About this episode
The episode discusses the beginning of the Exodus, focusing on the miracles and teachings of Moses as the Israelites escape from Egypt.
Text: Exodus 14 - 18 Supplemental Text: The Third Thousand Years chapter 13 BYU Lecture 19 summary: Today, there are many inaccurate doctrines taught throughout the church regarding the Law of Moses, the Law of the Covenant and the Carnal Commandments. The restored gospel compels us to teach the correct doctrine as restored by the Lord. When the Israelites were finally released by Pharoah, they were sent out laden with Egyption gold, silver and wealth, just as promised by God. The people are led to the shores of the Red Sea where it appears to Pharoah they were trapped and vulnerable to attack. The Red Sea is miraculously divided and the Israelites escape on dry land, while the avenging Egyption army is drowned. Having been rescued by God, Moses leads the people toward Mount Sinai while teaching the people the gospel of Jesus Christ. During this 2-month trek the people witness the miracles of quail for meat, manna for bread and sweet water springing from rock. The family of Moses arrive from Midian. Jethro teaches Moses the proper priesthood administration over the vast number of Israelites, as commanded by God. This same administrative procedure is used in the church today.
