Abram, Sarai and his entire household were forced to leave Egypt, which they did. They then travelled by stages towards Bethel, where they had camped before.

Abram obeyed God immediately.

Moses ended his life with a massive speech, a song and a blessing for each tribe and Israel as a whole. The whole of chapter 33 of Deuteronomy is dedicated to the blessings Moses pronounced.

In Moses’ speech, he reminded the Israelites of several things. And one of the wonderful things he reminded the Israelites of is that God chose them, not because they were wonderful and an impressive nation, but simply because He loved them. Listen to these beautiful couple of verses: “You are a holy people, who belong […]
