Moreover, he called for 95 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 3: a famine upon the land. He brake the whole staff 96 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 3: of bread. He sent a man before them, even Joseph, 97 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 3: who was sold for a servant, whose feet they hurt 98 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: with fetters.

Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned 105 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: in the land of Ham. And he increased his people 106 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 3: greatly and made them stronger than their enemies. He turned 107 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: their heart to hate his people to deal subtly with 108 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 3: his servants. He sent Moses his servant, and Heiron, whom 109 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: he had chosen. They shewed his signs among them and wonders. 110 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: In the land of Ham, he sent darkness and made 111 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: it dark, and they rebelled not against his word. He 112 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 3: turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. Their 113 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 3: land brought forth frogs in abundance. In chambers of their kings. 114 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 3: He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies and 115 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: lice in all their coasts. He gave them hail for 116 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 3: rain and flaming fire in their land. Smote their vines also, 117 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 3: and their fig trees, and brake the trees of their coasts. 118 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 3: He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that 119 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 3: without number, and did eat all the herbs in their land, 120 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: and devoured the fruit of their ground. He smote also 121 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 3: all the first born in their land, the chief of 122 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: all their strength. He brought them forth also with silver 123 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 3: and gold, and there was not one feeble person among 124 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 3: their tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed, for the 125 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 3: fear of them fell upon them. He spread a cloud 126 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 3: for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. 127 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 3: The people asked, and he brought quails and satisfied them 128 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 3: with the bread of heaven. He opened the rock, and 129 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: the waters gushed out. They ran into the dry places 130 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 3: like a river. For He remembered his holy promise, and 131 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 3: Abraham his servant. And he brought forth his people with joy, 132 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 3: and his chosen with gladness, and gave them the lands 133 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 3: of the heathen. And they inherited the labor of the people, 134 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: that they might observe His statutes and keep his laws. 135 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 3: Praise Ye the Lord. To Night's Palm takes you through 136 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: the many miracles God performed in the lives of those 137 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: who loved him and those who followed him. The Psalmist 138 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 3: brings you back to the land of Canaan, where God 139 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: made his covenant with Abraham, the land of Egypt, where 140 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 3: God's people prospered and suffered, and the land in the 141 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: wilderness where He sustained his people for many years.
