+
+MOSES.
+
+
+Moses was born in the year of the world 2433. His parents lived in
+Egypt. Before his birth, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, being fearful of
+their increase, had given orders to have every male infant of the
+Hebrews murdered. The father and mother of Moses were Hebrews, and,
+like other parents, they loved their child too much to have him
+injured. Besides, they thought they saw something very promising in
+his appearance, as if he would make a great and good man, if he were
+rightly trained: they therefore kept him hid three months.
+
+When they could hide him no longer, his mother, Jochebed, made an ark
+or chest of bulrushes, and having pitched it that it might be water
+proof, she put Moses into it, and laid it near the banks of the river
+Nile, and prayed to God for the safety of her child.
+
+He had not lain long in this condition, when Pharaoh's daughter, coming
+to wash, observed the ark, and directed one of her maids to fetch it;
+and opening it, she found the child. She was struck with the beauty of
+the babe, and was affected at its weeping; for the poor child cried,
+being separated from its mother: supposing it to be one of the Hebrews'
+children, the princess resolved to bring it up as a child of her own.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Miriam, the sister of Moses, then about ten or twelve years of age,
+who waited near by, asked Pharaoh's daughter if she might not find a
+nurse for her, and being allowed to do it, she called Jochebed, the
+child's mother. Thus her prayer was answered, and she had the care of
+the child besides.
+
+He was named _Moses_, which signifies being taken out of the water. He
+was educated in all the learning of the Egyptians, and was treated in
+all respects as if he were the son of the princess.
+
+After he became of age, while walking forth one day, he observed with
+indignation the oppression of his brethren; and seeing an Egyptian
+smiting a Hebrew, he became so excited, that he interfered, and killed
+the Egyptian. Fearful of the consequences of this rash act, he fled
+into the land of Midian, where he became a shepherd.
+
+As Moses led his flocks one day near to the north or west side of Mount
+Sinai, the Lord appeared to him in a bush, burning but not consumed.
+Moses was astonished at the sight, and went near to see the miracle.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+And the Lord spoke to him out of the bush, and told him to put off his
+shoes before he came any nearer, as the spot was sacred on account of
+the presence of God. We should never go into the presence of God, or
+engage in his worship, without being solemn and attentive.
+
+God then declared himself to Moses to be the God of Abraham, Isaac,
+and Jacob, and told him that, on account of the promise he had made,
+and in view of what his oppressed people suffered from the cruel
+Egyptians, he now intended to deliver them, and bring them into
+Canaan, and would make Moses the instrument of this.
+
+The Hebrews, at the command of God, and under the direction of Moses,
+left Egypt at last in great haste, and took their journey to the
+south-east. Pharaoh and his people were soon sorry that they had
+consented to let them go, and followed with a great army to bring
+them back, and nearly overtook them on the west side of the Red Sea.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+The Hebrews were now afraid of the Egyptians, and not believing in God
+as they should have done, they exclaimed against Moses for bringing
+them out of Egypt. Moses prayed to the Lord for deliverance. That part
+of the Red Sea where they now were, was not many miles broad. God told
+Moses to stretch his rod over it. He did so, and God caused the waters
+to be separated, so that a passage was made for the Hebrews through
+the sea, and they arrived safe upon the other side.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Pharaoh and the Egyptians, being resolved to overtake the Hebrews, if
+possible, and carry them back to Egypt, pursued after them into the
+passage which the Lord had made for the Hebrews in the sea. But God
+knew how to preserve his people from these wicked and cruel Egyptians.
+He caused them to meet with difficulties in the passage, and made the
+way dark unto them. And when the Hebrews were all over, and the
+Egyptians in the channel, God directed Moses to stretch his rod
+towards the sea; and being moved by a strong wind which the Lord sent,
+the waters of the sea suddenly returned to their former place, and
+drowned the whole of them.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+In order to direct them on their way through the wilderness, God caused
+a pillar of a cloud, or a cloud in the form of a pillar or column,
+extending upwards toward heaven, to hover over the camp or tents of the
+Hebrews. In the day-time it appeared as mist, and protected them from
+the scorching sun. In the night, it seemed a pillar of fire, and gave
+them light. When they encamped, it hovered above them over the
+tabernacle; when they marched, it went before them. Forty years it
+attended them, until they had arrived at the promised land.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+On the east side of the sea, Moses and the men, and Miriam and the
+women of the Hebrews, sung a song of praise to God for their
+miraculous deliverance.--We ought to thank God when he delivers us
+from evil, and be afraid to sin against him as the Egyptians did.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+At Kadesh, the Hebrews murmured because there was no water for them
+and their cattle. And Moses and Aaron his brother looked unto the
+Lord to know what they should do. And he directed Moses unto a rock
+which was there, to smite it with his rod, and it should give forth
+water. And Moses did so, and water came out, and the people drank
+thereof, and their cattle also.
+
+The tabernacle, which was built for the worship of God in the
+wilderness, was finished, and Moses, at the command of God,
+consecrated Aaron and his sons to the office of priests, and dedicated
+the tabernacle with all its vessels. It was the business of the
+priests to take the oversight of the tabernacle and all the furniture;
+they slew, burnt, and poured out the blood of the sacrifices; they put
+the shew-bread on the golden table; they offered the incense; they
+blew the silver trumpets; they supplied with oil, and lighted and
+snuffed the sacred lamps, and took down and set up the tabernacle.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, and other chiefs of the congregation,
+envying the authority of Moses and Aaron, formed a party against them.
+They haughtily upbraided Moses and Aaron as taking too much upon them.
+Moses replied that they were too arrogant to find fault with what God
+had ordered, and that the next day the Lord would show whom he
+allowed to officiate in the high priesthood. He advised Korah with his
+associates to appear with their censers full of incense to stand the
+trial. They did so, and put sacred fire into their censers. God
+ordered Moses and Aaron to separate themselves from them, that he
+might destroy them instantly. They did so; and the Lord caused the
+earth to open and swallow up alive Korah, Dathan, Abiram, and all
+their families. Thus were these wicked men, and those who adhered to
+them, destroyed for their arrogance and impiety.
+
+[Illustration]
+
+In the eleventh month of the fortieth year after the coming out of
+Egypt, Moses made a long discourse to the people, exhorting them to be
+faithful in the service of God, and warning them of the judgments
+which would be sent upon them if they departed from him.
+
+At the beginning of the twelfth month, Moses ascended Mount Nebo,
+where he obtained a view of the land of Canaan. And there Moses the
+servant of the Lord died; and the children of Israel wept for Moses in
+the plain of Moab thirty days.--May we be good and faithful like this
+great man. Then not only our friends, but God will love us, and when
+we die, he will take us home to glory.

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
