in tie first place we will have
to learn that these Things were
written for cur learning. And
when we have once ,ualnod this
fact then we will be abe to see
why those things occurred as
they did SO we will have yea
read this language.
For whatsoever ,hinss were written aforctlmo
We're written fol cur learning, that we through

reader that Cud has said through
Paul that whatsoever things that
were written atore,ime, we're
written for our learning. Then

people IN lhat day and age Of
the world. But for Us also, for

| There is many considerations
in the language we have just
read. The first is that Moses
was the husband of Zipporah,
and they had two sons. The
second one that we shall speak
of is, that God met Moses or
