The gross out guide

Hebrews and their life style contributed to the world’s civilization greatly. It was, to say the least, tremendous. Mainly recorded in the Old Testament you get to see how the Hebrews lived their lives, and it all started with Abraham leading his family to the promised land of Canaan. Reading through their struggles and their experience of greatness has really opened my eyes. In the past I have learned about Moses, Abraham, Solomon, the Ten Commandments, the Israelites escape from Pharaoh, and in general the many miracles of God himself. So here I was thinking that I knew all about the Hebrew’s story. However, I could not be more wrong. What I already knew just barely skimmed the surface of their actual story. What I read and learned about the Hebrews and their story was way more in depth. The downfalls and rises of their society were truly incredible and it all started with Abraham. Abraham had an extremely good relationship with God; with God’s help he was able to lead his people from the restraints of Ur in Sumer to the promised land of Canaan. Shortly after Pharaoh gained control and enslaved the Hebrews. Then after awhile of slave drivers wearing down the Israelites under heavy loads of unbearable work, God’s attention was directed to Moses. He was to lead his people out of Egypt, across the Red Sea and back to the promised land of Canaan. Taking awhile to realize what God’s plan for him was, Moses just wondered on. The sons of Israel continued to suffer and they cried out to God. He heard them. Eventually Moses wondered to the mountain of God, also known as Horeb and that is when Yahweh showed himself in the shape of a flame. Now, we all know the story about the burning bush that was actually a blaze with fire, yet it was not burning. However, what I did not know was that this event actually marked the fall of the Egyptians. When Moses led his people out of Egypt, through the Red Sea, and back into the Promised Land, they were lead by Yahweh
