wondering<00:14:31.539><c> whether</c><00:14:32.100><c> all</c><00:14:32.500><c> this</c><00:14:32.659><c> has</c><00:14:32.759><c> just</c><00:14:32.960><c> been</c><00:14:33.139><c> a</c><00:14:33.320><c> dream.</c>

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:36.240
I<00:14:33.639><c> mean,</c><00:14:33.960><c> seven</c><00:14:34.159><c> women</c><00:14:34.419><c> coming</c><00:14:34.759><c> and</c><00:14:35.259><c> then</c><00:14:35.460><c> seven</c><00:14:35.679><c> women</c><00:14:35.919><c> going.</c>

00:14:36.340 --> 00:14:40.139
Maybe<00:14:36.580><c> this</c><00:14:36.759><c> has</c><00:14:36.899><c> all</c><00:14:37.019><c> just</c><00:14:37.220><c> been</c><00:14:37.379><c> a</c><00:14:37.559><c> dream,</c><00:14:38.500><c> just</c><00:14:38.899><c> a</c><00:14:39.379><c> mirage.</c>

00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:45.600
And<00:14:41.240><c> so</c><00:14:41.460><c> they</c><00:14:41.679><c> plead</c><00:14:42.000><c> with</c><00:14:42.179><c> him</c><00:14:42.340><c> to</c><00:14:42.559><c> return</c><00:14:42.960><c> home</c><00:14:43.500><c> to</c><00:14:44.460><c> meet</c><00:14:44.679><c> daddy.</c>

00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.259
So<00:14:47.519><c> Moses</c><00:14:47.759><c> is</c><00:14:48.019><c> overwhelmed</c><00:14:48.440><c> by</c><00:14:48.639><c> the</c><00:14:48.840><c> invitation.</c>

00:14:49.500 --> 00:14:53.519
He<00:14:49.700><c> graciously</c><00:14:50.159><c> accepts,</c><00:14:50.519><c> I</c><00:14:50.659><c> mean,</c><00:14:51.039><c> you</c><00:14:51.200><c> know,</c><00:14:51.919><c> going</c><00:14:52.080><c> home</c><00:14:52.360><c> to</c><00:14:52.500><c> meet</c><00:14:52.659><c> daddy,</c><00:14:53.360><c> a</c>

00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:54.379
hot<00:14:53.659><c> meal</c><00:14:53.899><c> tonight.</c>

00:14:54.779 --> 00:14:59.279
Seven<00:14:55.019><c> women</c><00:14:56.419><c> sleeping</c><00:14:57.139><c> on</c><00:14:57.460><c> the</c><00:14:57.600><c> cold</c><00:14:57.720><c> desert</c><00:14:57.980><c> floor</c><00:14:58.220><c> any</c><00:14:58.440><c> day.</c>

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:04.379
So<00:14:59.700><c> over</c><00:15:00.559><c> a</c><00:15:00.679><c> period</c><00:15:00.840><c> of</c><00:15:01.100><c> time,</c><00:15:02.220><c> he</c><00:15:02.419><c> is</c><00:15:03.000><c> taken</c><00:15:03.279><c> in</c><00:15:03.580><c> by</c><00:15:03.820><c> Jethro</c>

00:15:04.379 --> 00:15:05.919
and<00:15:04.899><c> his</c><00:15:05.419><c> family.</c>

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.320
And<00:15:06.879><c> there's</c><00:15:07.659><c> a</c><00:15:07.799><c> little</c><00:15:07.940><c> romance</c><00:15:08.259><c> that</c><00:15:08.539><c> begins</c><00:15:08.740><c> to</c><00:15:09.059><c> develop</c>

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:11.039
between<00:15:09.899><c> Moses</c><00:15:10.299><c> and</c><00:15:10.720><c> Zipporah.</c>

00:15:11.100 --> 00:15:14.480
Now<00:15:11.200><c> we</c><00:15:11.279><c> are</c><00:15:11.440><c> not</c><00:15:11.639><c> told</c><00:15:12.139><c> whether</c><00:15:12.440><c> Zipporah</c><00:15:13.259><c> is</c><00:15:13.600><c> the</c><00:15:14.120><c> youngest,</c>

00:15:14.580 --> 00:15:15.679
the<00:15:14.799><c> middle,</c><00:15:15.019><c> or</c><00:15:15.159><c> the</c><00:15:15.399><c> eldest.</c>

00:15:16.019 --> 00:15:19.799
But<00:15:16.200><c> we</c><00:15:16.360><c> did</c><00:15:16.559><c> find</c><00:15:16.779><c> in</c><00:15:16.940><c> yesterday's</c><00:15:17.919><c> study</c><00:15:17.919><c> that</c><00:15:18.320><c> it</c><00:15:18.500><c> was</c><00:15:18.759><c> customary</c><00:15:19.419><c> for</c>

00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:23.620
the<00:15:20.100><c> eldest</c><00:15:20.360><c> one</c><00:15:20.840><c> to</c><00:15:21.159><c> be</c><00:15:21.340><c> given</c><00:15:21.720><c> in</c><00:15:22.200><c> marriage</c><00:15:22.600><c> first.</c>

00:15:24.179 --> 00:15:27.740
And<00:15:24.340><c> so</c><00:15:24.460><c> we</c><00:15:24.600><c> read</c><00:15:24.720><c> in</c><00:15:24.879><c> verse</c><00:15:25.039><c> 21</c><00:15:25.500><c> that</c><00:15:25.860><c> Moses</c><00:15:26.259><c> was</c><00:15:26.539><c> content</c><00:15:27.220><c> to</c>

00:15:27.740 --> 00:15:28.679
dwell<00:15:28.019><c> with</c><00:15:28.259><c> the</c><00:15:28.399><c> man.</c>

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.259
And<00:15:29.379><c> if</c><00:15:29.500><c> it</c><00:15:29.620><c> had</c><00:15:29.659><c> been</c><00:15:29.820><c> you</c><00:15:30.000><c> and</c><00:15:30.200><c> me,</c><00:15:30.399><c> I</c><00:15:30.539><c> guess</c><00:15:30.720><c> we</c><00:15:30.899><c> would</c><00:15:31.039><c> also</c>

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:33.019
be<00:15:31.440><c> very</c><00:15:31.779><c> content</c><00:15:32.259><c> to</c><00:15:32.500><c> dwell</c><00:15:32.700><c> there.</c>

00:15:33.019 --> 00:15:37.080
And<00:15:33.659><c> he</c><00:15:33.799><c> gave</c><00:15:34.159><c> Moses</c><00:15:34.639><c> Zipporah</c><00:15:35.580><c> his</c><00:15:35.980><c> daughter.</c>

00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:39.000
And<00:15:37.460><c> so</c><00:15:37.620><c> they</c><00:15:37.759><c> get</c><00:15:38.000><c> married.</c>

00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.440
Now<00:15:40.820><c> we</c><00:15:40.879><c> need</c><00:15:41.080><c> to</c><00:15:41.220><c> understand</c><00:15:41.539><c> that</c><00:15:41.779><c> Zipporah</c><00:15:42.059><c> is</c><00:15:42.240><c> a</c><00:15:42.340><c> Midianite.</c>

00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.480
And<00:15:44.080><c> the</c><00:15:44.500><c> Midianites</c><00:15:45.039><c> were</c><00:15:45.320><c> basically</c><00:15:45.799><c> Kushites.</c><00:15:46.259><c> They</c><00:15:46.519><c> were</c><00:15:46.860><c> Ethiopians.</c>

00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:49.980
They<00:15:47.639><c> were</c><00:15:47.799><c> as</c><00:15:47.980><c> black</c><00:15:48.159><c> as</c><00:15:48.360><c> the</c><00:15:48.500><c> ace</c><00:15:48.700><c> of</c><00:15:48.919><c> spades,</c><00:15:49.259><c> as</c><00:15:49.480><c> black</c><00:15:49.759><c> as</c>

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:51.320
the<00:15:50.139><c> tens</c><00:15:50.320><c> of</c><00:15:50.519><c> Midian.</c>

00:15:51.480 --> 00:15:55.460
And<00:15:51.679><c> this</c><00:15:51.840><c> would</c><00:15:52.019><c> explain</c><00:15:52.519><c> why</c><00:15:52.820><c> we</c><00:15:53.080><c> have</c><00:15:53.220><c> this</c><00:15:53.840><c> drama</c><00:15:54.340><c> that</c><00:15:54.559><c> unfolds</c><00:15:55.120><c> later</c><00:15:55.320><c> on</c>

00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:57.419
in<00:15:55.679><c> the</c><00:15:55.799><c> text</c><00:15:55.960><c> when</c><00:15:56.080><c> we</c><00:15:56.240><c> come</c><00:15:56.399><c> to</c><00:15:56.519><c> Numbers</c><00:15:56.799><c> chapter</c><00:15:57.059><c> 12.</c>

00:15:57.419 --> 00:16:02.220
You<00:15:57.559><c> remember</c><00:15:58.159><c> when</c><00:15:58.720><c> Aaron</c><00:15:59.080><c> and</c><00:15:59.659><c> Miriam</c><00:16:00.080><c> have</c><00:16:00.320><c> this</c><00:16:00.539><c> big</c><00:16:01.340><c> altercation</c><00:16:02.000><c> with</c>

00:16:02.220 --> 00:16:04.539
Moses<00:16:02.559><c> about</c><00:16:02.820><c> the</c><00:16:03.000><c> fact</c><00:16:03.120><c> that</c><00:16:03.259><c> he</c><00:16:03.399><c> had</c><00:16:03.440><c> taken</c><00:16:03.620><c> a</c><00:16:03.820><c> Kushite.</c>

00:16:04.940 --> 00:16:07.620
He<00:16:05.139><c> never</c><00:16:05.240><c> took</c><00:16:05.419><c> another</c><00:16:05.700><c> wife.</c><00:16:06.159><c> It's</c><00:16:06.379><c> the</c><00:16:06.539><c> same</c><00:16:06.779><c> wife.</c>

00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:10.320
But<00:16:08.039><c> we'll</c><00:16:08.200><c> develop</c><00:16:08.519><c> that</c><00:16:08.779><c> story</c><00:16:09.039><c> a</c><00:16:09.200><c> little</c><00:16:09.340><c> later.</c>

00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:14.840
Now<00:16:10.639><c> Zipporah</c><00:16:11.899><c> ironically</c><00:16:12.480><c> means</c><00:16:13.120><c> a</c><00:16:13.899><c> sparrow.</c>

00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.860
That's<00:16:15.679><c> her</c><00:16:15.860><c> name.</c><00:16:16.779><c> A</c><00:16:17.039><c> bird</c><00:16:17.340><c> but</c><00:16:17.860><c> a</c><00:16:18.240><c> sparrow.</c>

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.960
And<00:16:19.440><c> perhaps</c><00:16:20.159><c> her</c><00:16:20.460><c> character</c><00:16:21.000><c> was</c><00:16:21.860><c> reflected</c><00:16:22.340><c> in</c><00:16:22.539><c> her</c><00:16:22.759><c> name.</c>

00:16:22.980 --> 00:16:25.200
Maybe<00:16:23.460><c> she</c><00:16:23.759><c> was</c><00:16:24.639><c> flighting.</c>

00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.399
Maybe<00:16:25.960><c> she</c><00:16:26.179><c> was</c><00:16:26.679><c> free.</c><00:16:27.440><c> Maybe</c><00:16:27.659><c> she</c><00:16:27.899><c> was</c><00:16:28.460><c> swift.</c>

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.700
Maybe<00:16:29.940><c> she</c><00:16:30.159><c> was</c><00:16:30.639><c> delicate.</c>

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:34.480
But<00:16:32.639><c> just</c><00:16:32.840><c> catch</c><00:16:33.080><c> that</c><00:16:33.279><c> little</c><00:16:33.480><c> echo</c><00:16:33.740><c> in</c><00:16:33.919><c> the</c><00:16:34.000><c> New</c><00:16:34.159><c> Testament.</c>

00:16:34.779 --> 00:16:41.799
Not<00:16:34.799><c> one</c><00:16:36.120><c> sparrow</c><00:16:37.460><c> falls</c><00:16:38.019><c> to</c><00:16:38.259><c> the</c><00:16:38.419><c> ground</c><00:16:38.820><c> without</c><00:16:39.279><c> your</c><00:16:39.659><c> father</c><00:16:40.220><c> knowing</c><00:16:40.580><c> it.</c>

00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:43.500
She's<00:16:42.460><c> a</c><00:16:42.580><c> survivor.</c>

00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:49.320
Now<00:16:44.639><c> she's</c><00:16:44.940><c> a</c><00:16:45.039><c> Midianite.</c><00:16:45.659><c> Now</c><00:16:45.899><c> the</c><00:16:46.059><c> word</c><00:16:46.259><c> Midian</c><00:16:46.759><c> means</c><00:16:47.639><c> strife.</c>

00:16:49.539 --> 00:16:52.340
Now<00:16:49.759><c> I</c><00:16:49.779><c> don't</c><00:16:50.059><c> know</c><00:16:50.279><c> whether</c><00:16:51.000><c> she</c><00:16:51.539><c> was</c><00:16:51.740><c> a</c><00:16:51.820><c> mixture</c><00:16:51.980><c> of</c><00:16:52.159><c> these</c>

00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:05.099
Midian<00:17:01.620><c> was</c><00:17:02.620><c> a</c><00:17:03.220><c> place</c><00:17:03.480><c> of</c><00:17:04.000><c> strife.</c>

00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:08.680
We'll<00:17:05.720><c> remember</c><00:17:06.440><c> well</c><00:17:06.960><c> that</c><00:17:07.380><c> it</c><00:17:07.660><c> was</c><00:17:07.839><c> the</c><00:17:08.019><c> Midianites</c><00:17:08.440><c> that</c>

00:22:28.500 --> 00:22:31.299

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.960
The<00:22:32.599><c> first</c><00:22:32.819><c> commandment</c><00:22:33.220><c> was</c><00:22:33.380><c> the</c><00:22:33.539><c> commandment</c><00:22:33.859><c> of</c><00:22:33.980><c> the</c><00:22:34.140><c> firstborn,</c><00:22:34.799><c> and</c>

the<00:22:35.140><c> second</c><00:22:35.319><c> was</c><00:22:35.500><c> that</c><00:22:35.660><c> of</c><00:22:35.960><c> circumcision.</c>

00:22:36.759 --> 00:22:38.319
And<00:22:36.940><c> you'll</c><00:22:37.119><c> pick</c><00:22:37.220><c> it</c><00:22:37.359><c> up</c><00:22:37.460><c> in</c><00:22:37.619><c> verse</c><00:22:37.819><c> 24.</c>

00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.220
And<00:22:38.680><c> it</c><00:22:38.759><c> came</c><00:22:38.940><c> to</c><00:22:39.200><c> pass,</c><00:22:40.160><c> by</c><00:22:40.579><c> the</c><00:22:40.799><c> way</c><00:22:40.960><c> in</c><00:22:41.140><c> the</c><00:22:41.339><c> inn,</c><00:22:41.799><c> that</c><00:22:42.019><c> the</c>

Lord<00:22:42.460><c> met</c><00:22:42.740><c> him</c><00:22:42.980><c> and</c><00:22:43.180><c> sought</c><00:22:43.440><c> to</c><00:22:43.740><c> kill</c><00:22:43.900><c> him.</c>

00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.980
Then<00:22:45.779><c> Zipporah</c><00:22:46.299><c> took</c><00:22:46.519><c> a</c><00:22:46.819><c> sharp</c><00:22:47.019><c> stone,</c><00:22:47.819><c> and</c><00:22:48.019><c> cut</c><00:22:48.140><c> off</c><00:22:48.319><c> the</c><00:22:48.539><c> foreskin</c><00:22:48.819><c> of</c>

her<00:22:49.220><c> son,</c>

00:22:50.019 --> 00:22:53.099
and<00:22:50.220><c> cast</c><00:22:50.480><c> it</c><00:22:50.579><c> at</c><00:22:50.700><c> his</c><00:22:50.960><c> feet,</c><00:22:51.200><c> and</c><00:22:51.319><c> said,</c><00:22:52.160><c> Surely</c><00:22:52.519><c> a</c><00:22:52.819><c> bloody</c>

00:22:53.099 --> 00:22:54.720

00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:57.480
So<00:22:56.039><c> he</c><00:22:56.140><c> let</c><00:22:56.299><c> him</c><00:22:56.500><c> go.</c>

00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.099
Then<00:22:58.220><c> she</c><00:22:58.480><c> said,</c><00:22:59.220><c> A</c><00:22:59.400><c> bloody</c><00:22:59.660><c> husband</c><00:23:00.079><c> thou</c><00:23:00.299><c> art,</c><00:23:01.299><c> because</c><00:23:01.799><c> of</c>

00:23:02.099 --> 00:23:03.619
the<00:23:02.359><c> circumcision.</c>

00:23:04.859 --> 00:23:09.000
So<00:23:05.380><c> there</c><00:23:05.539><c> are</c><00:23:05.640><c> a</c><00:23:05.680><c> number</c><00:23:05.839><c> of</c><00:23:06.039><c> points</c><00:23:06.279><c> to</c><00:23:06.539><c> notice</c><00:23:06.920><c> in</c><00:23:07.740><c> these</c><00:23:07.980><c> verses.</c>

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:13.079
The<00:23:09.519><c> Lord</c><00:23:09.759><c> was</c><00:23:10.000><c> so</c><00:23:10.420><c> angry</c><00:23:10.759><c> with</c><00:23:11.059><c> Moses</c><00:23:11.559><c> that</c><00:23:12.279><c> he</c><00:23:12.460><c> wanted</c><00:23:12.720><c> to</c>

00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:13.960
kill<00:23:13.240><c> him.</c>

00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:16.000
And<00:23:14.640><c> the</c><00:23:14.740><c> question</c><00:23:15.000><c> is</c><00:23:15.200><c> obviously</c><00:23:15.500><c> why.</c>

00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:17.920
And<00:23:16.519><c> Zipporah</c><00:23:16.880><c> gives</c><00:23:17.059><c> us</c><00:23:17.279><c> the</c><00:23:17.440><c> answer.</c>

00:23:18.180 --> 00:23:21.259
And<00:23:18.359><c> that</c><00:23:18.500><c> is</c><00:23:18.740><c> because</c><00:23:19.279><c> of</c><00:23:19.799><c> the</c><00:23:20.039><c> circumcision.</c>

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:26.700
Now<00:23:23.500><c> we</c><00:23:23.839><c> need</c><00:23:24.019><c> to</c><00:23:24.200><c> remember</c><00:23:24.460><c> that</c><00:23:25.099><c> Moses</c><00:23:25.579><c> was</c><00:23:25.980><c> circumcised.</c>

00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.900
He<00:23:27.640><c> spent</c><00:23:27.920><c> three</c><00:23:28.619><c> months</c><00:23:29.259><c> in</c><00:23:30.359><c> the</c><00:23:30.880><c> home</c><00:23:31.180><c> of</c><00:23:31.500><c> his</c><00:23:32.319><c> mother</c><00:23:32.599><c> and</c>

00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:35.460
That's<00:23:34.920><c> where</c><00:23:35.039><c> he</c><00:23:35.220><c> was.</c>

00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:37.799
He<00:23:35.819><c> was</c><00:23:36.099><c> circumcised</c><00:23:36.660><c> at</c><00:23:36.980><c> eight</c><00:23:37.359><c> days.</c>

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:40.980
And<00:23:38.220><c> when</c><00:23:38.440><c> he</c><00:23:38.640><c> was</c><00:23:38.819><c> put</c><00:23:39.039><c> finally</c><00:23:39.400><c> into</c><00:23:39.640><c> that</c><00:23:39.859><c> little</c><00:23:40.420><c> ark</c><00:23:40.680><c> and</c>

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:41.680

00:23:41.700 --> 00:23:44.519

00:23:44.519 --> 00:23:45.319

00:23:45.819 --> 00:23:49.400
How<00:23:46.000><c> do</c><00:23:46.119><c> they</c><00:23:46.220><c> know</c><00:23:46.319><c> he</c><00:23:46.460><c> was</c><00:23:46.619><c> a</c><00:23:46.740><c> Hebrew</c><00:23:46.960><c> child</c><00:23:47.319><c> if</c><00:23:47.640><c> he</c><00:23:47.900><c> wasn't</c><00:23:48.079><c> circumcised?</c>

00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.819
So<00:23:50.440><c> Moses</c><00:23:50.720><c> was</c><00:23:51.000><c> circumcised.</c>

00:23:51.819 --> 00:23:58.180
And<00:23:52.559><c> here</c><00:23:52.700><c> we</c><00:23:52.940><c> find</c><00:23:53.799><c> Moses</c><00:23:54.519><c> going</c><00:23:54.839><c> back</c><00:23:55.200><c> to</c><00:23:55.619><c> redeem</c><00:23:56.460><c> God's</c><00:23:57.440><c> people</c><00:23:57.839><c> who</c>

00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.759

Verse<00:37:44.820><c> 27,</c><00:37:45.340><c> and</c><00:37:45.920><c> Moses</c><00:37:46.539><c> let</c><00:37:47.219><c> his</c><00:37:47.659><c> father</c><00:37:48.119><c>-in</c><00:37:48.380><c>-law</c><00:37:49.019><c> depart.</c>

00:37:50.619 --> 00:37:55.679
This<00:37:50.760><c> is</c><00:37:50.940><c> right</c><00:37:51.440><c> after</c><00:37:51.800><c> this</c><00:37:52.360><c> incredible</c><00:37:53.340><c> lesson</c><00:37:54.159><c> on</c><00:37:54.599><c> management,</c>

00:37:55.699 --> 00:38:00.780
right<00:37:55.900><c> at</c><00:37:56.099><c> the</c><00:37:56.179><c> end</c><00:37:56.320><c> of</c><00:37:56.559><c> this</c><00:37:57.320><c> very</c><00:37:58.659><c> beautiful</c><00:37:59.420><c> part</c><00:37:59.679><c> of</c><00:37:59.840><c> Scripture.</c>

00:38:00.940 --> 00:38:04.219
Moses<00:38:01.460><c> let</c><00:38:01.719><c> his</c><00:38:02.159><c> father</c><00:38:02.559><c>-in</c><00:38:02.860><c>-law</c><00:38:03.000><c> depart,</c>

00:38:04.519 --> 00:38:10.440
and<00:38:04.820><c> he,</c><00:38:06.260><c> singular,</c><00:38:07.480><c> by</c><00:38:07.760><c> himself,</c><00:38:08.900><c> without</c><00:38:09.219><c> Zipporah</c><00:38:10.019><c> and</c>

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:11.179
the<00:38:10.619><c> two</c><00:38:10.800><c> boys.</c>

00:38:11.179 --> 00:38:17.760
He<00:38:12.119><c> went</c><00:38:13.179><c> his</c><00:38:13.960><c> way</c><00:38:14.719><c> into</c><00:38:15.639><c> his</c><00:38:16.539><c> own</c><00:38:17.420><c> land.</c>

00:38:18.019 --> 00:38:19.360
Mark<00:38:18.059><c> those</c><00:38:18.340><c> words.</c>

00:38:21.599 --> 00:38:26.179
So<00:38:22.360><c> we</c><00:38:22.579><c> are</c><00:38:23.039><c> told</c><00:38:23.500><c> that</c><00:38:23.880><c> Jethro</c><00:38:24.380><c> left</c><00:38:24.860><c> alone.</c>

00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:30.699
We<00:38:28.059><c> can</c><00:38:28.340><c> therefore</c><00:38:28.780><c> safely</c><00:38:29.119><c> presume</c><00:38:29.539><c> that</c><00:38:29.960><c> Zipporah</c><00:38:30.360><c> and</c><00:38:30.539><c> the</c>

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:31.360
two<00:38:30.860><c> boys</c>

00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:35.079
were<00:38:32.139><c> left</c><00:38:32.480><c> in</c><00:38:32.739><c> the</c><00:38:32.900><c> safe</c><00:38:33.099><c> care</c><00:38:33.659><c> of</c><00:38:34.059><c> Moses.</c>

00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:38.260
And<00:38:35.980><c> so</c><00:38:36.159><c> I</c><00:38:36.239><c> believe</c><00:38:36.420><c> that</c><00:38:36.639><c> the</c><00:38:36.820><c> story</c><00:38:37.000><c> does</c><00:38:37.280><c> have</c><00:38:37.500><c> a</c><00:38:37.679><c> happy</c><00:38:37.900><c> ending,</c>

00:38:38.260 --> 00:38:41.639
and<00:38:39.480><c> here's</c><00:38:39.880><c> my</c><00:38:40.079><c> happy</c><00:38:40.460><c> suggestion.</c>

00:38:43.619 --> 00:38:48.039
In<00:38:44.260><c> Egypt,</c><00:38:45.059><c> Moses'</c><00:38:45.420><c> marriage</c><00:38:45.780><c> to</c><00:38:46.000><c> Zipporah</c><00:38:46.340><c> was</c><00:38:46.639><c> overburdened</c><00:38:47.340><c> and</c><00:38:47.559><c> overshadowed</c>

00:38:48.039 --> 00:38:50.199
by<00:38:48.199><c> the</c><00:38:48.460><c> responsibility</c><00:38:49.019><c> which</c><00:38:49.320><c> he</c><00:38:49.460><c> was</c><00:38:49.679><c> to</c><00:38:49.920><c> bear</c>

00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:53.739
when<00:38:50.840><c> he</c><00:38:51.320><c> led</c><00:38:51.480><c> the</c><00:38:51.739><c> children</c><00:38:51.900><c> of</c><00:38:52.059><c> Israel</c><00:38:52.380><c> from</c><00:38:52.739><c> slavery.</c>

00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.539
The<00:38:54.219><c> marriage</c><00:38:54.519><c> was</c><00:38:54.760><c> at</c><00:38:55.019><c> breaking</c><00:38:55.300><c> point.</c>

00:38:58.000 --> 00:39:02.400
Moses<00:38:58.400><c> then</c><00:38:58.820><c> sends</c><00:38:59.579><c> Zipporah</c><00:39:00.159><c> and</c><00:39:00.320><c> the</c><00:39:00.440><c> two</c><00:39:00.599><c> boys</c><00:39:00.880><c> back</c><00:39:01.340><c> to</c><00:39:01.579><c> daddy,</c>

00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:06.800
because<00:39:03.619><c> he</c><00:39:03.820><c> cannot</c><00:39:04.179><c> deal</c><00:39:04.559><c> with</c><00:39:04.760><c> the</c><00:39:04.980><c> two</c><00:39:05.679><c> situations</c><00:39:06.360><c> at</c><00:39:06.659><c> the</c>

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:08.159
same<00:39:07.019><c> time.</c>

00:39:08.420 --> 00:39:11.719
When<00:39:08.699><c> she</c><00:39:08.880><c> gets</c><00:39:09.159><c> home,</c><00:39:09.480><c> she</c><00:39:09.780><c> explains</c><00:39:10.260><c> the</c><00:39:10.480><c> problem</c><00:39:10.719><c> to</c><00:39:11.039><c> dad,</c>

00:39:12.260 --> 00:39:16.199
and<00:39:12.539><c> they</c><00:39:12.820><c> would</c><00:39:13.039><c> have</c><00:39:13.280><c> sat</c><00:39:14.000><c> many</c><00:39:14.400><c> nights</c><00:39:14.980><c> around</c><00:39:15.599><c> the</c><00:39:15.840><c> fire</c>

00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:18.760

00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.679

00:39:21.679 --> 00:39:23.780
and<00:39:21.920><c> the</c><00:39:22.159><c> responsibility</c><00:39:22.639><c> that</c><00:39:22.880><c> God</c><00:39:23.019><c> had</c><00:39:23.300><c> placed</c><00:39:23.500><c> upon</c>

00:39:23.780 --> 00:39:25.420
Moses'<00:39:24.360><c> shoulder.</c>

00:39:27.380 --> 00:39:29.079
Jethro,<00:39:27.579><c> being</c><00:39:27.820><c> a</c><00:39:27.880><c> very</c><00:39:28.260><c> organized</c><00:39:28.619><c> individual,</c>

00:39:29.079 --> 00:39:33.539
he's<00:39:29.500><c> the</c><00:39:29.820><c> priest</c><00:39:30.300><c> of</c><00:39:30.579><c> Midian,</c>

00:39:33.559 --> 00:39:35.980
wants<00:39:33.639><c> the</c><00:39:33.940><c> relationship</c><00:39:34.420><c> to</c><00:39:34.780><c> work</c><00:39:35.000><c> out.</c>

00:39:36.420 --> 00:39:38.940
He's<00:39:36.800><c> already</c><00:39:37.099><c> got</c><00:39:37.340><c> a</c><00:39:37.619><c> plan</c><00:39:37.920><c> in</c><00:39:38.360><c> his</c><00:39:38.659><c> mind.</c>

00:39:38.980 --> 00:39:42.599
So<00:39:39.179><c> when</c><00:39:39.340><c> he</c><00:39:39.519><c> goes</c><00:39:39.739><c> out</c><00:39:39.980><c> to</c><00:39:40.179><c> meet</c><00:39:40.380><c> Moses,</c><00:39:40.940><c> he</c><00:39:41.139><c> knows</c><00:39:41.380><c> what</c><00:39:41.599><c> Moses'</c><00:39:42.000><c> problem</c><00:39:42.320><c> is.</c>

00:39:42.780 --> 00:39:45.500

00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:11.739
