Fruit of the
Promise Land
Numbers
13:23, 27
23 And
they came unto the brook of Esh'-col, and cut down from thence a branch with one
cluster of grapes and they bare it between upon a staff; and they brought of the
pomegranates, and of the figs.
27 And
they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and
surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it.
Food of Egypt
Numbers 11:5, 6
5 We
remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the
melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic:
6 But
now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before
our eyes.
Joseph in Egypt
After Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's
dream, the king exalted him to be Ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Moses
The reason why Moses went up to
the mountain was to receive the tables of stone, which were not only the first
editions, but the original hand-written manuscripts from God's own desk on
Sinai. The Ten Commandments were to become a textbook teaching (Exodus
24:12). In addition to the Ten Commandments,
God provided Moses with blueprints for an unusual house. The
specifications included the materials of it, the men for it and the ministry for
it.
Rameses II
Statue of Rameses
II at the Temple of Luxor. He may have been either the Pharaoh of
oppression, or of the exodus, claiming that he "built Rameses with Asiatic Semitic
(Hebrew) slaves." Rameses II (1304-1238 B.C.E.).
Some scholars believe the Exodus occurred during the reign of this Pharaoh.
Rameses' royal records show that he used slave laborers to build his
grain-storage cities, but other evidence indicates that the Israelites left
before Rameses reign.

Cheops

monuments of ancient times are located near Gizeh, Egypt. The Great
Pyramid, built by Cheops, king of Egypt (2900 B.C.E.), covers 13.1 acres and is

The pyramid was itself part of an elaborate religious ritual complex. The
Sphinx is carved from desert rock. It stretches 189 feet and is 66 feet
