shield them from dangers of all kinds, He
not only gave them leader, or manager,
but He also gave them a set of rules and
promised emphatically that if the people
kept those rules no evil should overtake
them, but that every blessing should be
theirs and prosperity should overtake them
on every hand. On the contrary, if they
neglected those rules and became careless
and Indifferent sickness and trouble, oppres-
sion, and suffering would be the result.
These rules were to effect their manner of
life and the articles of food that might be
eaten.

pented of God forgave and brought about
deliverance
