Chapter 125: Crossing the Red Sea

On that day, 600,000 Israelites left Egypt under the leadership of Moses and set out on their way to their new homeland.

Moses asked Yang Rui, "We think that the truth of the land is the closest way forward, and it will not be long before it is reached." ”

Yang Rui said: "Don't take this road, you have to follow the wild road of the Red Sea." ”

Moses was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?" ”

"There was war going on in the land of Africa, the Egyptians and Persians were grabbing territory, and I knew that the Israelites would change their minds and return to Egypt when they saw the war," Yang said. ”

Looking at Moses' worried expression, Yang Rui said, "Don't worry, I will guide you during the day, and at night I will illuminate the camp with light so that the Israelites can rest in peace." ”

Moses led the Israelites into the wilderness of the Red Sea as Yang Rui had instructed, but they walked in circles in an endless land under Yang Rui's guidance.

Moses asked, "My lord, what is this doing?" We wasted too much energy, time, and food! ”

Yang Rui said: "Your marching procession is surrounded by Egyptian spies. I did this to convince Pharaoh that you had been lost in the wilderness and that he would shoot his army to stop you. At that time, I will destroy all the Egyptian armies and let everyone know of my existence. ”

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Pharaoh learned that the Israelites were lost in the wilderness. He was overjoyed, and his heart was filled with the flame of revenge.

He gathered all the armies of Egypt, followed in the footsteps of the Israelites, and pursued them violently, and surrounded the Israelites who had traveled long way by the Red Sea.

The Israelites who saw the Egyptian army were so frightened that they knelt on the ground in a circle and prayed, and they were angry with Moses, who only wanted to lead the way.

Someone shouted to Moses, "Is there no land in Egypt where we are buried?" Did you bring us into the wilderness in search of death? Why do you treat us like this? ”

Another shouted: "We said in Egypt, don't disturb our lives, what's wrong with us doing things for the Egyptians?" Because it's ten thousand times better than dying in the wild. ”

Moses stood on the stone and shouted, "Do not be afraid, but stand still, God is with us, and He will help us destroy the armies of Egypt!" You just don't make a sound. ”

Although Moses comforted the restless Israelites, he himself was terrified at the sight of the huge Egyptian army, and he knelt on the ground and prayed: "My lord, what shall I do, if the matter is very critical?" ”

At this time, Yang Rui's voice came to his ears and said, "Why are you pleading with me? ”

Moses said, "We are cornered, with the Red Sea in front and the Egyptian army behind, and we are all dead." ”

Yang Rui said: "I told you a long time ago, you are the one I chose to lead the Israelites out of Egypt, there is nothing you want to do, if you want to go back to Egypt, then immediately turn around and go to the Egyptian army, kneel before Pharaoh and ask for forgiveness, and then continue to do his hard work, and there will be no rest for generations." If you want to go to a new home, go ahead with the boldness! ”

Moses said, "But with the Red Sea ahead and the depths of the depths below, how shall we advance?" ”

Yang Rui said: "Your elbow has performed many miracles, and this time is no exception, stretch out your cane to the sea, and the sea will recede to both sides, revealing dry ground for you to pass!" ”

"But the Egyptians will follow us along this road."

Yang Rui laughed and said, "You just have to go, as for the Egyptian army and their pharaoh, leave it to me to deal with." ”

Moses came to the shore of the Red Sea with a cry and put his staff into the water, and suddenly the sea tossed up, and the water from the front of the staff receded in both directions, forming two curtains of water high up, and then revealing the dry ground at the bottom of the sea.

Moses cried out, "The Israelites come with me, and we go over the sea!" ”

With that, he was the first to go down the coast.

After a brief period of amazement, the Israelites followed Moses on the path to the bottom of the sea, and on either side the curtain of water was so high that it seemed to contain infinite power to protect the Israelites.

When Pharaoh saw this great miracle on his chariot and was filled with despair, he commanded his army to chase after the Israelites along the undersea passage.

At this time, Yang Rui saw that all the Egyptian troops had entered the undersea passage, and with a wave of his hand, the truth became muddy, and the wheels of the chariot were all sunk into the mud. This slowed down the movement of the Egyptian army.

Until the last Israelite went up to the embankment across the Red Sea.

Yang Rui flipped his palm and left, and the two water curtains scattered, drowning all the Egyptian troops in the waves, and in a terrible scream, the Egyptian army was wiped out, while the Israelis were unharmed.

The Israelites on the other side watched the Red Sea littered with Egyptian corpses, shouting for joy, kneeling on the ground and worshiping the gods, as well as their new leader, Moses.

Moses led the Israelites to camp on the shores of the Red Sea for three days, and then continued eastward.

After that, they continued on their way through the wilderness, but all the way they were in the desert hinterland, and they could not see a trace of green, and the water sources they encountered along the way were all bitter water, and they could not drink it at all.

Then there was another complaint in the procession, and Moses was asked, "What shall we drink?" ”

Moses prayed alone and asked Yang Rui, "My master, what should I do?" ”

Yang Rui said: "Pick up a branch and throw it into the water, and the water will become sweet." ”

Moses did so, and sure enough, all the bitter water turned into sweet water.

But as we walked along the way with sweet water, the crowd continued to complain even more intensely, saying, "We are well in Egypt, and though we are tired of work, we are able to eat meat and be satisfied." But now, did Moses bring us into this wilderness so that we would all starve to death? ”

Moses continued to pray and ask Yang Rui, who said, "This wilderness is full of food, and you send these people to gather it, and I will give only one serving a day, which is enough for everyone to be satisfied." On the sixth day I will give two servings, so that the seventh day will rest in peace. ”

Moses asked, "Why is the food distributed in this way?" ”

Yang Rui said: "I want to test whether they respect my law or not. ”

Moses hastened to tell the Israelites about this.

The next day, people began to go out in search of food, and in the desert there were little white round cakes everywhere, and someone asked, "What is this?" ”

Moses said, "This is the food that God has given you." One serving per person per day is sufficient. ”

But some greedy people took some more, and wanted to keep it for the next day, but when the next morning all the food they had seized was moldy and rotten.

When Moses saw this, he asked, "Why don't you listen to me?" ”

Someone replied, "We just want to keep more, because we're afraid we won't have food to find the next day." ”

Moses said, "What God promised us, did you repent of in time?" It is enough to take only one copy of each day, and there will definitely be one more in the second day! ”

On the sixth day, sure enough, on that day all the people were given double portions, and on the seventh day they could no longer go out and rest at home.

However, there were still people who went out to look for food in the early morning of the seventh day, and they were all killed by Yang Rui in the wild. When Moses arrived, he saw Yang Rui standing coldly in the middle of the corpses, so he knelt on the ground and said, "My master, why do you want to kill them?" ”

Yang Rui said, "How long will it be until you do not keep my laws?" As I said, the seventh day is the rest of the day, and I have given you enough food for this day. But these people are still coming out insatiably, so I must cut them off. (To be continued.) )
