Numbers 9:18

For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments. His commandments are not grievous.

Therefore, as for you, let that remain in you which you heard from the beginning. If that which you heard from the beginning remains in you, you also will remain in the Son, and in the Father.

But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

If you love me, keep my commandments.

If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and remain in his love.

But God’s love has most certainly been perfected in whoever keeps his word. This is how we know that we are in him:

You are my friends, if you do whatever I command you.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

He turned the sea into dry land. They went through the river on foot. There, we rejoiced in him.

He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes. You will keep my ordinances and do them.

One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”

Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

The sons of Israel did so. Joseph gave them wagons, according to the commandment of Pharaoh, and gave them provision for the way.

God spoke to Moses, and said to him, “I am Yahweh.

All the congregation of the children of Israel traveled from the wilderness of Sin, starting according to Yahweh’s commandment, and encamped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink.

Then Amalek came and fought with Israel in Rephidim.

Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

Sometimes the cloud was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.

At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh’s command, at the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

They first went forward according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.

They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are among this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

Moses wrote the starting points of their journeys by the commandment of Yahweh. These are their journeys according to their starting points.

They traveled from before Hahiroth, and crossed through the middle of the sea into the wilderness. They went three days’ journey in the wilderness of Etham, and encamped in Marah.

They traveled from Elim, and encamped by the Red Sea.

“Yahweh our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, ‘You have lived long enough at this mountain.

who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.

You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and awesome God.

For Yahweh your God dried up the waters of the Jordan from before you until you had crossed over, as Yahweh your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up from before us, until we had crossed over,

So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched for seven days along a circuitous route. There was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.

yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness. The pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither did the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

He received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision, that he might be the father of all those who believe, though they might be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might also be accounted to them.

for if God didn’t spare the natural branches, neither will he spare you.

For I don’t desire you to be ignorant, brothers, of this mystery, so that you won’t be wise in your own conceits, that a partial hardening has happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in,

Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.

But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring and heirs according to promise.

But we don’t want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don’t grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.

This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
