Whatever you said. What he looked like a Jew. What's he. What did you look like. We don't know what's an Egyptian look like.

We don't know. If I brought an Arab person through the door you would know where there was an Egyptian and a Syrian a Lebanese Pakistani. You couldn't know. We just have preconceived notions. Well he dressed like an Egyptian.

He had the attire the apparel. And so the word Egyptian can be very specific. I mean the people of the nation of Egypt. But it also can mean whoever was on the rule of the Pharaoh they were considered Egyptians.

Now these were the Egyptian people. But there were also some other people mingled in with that. Now that may be confusing to you but if you think about it work it out in your mind it ought not to be. It ought not to be.

And so we have this new king and then the new strategy that he came on with. They want to stir everything up and they want to drown all these little boys. Now this brings us to part 2 of our study that we had last night.

God’s Timing in the Preparation of Moses

And this begins chapter 2. Then we entitled this one. We tell the first one the persecution. We're trying to give you some letters A's and P's and things like this the persecution of God's people. Now we have the preparation of God's prophet in chapter 2.

So open your Bible to chapter 2 and we'll go through these varying verses. It seemed as though God was doing nothing. They didn't have 400 years and they saying they cry and pray and it seemed like God just wasn't moving in their lives.

Now they prayed and they cried out. And in chapter 2 verse 24 and 25 we see it. God heard their groaning and God remembered his covenant with Abraham with Isaac and with Jacob and God looked upon the children of Israel and God heard them.

Are the actually the readings. God knew their plight God knew their position and so he began to deal with them on that basis. Now they cried and prayed and wondered where his deliverance was and God heard it now as again I say if they had remembered what was told them that's recorded for you and me in Genesis 15 they would have known that if they could just wait 400 years God take care of it.

But they got in a hurry and they began to cry and moan and groan and plead and beg God. Well the time was about up and so God began to move. But we make note right here that God is never in a hurry friends God's got everything working on schedule.

Don't worry about it. God's got everything on schedule. God never gets in a hurry. He has never one second behind nor has God ever one second ahead. God just works right on his schedule. He just doesn't work according to yours and mine.

That's when we think he's a little out of order. He doesn't work quick enough or he works too quick or he's lagging behind. But God works right on schedule and he worked right on schedule with these particular people.

He already had a leader chosen and they didn't know about it. Did they. He already had a man picked out a prophet a man named Moses that was going to lead them and he was already preparing Moses to do the job or bring him out.

And they had no idea that God was working. You may not know God's doing something that you're concerned about but I'll guarantee you if God's in it he's already working. God's already working in your situation.

If you're a Christian if you belong to God I don't care what it is in your life God is involved in that somehow or other because you belong to him. You belong him. Let's just don't get impatient. Let's let God work when he wants to work and how he wants to work now God use the means that I have here of preparing Moses.

In the first 10 verses of chapter 2 you discover that he had a godly home. They wasn't in it long. But my friend if you dedicate your child to God and you yourself are faithful as you can be to God God obligates himself to you to watch over that child and to move through that child's life.

Now we find out what was their name. The dad of Moses his name was what Amram Jethro was. We can't get these father-in-laws out of the way. Can we okay the in-laws they always cause us problems. Yeah not really not really not really okay.

Amram and Yokobet. Or Jokobet as you would say it or Jokobet if you would say it in there and you can pronounce it Yokobet or Yokobet whichever way you want to pronounce it we find that they were the mother and dad as we study on through the book of Exodus.

Now we learned that this godly couple Amram and Yokobet that they could get married in a situation like they were in indicate some great love for each other. Here they were in the slime pits making mortar trying to mix bricks dying all around them death and destruction everywhere sometimes not even a good diet sometimes not enough food.

And they loved each other enough and had enough faith in their God and each other that they'd go ahead and get married under those circumstances. And as they did so then they began to and their wedding situation and they had this little boy.

Now you'll notice what it tells us here there when a man and first verse of the house of Levi and took to wife a daughter of Levi and the woman conceived and bore son and when she saw him that he was a goodly child she hid him three months.

And that is translation of the Hebrew word beautiful before God. Many translations just have the word beautiful but the Hebrew actually means beautiful before God. He was a goodly child in the eyes of God he was an attractive child and seemingly a healthy child.

And of course we know that he was beautiful before God because before the world's ever created God knew that boy was gonna be the Redeemer of the people of Israel. And so we have this and I'm convinced if I know anything about what went on they dedicated that young boy.

They dedicated him to God and gave him to God just committed himself themselves and that little boy to the Lord. So we see that he had a godly set of parents. Now my friends let me just inject this here.

You never know what God sees in your child. You and I may not see very much in him but you cannot tell what God sees in that child. And who knows there might be a deal moody there. Who knows there may be a our of Sankey a Billy Sunday.

You never know what's in your child. There may be another lot in moon. You don't know whose child what's in them. And so if you commit them to God and dedicate them to God then pray for them and nurture them as best you can and let God work in their lives.

And so it took real faith to take this little boy that they loved and put him in a river. Now this was the very river. Now we find all this in first ten verses here it's the very river that they were killing the children in wasn't the very river they were throwing the children into to kill him.

They go down and put this little boy in the same river so God can take that which the world and the enemy tries to use as destructive and God can make it a blessing because it was the only way the little boy could get to where God wanted him to be was in that river.

In that little ark we said it carried treasures and he moved down and God miraculously led that little boy in there. Now also one of the preparations of Moses as the leader of the people of Israel God gave him a special education.

He had an education that surpassed anybody's of his day. He was educated on the great nation of Egypt and he was trained in their schools. And men today still marvel and wonder at the accomplishments of the Egyptian people.

My friend their sanitation systems it supersedes anything we've got. Their sanitation system is better than anything in the United States of America. Their water system was better than anything this country.

They've got pyramids been standing down there and we can't even build a building that stands straight. Our buildings have to move. You go down to the George C Wallace tunnel and I'll guarantee it it moves underneath the Mobile Bay the Bankhead tunnel.

I've been through that thing thousands of times as many as you have used to go through it four or five times a day. And that thing moves back and forth just barely moves. Old old pyramids been standing in a few years and they hadn't moved a lick maybe enough thousands years.

There they stand there they stand. Those stones are a ton and a half a piece and they were put on top up there by hand. Those things are so smooth and human together that you can take a knife blade and you cannot move that knife blade between those stones.

They are so smoothly put together with human hands and human ingenuity. Man still marvels at the technological accomplishments accomplishments of these people. Now that's the situation that Moses was trained on.

Moses had a tremendous education and with all of his education and then he did get ahead of God but he was well trained. Now again we think here there's nothing wrong with education. I believe that God abhors intellectual laziness and our churches are filled with people that are intellectually lazy.

They don't want to study. They want to dig it out for themselves. They want somebody to feed it to them. Or they want to live on what they already know or what they've already learned. And they're not willing to unlearn.

They're not willing to learn. They're not willing to put forth honest effort of what it takes to really be a student of God's precious Word. And that's why I'm so grateful that your church would set aside time like this that we might come together and study the word.

But with all the education they had it was no substitute for the wisdom of God. We got to be careful. Education means nothing if it's if it's not controlled by the wisdom that comes from God. Because all it will bring you to is a selfish gratification of the old animal desire in your life.

That old self that old ego. It has to be controlled by God. All right special education. And then we see that there was a great failure a great fail. You will find most of the great men and women that God has used had a failure in their life.

Now it isn't necessary. It just seems to be that way. It just seems to be that way. I get to wonder. Well maybe one day I'll be great because I got the failures I got to have. At least I got one of the four anyhow you know.

And I seem to be stacking up on this one. Well I had a godly home didn't have a Christian home and had a godly home. I got a little bit of education. Long delay. I've been waiting on it long enough since I've been a Christian.

So I said well I'm stacking up on those number three. So you and I can identify with these. But that's in verses 11 through 15. Great failure in his life. Now Moses was 40 years of age when this great decision came to him to leave the palace of the Pharaoh and become the deliverer of Israel.

Now you have to admire his love and courage. You have to admire many things about his life even though he did fail in many ways. Now look at verse 12. Chapter 2. Verse 12. He came out and he saw an object an Egyptian fighting a Hebrew one of his brethren.

And he looked this way and that way. Now what's that tell us spiritually. That tells us he was walking by sight not by faith. He looking around he checking it out. Make sure nobody got down because he's fixing to zap this Egyptian you see.

And he did so he killed him his son like Peter in the garden. Moses depended upon the power and energy of his own strength. He depending upon the sword he could put in his hand or the fist that he could clinch and the strength that was in his own body just like Peter did in the garden.

They came to get Jesus. He whipped the sword out. He didn't understand that the battle that God had before him was a spiritual battle. It was going to be a spiritual battle. Later on he exchanged the sword for a rod.

And the power would be from God's hand not his own. He fought the wrong enemy. He was fighting men and not Satan. He used the wrong energy. He was using the energy of the flesh rather than the spirit.

He used the wrong weapon. And he acted at the wrong time. So there were a lot of wrongs in his life. Right. He acted at wrong time. God wasn't ready for him to set forth at that moment. But yet here he was gonna be the deliverer of this young Hebrew.

Whoever he was that was battling. Now he buried the body. And of course the evidence is to the contrary that the murder was not known. Somebody saw it that you saw it. Evidently someone else did. Because as we read this we find as we look at it you will find in verse 15.

Now when Pharaoh heard this thing he sought to slay Moses. Evidently the information got back to Pharaoh that he had killed an Egyptian. And so Moses he cut out. He made the scene and he left. And he wasn't gonna hang around very long now.

So evidently they found out about it and this was wrong. What he did. We don't condone murder but you have to admire his courage and you have to admire his conviction. One man made the following statement about Moses.

And I like this. It's so unique. But he said. And I just quote what he said. Moses saw the invisible. He chose the imperishable and did the impossible. He saw the invisible. He chose the imperishable and he did or accomplished the impossible.

Now faith has its refusals and refusals lead to rewards. He refused to live in the palace of the Pharaoh. He refused to have the riches of the world. He refused to have the prestige and the power that would come from the position of being the Pharaoh's son.

He refused all of that and seemingly lost everything he had. But my friends had brought him rewards that will be eternal. It was Moses who was on the Mount of Transfiguration with Elijah and spoke to the Lord Jesus Christ himself.

It was Moses who wrote the first five books of the Bible. It was Moses who gave us the law. It was Moses who gave us the dimensions of the tabernacles. This great man Moses and all this came out of his refusal to be in the favored position.

Now he was hasty in his actions and God set him aside for some further training. God decided that he needed a little training and that he needed to learn that the weapons of his warfare were not fleshly but there were to be spiritual weapons.

And so there was a long delay and that begins with verse 16 and goes all the way through verse 25 a long delay. His life is divided into three equal periods of 40 years each. 40 years each. He was 40 years as a prince in Egypt.

He was 40 years as a shepherd in Midian. And he was 40 years in a ministry in a ministry of service serving the Lord doing what God said. Now it's interesting how many important scenes in the Bible take place at a well.

If you want to do an interesting Bible study. Trace a well. WLL just trace the wells through the Bible. There are some of the most important events that happen at a well. Moses met his wife at a well.

Jacob went rolling around and he found a well. Jesus met the Samaritan woman at a well and all kinds of things happen at wells. And of course there seemed to be a little gathering place there. Now Moses assisted these women and I've asked that you read it and you read it and it's quite familiar to you.

And he assists these women to water their flocks. And it led him to Jethro who was a priest. We said I see you worship false gods and he was one of their priests in Midian and he was a Midianite. They did worship false gods.

And we see later on in around chapter 18 you'll see as we get there the next is that he did turn to the true Lord. But in these first chapters he did not do so and resulted in his marriage to Zipporah.

Zipporah whichever way you would want to pronounce it. Now the girls identified him. We said as an Egyptian. And so we can immediately see that he looked more like an Egyptian than he did a Jew. Isn't it tragic that it's difficult for people to recognize a Christian.

We just look like everybody else. Moses didn't look like a Hebrew. He just looked like all those Egyptians they've been meeting. And my Bible says we ought to be separated people. We're to be peculiar people.

We're supposed to be different. We don't like to be different. And one of the big problems with teenagers today is the same problem that adults face peer pressure. Society can put pressure on a man a woman where he will sell his God.

He will sell his. He'll sell his convictions. He'll sell everything he's got just to get the community to put their approval on him and call him a good Joe. A woman will do the same thing. She'll sacrifice her convictions in the social clubs.

Young people will sacrifice their convictions at high school. They'll do anything just to get somebody in that society our community to like them so they don't offend anybody. They'll sell everything they've got just short of committing murder or going into financial bankruptcy or something to do it.

And a lot of people even go that far just to get the approval of society. Moses look like everybody else. He should have been different. Later on he did. He was different. And we went back to Pharaoh.

Pharaoh saw a difference. Pharaoh knew wasn't the same fella that was hanging around down there before. And you and I can learn a great lesson just out of that particular statement all right now Moses spent 40 years as a faithful servant shepherd in Midian.

And then God prepared him for the difficult task. While rejected we said he took a Gentile bride. And then he had a young boy by the name of Gershom was his child. You find this in verses 16 to 25. He had a young boy and he named him Gershom.

And the word Gershom means stranger. Stranger. He named the little boy stranger he said because I am an alien in a foreign country. He named the boy stranger because he had him in a country in another country.

So it indicates to us that Moses had some concept of another place that he was supposed to be. And it wasn't in Egypt. He knew it couldn't go back down there because they knew he killed somebody. So evidently God had already placed in his heart a longing for the same place that all Jews have a longing for today deep down in their heart and our people God had just implanted something within our hearts that we long for that land.

We long to be in that place. And you and I gonna go in February. Many of us all right just thought I'd drop that on you just kind of keep reminding you we are going to be there this year and so you'll be able to see it all for yourself.

Now it just seems like God hadn't been doing anything doesn't it. And yet here's the groans of his people. But he's waiting for the right time. Now listen carefully. Whenever God works he uses the right worker.

He uses the right plan and he acts at the right time always endeavor. And anytime it isn't the right worker and anytime it isn't the right place and the right time and the right way you can bank on it that God isn't in it.

Because when God's in it my friends it will move it will move and it will go. As one man said God don't sponsor no flops. When God says go it goes. Always does. God is successful in everything that he tries to do.

And soon Moses out there taking care of a few sheep he's gonna be shepherding a whole nation of people. And so God groomed him. Didn't he. And learned a lot about people from just watching sheep. I mentioned you.

I think when I was with you in a revival meeting I learned more in two hours from a sheep herder down in Weatherford Texas. And I learned in three years in seminary about what Jesus was talking about when he says all we like sheep you know he said my sheep know my voice.

Isaiah said all we like sheep have gone astray. And when I began to learn about sheep I learned more about people but just watching sheep and trying to apply it into the scripture. And so Moses was learning an awful lot.

He would exchange for the rod of power the shepherds crook. And then it would be used of God. And so he was faithful in a humble job of being a shepherd. And God got him ready to move into chapter 3 and chapter 4 where God began to call him now.

The Burning Bush and the Holiness of God

And the first part of chapter 4 I mean a chapter 3 will 3 and 4. Chapter 3 verses 1 through 6 God appears to Moses is our outline. God appeared to Moses. Now in this passage it says that in verse 2 and the angel of the Lord appeared unto him.

Now we've tried to explain to you that this is a theophany this is an appearance of Christ. Now if you will notice what it says and says. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire.

Now most people don't watch words. I have found that even in meetings like this always find somebody that comes up and wants to disagree about something. And they don't watch words. But you better watch the words.

Now was this an angel of the Lord. Who was this. Wasn't it God. Wasn't it the Lord himself. Well how do we know that. Because it plainly tells us. Doesn't it. It just plainly tells us exactly who he was.

Look at verse 6. Moreover he said this is a reference back to that holy angel. I am the God of thy father the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. And Moses hit his face. For he was afraid to look upon God.

That's the translation of the word eternal. It would be the eternal majesty was there. And yet in one verse it's called the angel of God. That's exactly what happened over in Genesis 31 verses 11 through 13 Jacob met an angel and he says I am the God of Bethel which means the house of God.

And yet he wrestled with an angel and he said I met God face-to-face. Well but the Bible says an angel. Well who is he meeting. He was meeting the Lord Jesus Christ who had taken human form who had taken him.

And all conservative Bible scholars agree on that around the world. I'm not giving you something new. That has been the teaching of conservative Bible scholars throughout the years. And yet if we're not careful if we don't watch the words we don't distinguish between that.

And we think he's talking some kind of an angel speaking through that anytime this phrase is used the angel of the Lord it is always that phrase. And it's only uniquely used in those places where you have a qualification that it is God.

This is not the same word that's used for messenger or another kind of angel. There are different classes of angels and other words are used. These words are only used in reference to deity to deity to the divinity.

And so God appeared to Moses. Now he went out with a sheep that morning. He had no idea he was going to meet the eternal majesty. Nowhere in the world we can assume that he had any concept. Name it. God speaking to a burning bush called the Shekinah.

Beautiful Hebrew word. It isn't in the Bible. But the Hebrew people have a word they call it Shekinah. Shekinah it means the personal presence of majesty. The Shekinah s-h-e-c-h-i-n-a-h Shekinah the personal presence of majesty.

That's the way they explained it. And it is true. This is exactly what it was. All right. The burning bush had a threefold significance doesn't it. Let me give you a threefold significance in the burning bush.

First of all it is a picture of God. You might at your leisure read Deuteronomy 33 16. Deuteronomy 33 16 when it plainly tells us that plainly tells us that. Well while you're writing down that it's a perfect picture of God let me read you Deuteronomy 33 16.

Deuteronomy 33 16 says the following. And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof and for the goodwill of him who dwelt in the bush let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph and upon the top of the head of him who are separated from his brethren his glory.

And he goes on and shows us that the one who's in the bush has glory. It's a reference to deity. All right. It's a picture of the power of God. Moses needed a reminder perhaps of a power and the glory of God because he was going down to take an impossible task.

All right. The second significance is that Bush also symbolized Israel. Israel was going through the furnace and the fire of affliction in Egypt yet she was not consumed. How many times in history have people men.

How many times have men tried to destroy the Jewish race. And still they've been unsuccessful. Anti-semitism is rampant. It's rampant today and it's never ceased. It has been more subtle in this generation.

But anti-semitism no race of people in history have been attacked more than the Jewish people. There has been no group of people on the face of the earth that have had more ridicule more rebuke more trials more suffering more affliction than the people of Israel.

Satan using human instruments have tried and tried and tried to destroy them yet they still exist. They are a miracle nation. They're God's miracle people. And they're not going to wipe them out or exterminate them because God is faithful.

All right. It's a picture of Israel. Finally it is also illustration of Moses himself a humble shepherd. Yet with God's help he would become a fire that you could not put out. He would become a flaming evangel.

He would become a flaming instrument for God that could not be consumed nor could he be quenched. All right. Now Moses was brought to the place where he vowed before God adored him in wonder because that is the true beginning of serving God.

God never uses any person until he takes off his shoes in humility before God can trust him to walk in power. God will never empower any life until that person first of all comes to the place of bowing before God swallowing his pride forgetting their ego forgetting what the community thinks or does not think.

Stop worrying about what people say or do not say before God will ever give them their power. And you might ask yourself a question tonight. And I only say this as a just a little encouragement to you.

Ask yourself where the power of God is in your life. Where is the power of God in your life. And if it isn't in there it's probably because you've never come to the burning bush. And maybe because I've never come to the place of brokenness brokenness before God.

And until God breaks that will he will never put his anointing power on that life. He never has and he never will. What you may think is anointing power. Maybe something entirely different than what the Bible calls the anointing power of God.

So just say that to encourage. As we all together evaluate our personal lives you'll find Isaiah 6 that God revealed his glory to Isaiah before he ever empowered him. He saw the holiness and the glory of God.

And you and I must come before the holiness and the glory of God before we can ever be used. So the memory of the burning bush probably I think we could safely say it would be a source of encouragement for Moses for a long time to come.

Anytime he got discouraged he'd say about the burning bush it was God who spoke to me. It was God who sent me. So God can keep me. If God's put you where you are God can keep you. Can't he. If God's put you where you are God can take care of you.

And God's not going to forget you. Don't you believe that God knows you're in Stevenson Alabama. Don't you believe that God knows you're here. God knows what you need. God knows your problems. He hadn't forgot about it.

He's not down in Texas. I mean he's there. But he's not hiding down there and forgot you here in Alabama. He's not gone off somewhere. He's not just over in Israel. God knows who you are. God knows the needs and all this.

And so all we need to do is to wait upon him. Now the second thing we see is God to Moses. God appoints Moses. Chapter 3. Verses 7 through 10. God appoints Moses all right. Notice something with me in verse chapter 3.

Look at verse 7 I have surely seen you notice. And the Lord said I have surely seen. Then you see right in the middle of it he says have heard. God saw God heard. And then he says I know. God knows their sorrows mercy.

He says I am come down. God begins that God saw them. He heard them. He knew what the problem was and he says I am come down. He began to move. Then you come down to verse 10 he says I will send thee.

So he picks him out someone and says I'm going to send help to them. And then that man comes back in verse 11 says but who am I. Who am I. And so God's trying to appoint him. He's giving him grace. God says I've seen I've heard they cry.

I know I am come down now. I'm convinced as I studied the life of Moses that Moses must have wondered about these people here. They've been crying out praying. He knew what was going on amongst them. He lived down there even though he wasn't with them.

When he was in the Pharaoh's court. He surely knew of all the reports he would have been mingling about them. And maybe he wondered. Well if their God is God then how come he doesn't do something about it.

How come he isn't reaching down to them. And so he begins to see that God is going to do something in their life. As God saw you and me in our spiritual bondage he sent his son and he came down. And God came down in the person of Christ to deliver us from sin.

Now God has a definite plan. He wants to bring them out and then to take them in. He wants to bring them out and to take them in. God never brings you out but to put you in somewhere. If God's gonna take us out of something or something he wants us to get into.

That's just the way it is. So he wanted to get them out of Egypt to get them into the promised land. He wants to get you out of self sin and Satan and bondage to all that wraps us up in our lives to get us into Canaan.

He wants us to get into that place of rest in him where we have confidence and assurance in him. Now listen to me carefully. Moses rejoiced. I'm confident to hear that God was about to do something. But you'll notice he didn't say here am I send me.

God said I'll send you. And Moses said well I'll go. That's what Isaiah said. You know Isaiah saw all those things and God said who will go for us. And Isaiah said here am I Lord send me. Well Moses began to look around see who God could send.

And that's why you and I knew pastor says we need someone to teach Sunday school. I can't do it. I tell you what I believe what John can do it. Well would you mind praying about it and saying I believe you could do it.

Oh no. I can't do it. Well would you come sing choir. I can't do this. Now we always look with somebody else. That's exactly what Moses did. We are perfect pictures of him. Ladies and gentlemen tonight.

Perfect pictures. You know that there's something every Christian can do. Every Christian has a task in the kingdom of God. Everybody don't tell me you can't do it. You do whatever you set your mind to.

You can do in the will of God whatever you set your mind to. And if you search it out you'll find that God has something specific that you can do that nobody can do it just like you. The reason we don't do it we lazy we'll get somebody else to.

There are million one excuses. You watch Moses argue with God. Now he gave God for four objections and we'll get them. Now there have been 80 years of preparation. Moses has been preparing a you and I don't have that.
