Word Study – Another God
Exodus 20:3 “Thou shalt have no other (another) gods before me.” A man came to a rabbi and asked if the rabbi could teach him the deep mysteries of God. The rabbi asked the man a question. Two burglars entered a house through a chimney. Upon emerging from the...
WORD STUDY – CLOUD OF JEHOVAH
Exodus 14:20 “And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel and it was a cloud and darkness to them but it gave light by night to those. So that the one came not near the other all the night.” Many of us as children have watched these...
