SOH Lesson 14 and 15

Lesson 14:
To free the Israelites, God sent a series of plagues upon Egypt, including the death of the firstborn in every family, but God protected those who appropriately expressed faith in Him.

The Plagues and Passover- Exodus12:1-13, 21-23
a. To demonstrate His power over the false gods of Egypt and to convince Pharaoh to release the Israelites, God imposed a series of dreadful plagues upon Egypt. The tenth and final plague in that series involved the death of firstborn children and animals.
b. Read Exodus 12:1-13, 21-23.
-What were the required characteristics of the animal to be sacrificed? See verse 5.
-What were the Israelites supposed to do with the blood of this animal? See verses 7 and 22.
-What sign would cause God to pass over a home without executing the plague of death? See verses 12-13, 23.
-God established a memorial to remind the Israelites of this deliverance from death. What was this memorial to be called? See verse 27.

Lesson 15:
Then Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt as God parted the waters of the Red Sea, preparing their way toward the promised land of Canaan.
