00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.199
These<00:02:34.139><c> are</c><00:02:34.439><c> that</c><00:02:34.759><c> Moses</c><00:02:35.379><c> and</c><00:02:36.199><c> Aaron.</c>

00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:39.919
It<00:02:37.840><c> was</c><00:02:38.060><c> a</c><00:02:38.319><c> joint</c><00:02:38.740><c> work.</c>

00:02:39.939 --> 00:02:45.379
It<00:02:40.419><c> was</c><00:02:40.639><c> a</c><00:02:40.719><c> work</c><00:02:40.960><c> that</c><00:02:41.180><c> they</c><00:02:41.319><c> did</c><00:02:41.719><c> together,</c><00:02:44.199><c> partly</c><00:02:44.639><c> perhaps</c>

00:02:45.379 --> 00:02:49.240
because<00:02:45.960><c> Moses</c><00:02:46.479><c> was</c><00:02:47.659><c> fearful</c><00:02:48.300><c> and</c><00:02:48.719><c> unwilling</c>

00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.620
Their<00:03:12.620><c> names</c><00:03:12.960><c> are</c><00:03:13.300><c> coupled</c><00:03:13.680><c> together</c><00:03:14.439><c> in</c><00:03:15.199><c> the</c><00:03:15.699><c> business</c><00:03:16.259><c> of</c>

00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:21.939

00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:25.100
God<00:06:21.019><c> led</c><00:06:21.459><c> his</c><00:06:21.740><c> people</c><00:06:21.980><c> Israel</c><00:06:22.459><c> not</c><00:06:22.839><c> just</c><00:06:23.259><c> by</c><00:06:23.480><c> the</c><00:06:23.579><c> hand</c><00:06:23.779><c> of</c><00:06:23.959><c> Moses,</c><00:06:24.759><c> which</c><00:06:24.939><c> is</c>

00:06:25.100 --> 00:06:26.040
what<00:06:25.220><c> we</c><00:06:25.399><c> normally</c><00:06:25.720><c> think</c>

00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.079
of,<00:06:26.300><c> I</c><00:06:26.300><c> think,</c><00:06:26.600><c> isn't</c><00:06:26.819><c> it?</c>

00:06:27.300 --> 00:06:29.740
But<00:06:27.480><c> by</c><00:06:27.740><c> the</c><00:06:27.860><c> hand</c><00:06:28.079><c> of</c><00:06:28.220><c> Moses</c><00:06:28.540><c> and</c><00:06:28.839><c> Aaron.</c>

00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:33.040
And<00:06:30.319><c> what</c><00:06:30.439><c> makes</c><00:06:30.699><c> this</c><00:06:31.060><c> verse</c><00:06:31.259><c> particularly</c><00:06:32.040><c> beautiful</c><00:06:32.600><c> to</c>

00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:35.920
my<00:06:33.300><c> mind</c><00:06:33.620><c> is</c><00:06:34.079><c> the</c><00:06:34.259><c> fact</c><00:06:34.500><c> that</c><00:06:34.839><c> he</c><00:06:35.079><c> led</c><00:06:35.339><c> them</c><00:06:35.579><c> like</c>

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:37.300
a<00:06:36.319><c> flock.</c>

00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:40.540
Now<00:06:37.720><c> you</c><00:06:37.899><c> know</c><00:06:38.459><c> that</c><00:06:38.699><c> in</c><00:06:38.819><c> the</c><00:06:39.019><c> East,</c><00:06:39.819><c> the</c><00:06:39.899><c> shepherd</c><00:06:40.220><c> doesn't</c>

00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:44.100
chase<00:06:41.120><c> the</c><00:06:41.420><c> sheep,</c><00:06:42.019><c> he</c><00:06:42.220><c> goes</c><00:06:42.560><c> before</c><00:06:43.160><c> them.</c>

00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:46.699
So<00:06:44.600><c> this</c><00:06:44.839><c> verse</c><00:06:45.139><c> is</c><00:06:45.360><c> telling</c><00:06:45.600><c> us,</c><00:06:46.060><c> brothers</c><00:06:46.139><c> and</c><00:06:46.379><c> sisters,</c>

00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:48.839
that<00:06:47.259><c> Moses</c><00:06:47.579><c> and</c><00:06:47.939><c> Aaron</c><00:06:48.160><c> were</c><00:06:48.420><c> the</c><00:06:48.540><c> first</c>

00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.040
two<00:06:49.279><c> to</c><00:06:49.560><c> step</c><00:06:50.000><c> into</c><00:06:50.759><c> the</c><00:06:50.860><c> Red</c><00:06:51.199><c> Sea.</c>

00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:54.779
That's<00:06:53.399><c> rather</c><00:06:53.800><c> lovely,</c><00:06:54.480><c> isn't</c><00:06:54.639><c> it?</c>

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:57.319
They<00:06:54.980><c> weren't</c><00:06:55.339><c> standing</c><00:06:55.779><c> on</c><00:06:56.019><c> the</c><00:06:56.199><c> brink</c><00:06:56.399><c> saying,</c><00:06:57.000><c> come</c><00:06:57.139><c> on,</c>

00:06:57.439 --> 00:06:59.639
fellas,<00:06:57.860><c> along</c><00:06:58.079><c> you</c><00:06:58.339><c> go,</c><00:06:58.720><c> you</c><00:06:58.899><c> know.</c>

00:06:59.660 --> 00:07:01.240
They<00:06:59.939><c> stepped</c><00:07:00.339><c> in</c><00:07:00.740><c> first.</c>

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:03.060
Such<00:07:01.720><c> was</c><00:07:02.060><c> their</c><00:07:02.480><c> faith.</c>

00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:05.639
They<00:07:03.980><c> led</c><00:07:04.379><c> the</c><00:07:04.699><c> nation.</c>

00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:10.939
They<00:07:06.160><c> led</c><00:07:06.439><c> it</c><00:07:06.639><c> not</c><00:07:06.800><c> only</c><00:07:07.279><c> by</c><00:07:07.839><c> walking</c><00:07:08.600><c> out</c><00:07:09.060><c> in</c><00:07:09.379><c> front,</c><00:07:10.220><c> they</c><00:07:10.399><c> led</c><00:07:10.660><c> it</c>

00:07:10.939 --> 00:07:14.279
by<00:07:11.300><c> their</c><00:07:11.759><c> example</c><00:07:12.639><c> of</c><00:07:13.259><c> courage</c><00:07:13.779><c> and</c>

00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:14.839
of<00:07:14.579><c> faith.</c>

00:07:15.100 --> 00:07:19.199
And<00:07:15.279><c> Moses</c><00:07:15.519><c> and</c><00:07:15.860><c> Aaron</c><00:07:16.019><c> were</c><00:07:16.339><c> together</c><00:07:17.240><c> in</c><00:07:17.920><c> this</c><00:07:18.240><c> matter.</c>

00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.519
Now<00:07:20.319><c> I've</c><00:07:20.600><c> labored</c><00:07:20.819><c> that</c><00:07:21.040><c> point,</c><00:07:21.279><c> and</c><00:07:21.439><c> I've</c><00:07:21.600><c> labored</c><00:07:21.819><c> it</c><00:07:22.079><c> deliberately,</c><00:07:24.000><c> because</c><00:07:24.959><c> despite</c><00:07:25.920><c> the</c><00:07:26.220><c> fact</c>

00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:30.120
that<00:07:26.899><c> Scripture</c><00:07:27.319><c> places</c><00:07:27.839><c> that</c><00:07:28.339><c> sort</c><00:07:28.600><c> of</c><00:07:28.839><c> emphasis</c><00:07:29.300><c> on</c><00:07:29.839><c> their</c>

00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.100
joint<00:07:30.439><c> leadership,</c><00:07:31.000><c> on</c><00:07:31.220><c> Moses</c><00:07:31.600><c> and</c><00:07:31.860><c> Aaron</c>

00:07:32.100 --> 00:07:34.839
together,<00:07:32.939><c> the</c><00:07:33.040><c> fact</c><00:07:33.339><c> is,</c><00:07:33.600><c> brothers</c><00:07:33.879><c> and</c><00:07:34.100><c> sisters,</c><00:07:34.480><c> that</c><00:07:34.660><c> so</c>

00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.240
far<00:07:35.180><c> as</c><00:07:35.379><c> I</c><00:07:35.480><c> can</c><00:07:35.860><c> see,</c><00:07:36.519><c> and</c><00:07:36.540><c> by</c><00:07:36.800><c> all</c><00:07:37.019><c> means</c>

00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:44.939
try<00:07:37.560><c> and</c><00:07:37.779><c> prove</c><00:07:37.980><c> me</c><00:07:38.339><c> wrong,</c><00:07:39.120><c> God</c><00:07:39.459><c> never</c><00:07:40.319><c> speaks</c><00:07:41.040><c> to</c><00:07:41.420><c> Aaron</c><00:07:41.819><c> alone</c><00:07:42.720><c> in</c><00:07:43.379><c> commandment.</c>

00:07:45.459 --> 00:07:47.939
God<00:07:45.839><c> speaks</c><00:07:46.220><c> to</c><00:07:46.379><c> Moses</c><00:07:46.720><c> and</c><00:07:47.019><c> Aaron.</c>

00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.300
And<00:07:48.660><c> the</c><00:07:48.720><c> Lord</c><00:07:49.019><c> commanded</c><00:07:49.579><c> Moses</c><00:07:50.000><c> and</c><00:07:50.279><c> Aaron.</c>

00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.759
And<00:07:52.019><c> God</c><00:07:52.220><c> speaks</c><00:07:52.519><c> to</c><00:07:52.720><c> Moses</c><00:07:53.079><c> on</c><00:07:53.279><c> his</c><00:07:53.579><c> own.</c>

00:07:55.019 --> 00:08:02.540
So<00:07:55.759><c> far</c><00:07:56.079><c> as</c><00:07:56.300><c> I</c><00:07:56.339><c> can</c><00:07:56.620><c> see,</c><00:07:57.319><c> God</c><00:07:57.319><c> never</c><00:07:58.060><c> speaks</c><00:07:58.519><c> to</c><00:07:58.860><c> Aaron</c><00:07:59.160><c> in</c><00:07:59.500><c> commandment</c><00:08:00.980><c> by</c><00:08:01.259><c> himself.</c>

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:06.660
So<00:08:04.540><c> that's</c><00:08:04.740><c> interesting,</c><00:08:05.459><c> isn't</c><00:08:05.660><c> it,</c><00:08:05.819><c> that</c><00:08:06.079><c> they're</c><00:08:06.259><c> joint</c>

00:08:06.660 --> 00:08:10.879

always<00:08:11.720><c> to</c><00:08:12.040><c> Moses</c><00:08:12.560><c> and</c><00:08:12.899><c> often</c><00:08:13.360><c> to</c><00:08:13.579><c> Moses</c><00:08:14.019><c> alone,</c><00:08:14.920><c> and</c><00:08:15.079><c> sometimes</c><00:08:15.779><c> to</c><00:08:15.980><c> Moses</c><00:08:16.360><c> and</c>

00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:18.339
Aaron,<00:08:17.660><c> but</c><00:08:17.920><c> never</c>

00:08:18.339 --> 00:08:20.980
to<00:08:18.680><c> Aaron</c><00:08:19.160><c> on</c><00:08:19.699><c> his</c><00:08:20.060><c> own.</c>

00:08:22.300 --> 00:08:26.560
Well,<00:08:22.980><c> would</c><00:08:23.100><c> you</c><00:08:23.259><c> come</c><00:08:23.620><c> next,</c><00:08:24.160><c> please,</c><00:08:24.319><c> to</c><00:08:24.459><c> Exodus</c><00:08:24.800><c> chapter</c><00:08:25.240><c> 24.</c>

00:08:28.540 --> 00:08:31.819
We<00:08:28.680><c> want</c><00:08:28.899><c> to</c><00:08:29.079><c> consider</c><00:08:29.500><c> now,</c><00:08:29.819><c> as</c><00:08:29.980><c> we</c><00:08:30.259><c> said,</c><00:08:30.860><c> the</c><00:08:31.079><c> incident</c><00:08:31.560><c> of</c>

00:08:31.819 --> 00:08:33.639
the<00:08:31.959><c> golden</c><00:08:32.559><c> calf.</c>

00:08:35.289 --> 00:08:39.440
And<00:08:35.620><c> we</c><00:08:35.820><c> have</c><00:08:36.019><c> reached</c><00:08:36.460><c> a</c><00:08:36.879><c> point</c><00:08:37.340><c> in</c><00:08:37.980><c> the</c><00:08:38.220><c> journeys</c><00:08:38.580><c> of</c><00:08:38.840><c> the</c><00:08:39.000><c> children</c><00:08:39.200><c> of</c>

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.080
Israel<00:08:39.940><c> where</c><00:08:40.740><c> Moses</c><00:08:41.320><c> has</c>

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:47.059
ascended<00:08:42.639><c> the</c><00:08:42.940><c> mount</c><00:08:43.259><c> to</c><00:08:43.799><c> receive</c><00:08:44.700><c> the</c><00:08:45.240><c> Ten</c><00:08:45.580><c> Commandments.</c>

00:08:47.009 --> 00:08:50.559
And<00:08:47.440><c> Aaron</c><00:08:47.879><c> is</c><00:08:48.639><c> left</c><00:08:48.940><c> in</c><00:08:49.299><c> charge.</c>

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.700
Their<00:08:51.720><c> joint</c><00:08:52.220><c> leadership</c><00:08:52.820><c> has</c><00:08:53.139><c> been</c><00:08:53.519><c> split</c><00:08:53.840><c> up</c><00:08:54.320><c> for</c><00:08:54.519><c> the</c><00:08:54.700><c> moment.</c>

00:08:57.740 --> 00:09:03.320
We<00:08:57.860><c> should</c><00:08:58.139><c> bear</c><00:08:58.340><c> in</c><00:08:58.580><c> mind</c><00:08:58.879><c> that</c><00:08:59.179><c> although</c><00:09:00.759><c> Exodus</c><00:09:01.379><c> 28</c><00:09:02.299><c> is</c><00:09:02.639><c> where</c><00:09:02.960><c> God</c>

00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:05.720
says<00:09:03.659><c> to</c><00:09:03.879><c> Moses,</c><00:09:05.120><c> take</c><00:09:05.120><c> Aaron</c>

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:12.080
and<00:09:06.139><c> his</c><00:09:06.480><c> sons</c><00:09:07.139><c> for</c><00:09:07.720><c> the</c><00:09:08.080><c> ministry</c><00:09:08.659><c> of</c><00:09:08.940><c> the</c><00:09:09.139><c> tabernacle,</c><00:09:11.059><c> Exodus</c><00:09:11.399><c> 32</c>

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:15.019
actually<00:09:12.580><c> takes</c><00:09:12.899><c> place</c><00:09:13.559><c> before</c><00:09:14.600><c> that</c>

00:09:15.019 --> 00:09:16.200
happens.

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.879
The<00:09:16.399><c> words</c><00:09:16.659><c> are</c><00:09:16.899><c> spoken</c><00:09:17.279><c> in</c><00:09:17.460><c> Exodus</c><00:09:17.820><c> 28</c><00:09:18.419><c> to</c><00:09:18.779><c> Moses</c><00:09:19.259><c> in</c><00:09:19.659><c> the</c><00:09:19.860><c> mount.</c>

00:09:21.899 --> 00:09:24.879
In<00:09:22.019><c> Exodus</c><00:09:22.340><c> 32,</c><00:09:22.960><c> of</c><00:09:22.960><c> course,</c><00:09:23.519><c> Moses</c><00:09:23.700><c> has</c><00:09:23.960><c> not</c><00:09:24.139><c> returned</c><00:09:24.620><c> from</c>

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:25.899
the<00:09:25.059><c> mount.</c>

00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:30.639
So<00:09:27.019><c> Aaron</c><00:09:27.179><c> has</c><00:09:27.460><c> not</c><00:09:27.759><c> actually</c><00:09:28.259><c> been</c><00:09:28.879><c> formally</c><00:09:29.460><c> appointed</c><00:09:30.240><c> as</c>

00:09:34.259 --> 00:09:37.019
And<00:09:34.379><c> we're</c><00:09:34.600><c> actually,</c><00:09:35.460><c> historically,</c><00:09:36.200><c> turning</c><00:09:36.559><c> the</c><00:09:36.820><c> clock</c>

00:09:49.419 --> 00:09:56.000
Exodus<00:09:49.559><c> 32</c><00:09:50.159><c> turns</c><00:09:50.879><c> the</c><00:09:51.120><c> clock</c><00:09:51.360><c> back</c><00:09:52.039><c> a</c><00:09:52.279><c> little,</c><00:09:54.340><c> and</c><00:09:54.419><c> Aaron</c><00:09:54.879><c> here</c><00:09:55.539><c> is</c>

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:57.379
joint<00:09:56.320><c> leader.</c>

00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:02.919
He<00:09:58.220><c> is</c><00:09:58.580><c> perhaps</c><00:10:00.000><c> priest,</c><00:10:00.600><c> high</c><00:10:00.899><c> priest</c><00:10:01.220><c> elect,</c><00:10:02.320><c> because</c><00:10:02.700><c> as</c>

00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:05.460
we<00:10:03.080><c> saw</c><00:10:03.259><c> last</c><00:10:03.580><c> evening,</c><00:10:03.919><c> God</c><00:10:04.139><c> spoke</c><00:10:04.440><c> to</c><00:10:04.600><c> him</c><00:10:04.740><c> in</c>

00:10:05.889 --> 00:10:09.419
But<00:10:06.220><c> he's</c><00:10:06.419><c> not</c><00:10:06.679><c> actually</c><00:10:07.019><c> taken</c><00:10:07.320><c> up</c><00:10:07.600><c> his</c><00:10:07.860><c> priestly</c><00:10:08.179><c> role</c><00:10:08.779><c> or</c>

00:10:09.419 --> 00:10:11.120
his<00:10:09.620><c> priestly</c><00:10:09.960><c> duties.</c>

00:10:13.419 --> 00:10:16.820
Now,<00:10:13.779><c> just</c><00:10:13.919><c> have</c><00:10:14.259><c> a</c><00:10:14.299><c> look</c><00:10:14.519><c> at</c><00:10:14.720><c> Exodus</c><00:10:14.960><c> 24</c><00:10:15.779><c> before</c><00:10:16.259><c> we</c><00:10:16.419><c> go</c><00:10:16.659><c> to</c>

00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:20.360
chapter<00:10:17.159><c> 32,</c><00:10:18.200><c> because</c><00:10:18.860><c> here</c><00:10:19.639><c> it's</c><00:10:20.059><c> clear</c>

00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:24.480
in<00:10:20.620><c> verse</c><00:10:20.980><c> 14</c><00:10:21.740><c> that</c><00:10:22.259><c> Aaron</c><00:10:22.600><c> was</c><00:10:22.899><c> not</c><00:10:23.259><c> actually</c><00:10:23.659><c> left</c><00:10:24.000><c> alone,</c>

00:10:24.500 --> 00:10:26.500
even<00:10:24.759><c> though</c><00:10:25.019><c> Moses</c><00:10:25.379><c> was</c><00:10:25.580><c> not</c><00:10:25.799><c> with</c><00:10:26.039><c> him.</c>

00:10:26.500 --> 00:10:29.480
Exodus<00:10:27.080><c> 24</c><00:10:27.799><c> and</c><00:10:28.039><c> verse</c><00:10:28.340><c> 14,</c>

00:10:51.340 --> 00:10:53.080
That's<00:10:51.840><c> interesting,</c><00:10:52.299><c> isn't</c><00:10:52.519><c> it?</c>

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:59.559
So<00:10:53.539><c> there</c><00:10:53.720><c> was</c><00:10:54.059><c> Aaron</c><00:10:54.379><c> and</c><00:10:54.919><c> her,</c><00:10:57.179><c> one</c><00:10:57.500><c> from</c><00:10:57.740><c> the</c><00:10:57.919><c> tribe</c><00:10:58.100><c> of</c><00:10:58.299><c> Levi</c><00:10:58.679><c> and</c>

00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:01.600
one<00:10:59.919><c> from</c><00:11:00.139><c> the</c><00:11:00.320><c> tribe</c><00:11:00.559><c> of</c><00:11:00.759><c> Judah.</c>

00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.399
But<00:11:02.179><c> there's</c><00:11:02.399><c> no</c><00:11:02.600><c> mention</c><00:11:03.100><c> of</c><00:11:03.379><c> her</c><00:11:03.759><c> in</c><00:11:04.080><c> the</c><00:11:04.259><c> record</c><00:11:04.620><c> after</c><00:11:05.179><c> this.</c>

00:11:06.940 --> 00:11:10.480
The<00:11:07.059><c> people</c><00:11:07.240><c> didn't</c><00:11:07.480><c> come</c><00:11:07.740><c> to</c><00:11:07.940><c> her</c><00:11:08.460><c> and</c><00:11:08.820><c> ask</c><00:11:09.080><c> to</c><00:11:09.299><c> make</c><00:11:09.460><c> a</c><00:11:09.639><c> golden</c><00:11:09.960><c> calf.</c>

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.580
They<00:11:11.320><c> came</c><00:11:11.539><c> to</c><00:11:11.740><c> Aaron</c><00:11:12.100><c> for</c><00:11:12.320><c> that</c><00:11:12.559><c> purpose.</c>

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.240
And<00:11:14.580><c> you</c><00:11:14.679><c> might</c><00:11:14.899><c> want</c><00:11:15.100><c> to</c><00:11:15.240><c> ask</c><00:11:15.440><c> yourself,</c><00:11:16.179><c> why</c><00:11:16.559><c> is</c><00:11:16.820><c> that</c><00:11:17.039><c> the</c><00:11:17.259><c> case?</c>

00:11:19.059 --> 00:11:22.700
Was<00:11:19.539><c> her</c><00:11:20.019><c> a</c><00:11:20.399><c> stronger</c><00:11:20.840><c> man,</c><00:11:21.820><c> perhaps?</c>

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:27.559
Did<00:11:23.360><c> the</c><00:11:23.559><c> people</c><00:11:24.120><c> regard</c><00:11:24.759><c> Aaron</c><00:11:25.259><c> as</c><00:11:26.159><c> a</c><00:11:26.360><c> pushover?</c>

00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.460
He<00:11:28.159><c> was</c><00:11:28.379><c> the</c><00:11:28.539><c> man</c><00:11:28.759><c> to</c><00:11:29.059><c> approach</c><00:11:29.600><c> in</c><00:11:30.639><c> order</c><00:11:30.899><c> for</c><00:11:31.000><c> them</c><00:11:31.179><c> to</c><00:11:31.360><c> get</c>

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:33.220
their<00:11:31.720><c> own</c><00:11:32.000><c> way.</c>

00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.759
We<00:11:34.159><c> can't</c><00:11:34.379><c> be</c><00:11:34.700><c> certain</c><00:11:34.879><c> about</c><00:11:35.240><c> that,</c><00:11:35.460><c> but</c><00:11:35.639><c> it's</c><00:11:36.299><c> one</c><00:11:36.679><c> possibility,</c><00:11:37.500><c> isn't</c><00:11:37.659><c> it?</c>

00:11:37.779 --> 00:11:38.580
There<00:11:37.940><c> may</c><00:11:38.100><c> be</c><00:11:38.299><c> others.</c>

00:11:38.700 --> 00:11:40.899
You<00:11:38.820><c> might</c><00:11:39.039><c> be</c><00:11:39.159><c> able</c><00:11:39.320><c> to</c><00:11:39.440><c> think</c><00:11:39.559><c> of</c><00:11:39.740><c> other</c><00:11:39.879><c> reasons</c><00:11:40.360><c> why</c><00:11:40.759><c> they</c>

00:11:40.899 --> 00:11:42.799
didn't<00:11:41.139><c> come</c><00:11:41.399><c> to</c><00:11:41.539><c> her,</c><00:11:42.159><c> why</c><00:11:42.340><c> they</c><00:11:42.559><c> came</c>

00:11:42.799 --> 00:11:43.679
to<00:11:42.980><c> Aaron</c><00:11:43.240><c> instead.</c>

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.659
But<00:11:43.860><c> that's</c><00:11:44.200><c> one</c><00:11:44.559><c> possibility,</c><00:11:45.700><c> that</c><00:11:45.980><c> Aaron</c><00:11:46.259><c> was</c><00:11:46.899><c> a</c><00:11:47.139><c> pushover.</c>

00:11:47.860 --> 00:11:51.840
They<00:11:47.879><c> regarded</c><00:11:48.419><c> him</c><00:11:48.639><c> as</c><00:11:48.840><c> the</c><00:11:49.039><c> weaker</c><00:11:49.480><c> of</c><00:11:50.000><c> the</c><00:11:50.159><c> two</c><00:11:50.440><c> men.</c>

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:24.480
You<00:18:20.940><c> didn't</c><00:18:21.220><c> turn</c><00:18:21.559><c> to</c><00:18:21.720><c> it,</c><00:18:21.980><c> but</c><00:18:22.279><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:18:22.839><c> 9</c><00:18:23.200><c> confirms</c><00:18:24.000><c> that.</c>

00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.799
It<00:18:24.660><c> says,</c>

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:31.660
It<00:18:26.920><c> came</c><00:18:27.180><c> to</c><00:18:27.380><c> pass</c><00:18:27.640><c> at</c><00:18:28.019><c> the</c><00:18:28.259><c> end</c><00:18:28.680><c> of</c><00:18:28.900><c> forty</c><00:18:29.140><c> days</c><00:18:29.460><c> and</c><00:18:29.680><c> forty</c><00:18:29.900><c> nights,</c><00:18:30.500><c> that</c><00:18:30.700><c> the</c><00:18:30.859><c> Lord</c><00:18:31.119><c> gave</c><00:18:31.420><c> me</c>

the<00:18:34.980><c> Lord</c><00:18:35.200><c> said</c><00:18:35.380><c> unto</c><00:18:35.599><c> me,</c><00:18:35.880><c> Arise,</c><00:18:36.559><c> get</c><00:18:36.559><c> thee</c>

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:42.960
corrupted<00:18:42.279><c> themselves.</c>

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:44.940
They<00:18:43.380><c> are</c><00:18:43.619><c> quickly</c><00:18:44.119><c> turned</c><00:18:44.480><c> aside.</c>

00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:47.759
Out<00:18:45.180><c> of</c><00:18:45.319><c> the</c><00:18:45.440><c> way</c><00:18:45.660><c> which</c><00:18:45.900><c> I</c><00:18:46.099><c> commanded</c><00:18:46.500><c> them,</c><00:18:47.039><c> they</c><00:18:47.240><c> have</c><00:18:47.480><c> made</c>

00:18:49.460 --> 00:18:55.880
So<00:18:49.819><c> it</c><00:18:49.900><c> was</c><00:18:50.140><c> at</c><00:18:50.339><c> the</c><00:18:50.420><c> end</c><00:18:50.779><c> of</c><00:18:50.960><c> the</c><00:18:51.059><c> forty</c><00:18:51.339><c> days</c><00:18:52.019><c> that</c><00:18:52.519><c> that</c><00:18:52.779><c> happened,</c><00:18:54.700><c> almost</c><00:18:55.359><c> six</c>

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:07.920
Not<00:19:00.119><c> very</c><00:19:00.460><c> surprising</c><00:19:01.019><c> then,</c><00:19:01.299><c> is</c><00:19:01.460><c> it,</c><00:19:01.640><c> that</c><00:19:02.319><c> they</c><00:19:02.440><c> come</c><00:19:02.920><c> to</c><00:19:03.240><c> Aaron</c><00:19:03.680><c> and</c><00:19:05.599><c> request</c><00:19:06.259><c> that</c><00:19:06.680><c> something</c><00:19:07.079><c> be</c><00:19:07.339><c> done.</c>

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:11.240
How<00:19:08.619><c> long</c><00:19:09.059><c> are</c><00:19:09.180><c> they</c><00:19:09.400><c> going</c><00:19:09.599><c> to</c><00:19:09.920><c> stay</c><00:19:10.119><c> here,</c><00:19:10.519><c> encamped</c><00:19:10.940><c> in</c><00:19:11.039><c> the</c>

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:15.599
Somebody<00:19:13.359><c> else</c><00:19:13.779><c> needs</c><00:19:14.099><c> to</c><00:19:14.299><c> be</c><00:19:14.500><c> appointed.</c>

00:19:17.019 --> 00:19:20.400
And<00:19:17.359><c> if</c><00:19:17.519><c> that</c><00:19:17.940><c> was</c><00:19:18.160><c> all</c><00:19:18.519><c> that</c><00:19:18.599><c> they</c><00:19:18.799><c> had</c><00:19:19.059><c> asked,</c><00:19:19.759><c> that</c><00:19:20.019><c> might</c>

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.019
not<00:19:20.660><c> have</c><00:19:20.859><c> been</c><00:19:21.180><c> such</c><00:19:21.559><c> an</c><00:19:21.900><c> unreasonable</c><00:19:22.740><c> request,</c>

00:19:24.380 --> 00:19:26.000
but<00:19:24.720><c> it</c><00:19:24.859><c> was</c><00:19:25.140><c> not.</c>

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:30.359
As<00:19:26.319><c> we</c><00:19:26.599><c> said,</c><00:19:27.119><c> the</c><00:19:27.200><c> people</c><00:19:27.519><c> were</c><00:19:27.940><c> not</c><00:19:28.500><c> spiritually</c><00:19:29.200><c> minded,</c>

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:32.599

00:19:33.819 --> 00:19:37.920
Indeed,<00:19:34.619><c> they</c><00:19:34.640><c> had</c><00:19:35.000><c> totally</c><00:19:35.460><c> turned</c><00:19:35.900><c> away</c><00:19:36.680><c> from</c><00:19:37.259><c> the</c><00:19:37.500><c> things</c>

00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:50.880
Surely<00:19:45.319><c> again,</c><00:19:46.140><c> whilst</c><00:19:46.319><c> we</c><00:19:46.500><c> cannot</c><00:19:46.940><c> excuse</c><00:19:47.900><c> the</c><00:19:48.119><c> actions</c><00:19:48.660><c> that</c><00:19:48.960><c> Aaron</c><00:19:49.380><c> took,</c><00:19:50.680><c> we</c>

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:59.920
How<00:19:55.859><c> would</c><00:19:56.119><c> you</c><00:19:56.339><c> react,</c><00:19:57.220><c> faced</c><00:19:57.400><c> with</c><00:19:57.759><c> a</c><00:19:58.140><c> multitude</c><00:19:58.660><c> of</c><00:19:59.140><c> clamoring</c><00:19:59.660><c> men</c>

00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:00.660
I<00:20:58.359><c> suspect</c><00:20:58.680><c> that's</c><00:20:58.900><c> what</c><00:20:59.140><c> Aaron</c><00:20:59.359><c> does.</c>

00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:06.000

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:11.220
Perhaps<00:21:06.960><c> he</c><00:21:07.140><c> hoped</c><00:21:07.519><c> that</c><00:21:07.720><c> at</c><00:21:07.799><c> any</c><00:21:08.099><c> moment</c><00:21:08.500><c> Moses</c><00:21:08.900><c> might</c><00:21:09.660><c> appear</c><00:21:10.440><c> and</c>

Of<00:21:20.619><c> course,</c><00:21:21.640><c> when</c><00:21:21.740><c> Moses</c><00:21:22.039><c> did</c><00:21:22.400><c> reappear,</c><00:21:24.339><c> he</c><00:21:24.400><c> said</c><00:21:24.680><c> what</c><00:21:24.940><c> Aaron</c><00:21:25.220><c> didn't</c><00:21:25.640><c> say,</c>

00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.500
He<00:21:26.960><c> said</c><00:21:27.119><c> what</c><00:21:27.319><c> Aaron</c><00:21:27.819><c> couldn't</c><00:21:28.200><c> find</c><00:21:28.559><c> it</c><00:21:28.720><c> within</c><00:21:28.940><c> himself</c><00:21:29.380><c> to</c><00:21:29.599><c> say.</c>

00:21:30.539 --> 00:21:33.099
Moses<00:21:30.940><c> strode</c><00:21:31.359><c> down</c><00:21:31.640><c> the</c><00:21:31.779><c> mountain</c><00:21:31.980><c> and</c><00:21:32.160><c> said,</c><00:21:32.539><c> who</c><00:21:32.759><c> is</c><00:21:32.960><c> on</c>

00:21:33.960 --> 00:21:36.500
Why<00:21:34.339><c> didn't</c><00:21:34.740><c> Aaron</c><00:21:35.000><c> say</c><00:21:35.259><c> that?</c>

00:21:37.220 --> 00:21:41.940
Did<00:21:37.380><c> it</c><00:21:37.460><c> never</c><00:21:37.799><c> cross</c><00:21:38.059><c> Aaron's</c><00:21:38.680><c> mind</c><00:21:39.660><c> to</c><00:21:40.839><c> dig</c><00:21:41.079><c> in</c><00:21:41.240><c> his</c><00:21:41.519><c> heels</c>

00:21:47.579 --> 00:21:50.640
Immediately,<00:21:48.279><c> Moses</c><00:21:48.519><c> said</c><00:21:48.880><c> that</c><00:21:49.200><c> all</c><00:21:49.619><c> the</c><00:21:49.779><c> Levites</c><00:21:50.220><c> came</c><00:21:50.460><c> to</c>

00:22:01.579 --> 00:22:04.099
Would<00:22:01.819><c> they</c><00:22:01.960><c> not</c><00:22:02.140><c> have</c><00:22:02.299><c> done</c><00:22:02.440><c> the</c><00:22:02.640><c> same</c><00:22:02.859><c> for</c><00:22:03.140><c> Aaron?</c>

So<00:29:22.319><c> he</c><00:29:22.440><c> would</c><00:29:22.720><c> stifle</c><00:29:23.039><c> his</c><00:29:23.240><c> conscience</c><00:29:23.640><c> initially,</c><00:29:25.200><c> but</c><00:29:25.200><c> then</c>

00:29:55.299 --> 00:29:59.019
But<00:29:55.579><c> I</c><00:29:55.799><c> suspect,</c><00:29:56.440><c> and</c><00:29:56.640><c> I</c><00:29:56.839><c> hope</c><00:29:57.079><c> I'm</c><00:29:57.319><c> not</c><00:29:57.579><c> speaking</c><00:29:58.059><c> entirely</c>

for<00:29:59.279><c> myself</c><00:29:59.779><c> alone,</c><00:30:02.160><c> that's</c><00:30:02.599><c> the</c><00:30:02.740><c> way</c>

00:30:07.940 --> 00:30:13.319
And<00:30:08.700><c> we</c><00:30:08.880><c> can</c><00:30:09.119><c> easily</c><00:30:09.500><c> put</c><00:30:09.819><c> it</c><00:30:10.000><c> aside</c><00:30:10.799><c> and</c><00:30:11.700><c> forget</c><00:30:12.119><c> that</c><00:30:12.440><c> sin</c><00:30:12.640><c> is</c>

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:12.779
You<00:31:08.759><c> remember</c><00:31:09.160><c> how</c><00:31:09.500><c> in</c><00:31:09.700><c> verse</c><00:31:10.079><c> 1,</c><00:31:11.599><c> it</c><00:31:11.720><c> said</c><00:31:11.900><c> that</c><00:31:12.140><c> the</c><00:31:12.220><c> people</c>

00:31:12.779 --> 00:31:16.799

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:25.700
When<00:31:20.839><c> the</c><00:31:21.140><c> people</c><00:31:21.579><c> saw</c><00:31:22.420><c> that</c><00:31:22.819><c> Moses</c><00:31:23.259><c> delayed</c><00:31:23.799><c> to</c><00:31:24.119><c> come</c><00:31:24.460><c> down.</c>

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:33.680
So<00:31:27.920><c> they</c><00:31:28.059><c> were</c><00:31:28.299><c> watching,</c><00:31:30.039><c> they</c><00:31:30.279><c> had</c><00:31:30.480><c> been</c><00:31:30.720><c> looking,</c><00:31:32.059><c> they</c><00:31:32.480><c> saw</c><00:31:33.140><c> that</c><00:31:33.480><c> he</c>

delayed<00:31:33.960><c> to</c><00:31:34.180><c> come</c><00:31:34.420><c> down.</c>

00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:39.180
But<00:31:36.559><c> how</c><00:31:36.799><c> did</c><00:31:36.900><c> they</c><00:31:37.140><c> know</c><00:31:37.440><c> that</c><00:31:37.599><c> there</c><00:31:37.819><c> was</c><00:31:38.019><c> a</c><00:31:38.180><c> delay?</c>

00:31:40.079 --> 00:31:44.420
Clearly,<00:31:40.700><c> they</c><00:31:40.920><c> had</c><00:31:41.180><c> in</c><00:31:41.380><c> their</c><00:31:41.720><c> own</c><00:31:42.019><c> minds</c><00:31:42.680><c> some</c><00:31:43.440><c> estimation</c>

00:31:46.259 --> 00:31:47.240
take.

00:31:50.259 --> 00:31:53.859
He<00:31:50.720><c> actually</c><00:31:51.099><c> didn't</c><00:31:51.380><c> delay</c><00:31:51.660><c> at</c><00:31:51.900><c> all,</c><00:31:52.279><c> did</c><00:31:52.400><c> he?</c>

00:31:54.099 --> 00:31:56.099
Not<00:31:54.359><c> in</c><00:31:54.519><c> God's</c><00:31:54.920><c> purpose.</c>

00:31:56.200 --> 00:31:57.920
There<00:31:56.339><c> was</c><00:31:56.680><c> no</c><00:31:56.940><c> delay.</c>

00:31:58.380 --> 00:32:02.400
The<00:31:58.640><c> delay</c><00:31:59.039><c> was</c><00:31:59.339><c> entirely</c><00:32:00.039><c> in</c><00:32:00.319><c> their</c><00:32:00.779><c> minds.</c>

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:07.180
By<00:32:03.599><c> their</c><00:32:04.200><c> reckoning,</c><00:32:05.420><c> by</c><00:32:05.680><c> the</c><00:32:05.920><c> time</c><00:32:06.180><c> that</c><00:32:06.400><c> they</c><00:32:06.779><c> thought</c><00:32:07.039><c> it</c>

00:32:07.180 --> 00:32:10.880

00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:16.539
Though<00:32:12.039><c> they</c><00:32:12.240><c> watched</c><00:32:12.579><c> for</c><00:32:12.799><c> him</c><00:32:12.900><c> every</c><00:32:13.279><c> day,</c><00:32:14.480><c> he</c><00:32:14.660><c> did</c><00:32:15.000><c> not</c><00:32:15.319><c> appear.</c>

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:34.920
Almost<00:32:31.359><c> as</c><00:32:31.700><c> though</c><00:32:32.019><c> the</c><00:32:32.359><c> calf</c><00:32:32.740><c> is</c><00:32:33.039><c> replacing</c><00:32:33.579><c> Moses.</c>

Almost<00:32:36.640><c> as</c><00:32:37.099><c> though</c><00:32:38.200><c> it</c><00:32:38.900><c> was</c><00:32:39.160><c> as</c><00:32:39.319><c> we</c><00:32:39.660><c> said,</c><00:32:40.160><c> they</c><00:32:40.299><c> were</c><00:32:40.599><c> so</c><00:32:41.579><c> unspiritually</c><00:32:42.900><c> minded</c><00:32:43.680><c> that</c>
