A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Exodus 1

1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

The King James Version

Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem




Our Father in Heaven
Blessed Are You,
Oh LORD,
Our God,
King of the Universe,
Ancient of Days,
El Shaddai,
The All-Sufficient One!


I call upon You, LORD, in my distress,

And You Answer me, and set me in a large place.

The LORD is on my side;

I will not fear:

what can man do unto me?

It is better to trust in the LORD

than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the LORD

than to put confidence in princes.

Let all that has been Concealed
Be Revealed.

Father, We Pray For The Peace Of Jerusalem,
According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

This we Pray Together,
As We Await Your Messiah,
Blessed Be He,
To Set Up His Kingdom,
And Make All Things Right.



”The Greatest Of these Is Love.”

If you would like to be on or off the Daily Ping List, please let me know.

A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Exodus 1

1 Now these are the names of the children of Israel, which came into Egypt; every man and his household came with Jacob. 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah,

3 Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin,

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher.

5 And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt already.

6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.

7 And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them.

8 Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

9 And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we:

10 Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

11 Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

12 But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.

13 And the Egyptians made the children of Israel to serve with rigour:

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage, in morter, and in brick, and in all manner of service in the field: all their service, wherein they made them serve, was with rigour.

15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one was Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah:

16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him: but if it be a daughter, then she shall live.

17 But the midwives feared God, and did not as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the men children alive.

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and have saved the men children alive?

19 And the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives come in unto them.

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives: and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty.

21 And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.

22 And Pharaoh charged all his people, saying, Every son that is born ye shall cast into the river, and every daughter ye shall save alive.

Today we embark upon the study of one of the most complex and prominent "Personalities" in the Bible, Moses. He was a man of incredible range and contrasts, and it will be a long study. Although Charlton Heston portrayed Moses masterfully in The Ten Commandments, he barely scratched the surface of Moses's Personality. But first, I would like to share a story that I've related before on this thread, in praise of some other "heroes", both in The Time of the Exodus, and in our own Twentieth Century.

Mary was a midwife and "nursing sister" during The Blitz. Although she was not in London, her home town of Liverpool was a big industrial center and shipping port. And so, the Nazis bombed her city nearly as mercilessly as they did London.

Because petrol was stricty rationed to "Doctors Only", Mary made her rounds on a bicycle, dodging piles of burning rubble and delivering babies in bombed-out buildings. Nothing could stop her, and she was a bit of a local hero, just doing her job.

Mary was happily married and had two sons, Paul and Michael. However, when Paul was 14, Mary lost a valiant battle with breast cancer and died on 10/31/56.

Paul was so devastated that he cried himself to sleep every night, praying that she would "come back". Paul's Dad, who was a musician, bought his son a guitar to help him through his grief.

Years later, Paul pursued a successful career in music. But, along with fame and fortune came terrible temptations, drugs, chaos, and possibly an early death. One night, Paul's mother Mary came back to him in a dream and advised him to let all those things go. Paul wrote a song about it. It was called "Let It Be". And so, Mary the Midwife will be remembered forever.

In the first chapter of Exodus, we read of a Pharaoh who "did not remember Joseph". Somehow, in the intervening years since Joseph had saved Egypt from Famine and Death, his name had been forgotten. Perhaps the Royal House, embarrassed that a foreigner had saved the country, had all the monuments to Joseph erased. Maybe they co-opted Joseph and made him "Egyptian" to cover up that fact that he had been a Hebrew. Maybe they preserved his memory as "Imhotep" rather than Joseph. For whatever reason, the newest King saw the fertile, prosperous Hebrews as a real threat to his kingdom.

He enslaved them, thinking that would keep them in check, but they kept multiplying. And so, Pharaoh embarked upon the first recorded instance of Government-Sponsered Genocide. His tactic was to kill all the Hebrew male babies at birth.

Two courageous midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, continued to assist the Hebrew women at the birthing stool, and helped hide the male babies. When called to task by Pharaoh for disobeying his order, they made up a phony excuse about the babies being born before they arrived at the scene. These women risked death and torture to do the Right Thing.

Like Paul's mother Mary, the names of Shiphrah and Puah have been enshrined forever in a work of art. Everybody knows the song "Let it Be", and I use it to teach piano. I always tell my students the story of Mary McCartney, riding her bicycle through bombed-out streets, to bring new life into the world.

Shiphrah and Puah are enshrined forever in The Holy Bible, Exodus, Chapter One. And guess what...we don't even KNOW what Pharaoh's name was.


Tomorrow, we will read about a brave woman who kept her baby undetected for three months, and managed to elude Pharaoh's agents, Maybe Shiphrah and Puah were in on the rescue as well. That woman was Moses's Mom, named Jochabed. She must have had quite a Powerful Personality to have been able to manage this.

Her name, like Shiphrah's and Puah's names, have also been preserved for over 3000 years.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

Amen to your prayer and great story. I always thought Mother Mary in that song was about Catholics Mary worship, awesome story, I hope Paul figures it out.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.

I thin “Frozen”’s song—let it go, took from “Let it be.”

Many people interpret the song that way.

However, Paul himself told the story in an interview, which my Mom saw, and shared with me.

That's possible. However "Let It Go" is about being yourself and doing your own thing, even if it hurts people (Elsa's Ice Power was Deadly). "Let It Be", on the other hand, is about accepting things that happen, leaving temptations behind, and seeking wisdom from a higher power than ourselves. (Just My Opinion).
