Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob. I will remember my covenant with Isaac. I will remember my covenant with Abraham. I will remember what I said to them about the land.

“ I am the Lord your God. I brought you out of Egypt. That is the land where you were slaves.

“ I am sending an angel ahead of you. He will guard you along the way. He will bring you to the place I have prepared.

The Lord appeared to Abram at Shechem. He said,“ I will give this land to your family who comes after you.” So Abram built an altar there to honor the Lord, who had appeared to him.

Stay there for a while. I will be with you and give you my blessing. I will give all these lands to you and your children after you. And I will keep my word that I gave to your father Abraham.I will make your children after you as many as the stars in the sky. And I will give them all these lands. All nations on earth will be blessed because of your children.

The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife. He said,“ You are not able to have children. But you are going to become pregnant. You will have a baby boy.

Has any god ever tried to take one nation out of another to be his own? Has any god done it by testing his people? Has any god done it with signs and amazing deeds or with war? Has any god reached out his mighty hand and powerful arm? Or has any god shown his people his great and wonderful acts? The Lord your God did all those things for you in Egypt. With your very own eyes you saw him do them.

He said,“ I am giving you my word that I will bless you. I will bless you because of what you have done,” announces the Lord.“ You have not held back your son, your only son.So I will certainly bless you. I will make the children born into your family as many as the stars in the sky. I will make them as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. They will take over the cities of their enemies.

Then the Lord showed me Joshua the high priest. He was standing in front of the angel of the Lord. Satan was standing to the right of Joshua.

Isn’t this man Joshua like a burning stick pulled out of the fire?”

She gave a name to the Lord who spoke to her. She called him“ You are the God who sees me.” That’s because she said,“ I have now seen the One who sees me.”

You will soon know that the living God is among you. He will certainly drive out the people now living in the land. He’ll do it to make room for you. He’ll drive out the Canaanites, Hittites, Hivites, Perizzites, Girgashites, Amorites and Jebusites.

So that place was called Bokim. The people offered sacrifices there to the Lord.

He gave them the lands of other nations. He let them take over what others had worked for.He did it so they might obey his rules and follow his laws. Praise the Lord.

The angel of the Lord came. He sat down under an oak tree in Ophrah. The tree belonged to Joash. He was from the family line of Abiezer. Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress at Ophrah. He was the son of Joash. Gideon was threshing in a winepress to hide the wheat from the Midianites.The angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon. He said,“ Mighty warrior, the Lord is with you.”

When they suffered, he suffered with them. He sent his angel to save them. He set them free because he is loving and kind. He lifted them up and carried them. He did it again and again in days long ago.

The Lord replied,“ I will go with you. And I will give you rest.”

The angel of God had been traveling in front of Israel’s army. Now he moved back and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved away from in front of them. Now it stood behind them.

For 40 years you will suffer for your sins. That is one year for each of the 40 days you checked out the land. You will know what it is like to have me against you.’

For the honor of your name, don’t turn your back on us. Don’t bring shame on your glorious throne in the temple. Remember the covenant you made with us. Please don’t break it.

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him from inside a burning bush. Moses saw that the bush was on fire. But it didn’t burn up.So Moses thought,“ I’ll go over and see this strange sight. Why doesn’t the bush burn up?”The Lord saw that Moses had gone over to look. So God spoke to him from inside the bush. He called out,“ Moses! Moses!”“ Here I am,” Moses said.“ Do not come any closer,” God said.“ Take off your sandals. The place you are standing on is holy ground.”He continued,“ I am the God of your father. I am the God of Abraham. I am the God of Isaac. And I am the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard that, he turned his face away. He was afraid to look at God.The Lord said,“ I have seen how my people are suffering in Egypt. I have heard them cry out because of their slave drivers. I am concerned about their suffering.So I have come down to save them from the Egyptians. I will bring them up out of that land. I will bring them into a good land. It has a lot of room. It is a land that has plenty of milk and honey. The Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites live there.

When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him. The man was holding a sword. He was ready for battle. Joshua went up to him. He asked,“ Are you on our side? Or are you on the side of our enemies?”“ I am not on either side,” he replied.“ I have come as the commander of the Lord’ s army.” Then Joshua fell with his face to the ground. He asked the man,“ What message does my Lord have for me?”

The Lord said,“ Could you ever break my covenant with the day? Could you ever break my covenant with the night? Could you ever stop day and night from coming at their appointed times?Only then could my covenant with my servant David be broken. Only then could my covenant with the Levites who serve me as priests be broken. Only then would David no longer have someone from his family line to rule on his throne.

But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven. He said,“ Abraham! Abraham!”“ Here I am,” Abraham replied.“ Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said.“ Do not harm him. Now I know that you would do anything for God. You have not held back from me your son, your only son.”

“ Forty years passed. Then an angel appeared to Moses in the flames of a burning bush. This happened in the desert near Mount Sinai.When Moses saw the bush, he was amazed. He went over for a closer look. There he heard the Lord say,‘ I am the God of your fathers. I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.’( Exodus 3:6) Moses shook with fear. He didn’t dare to look.“ Then the Lord said to him,‘ Take off your sandals. You must do this because the place where you are standing is holy ground.

I will not break my covenant. I will not go back on my word.

He is the Angel who has saved me from all harm. May he bless these boys. May they be called by my name. May they also be called by the names of my grandfather Abraham and my father Isaac. And may the number of them greatly increase on the earth.”

Then he killed the oldest son of every family in Egypt. He struck down the oldest of all their sons.He brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. The Egyptians loaded them down with silver and gold. From among the tribes of Israel no one got tired or fell down.The Egyptians were glad when the people of Israel left. They were terrified because of Israel.

He killed the oldest son of each family in Egypt. He struck down the oldest son in every house in the land of Ham.But he brought his people out like a flock. He led them like sheep through the desert.He guided them safely, and they weren’t afraid. But the Red Sea swallowed up their enemies.

The angel of the Lord found Hagar near a spring of water in the desert. The spring was beside the road to Shur.The angel said,“ Hagar, you are Sarai’s slave. Where have you come from? Where are you going?”“ I’m running away from my owner Sarai,” she answered.Then the angel of the Lord told her,“ Go back to the woman who owns you. Obey her.”The angel continued,“ I will give you and your family many children. There will be more of them than anyone can count.”

Even before Jacob was born, he was holding on to his brother’s heel. When he became a man, he struggled with God.At Peniel he struggled with the angel and won. Jacob wept and begged for his blessing. God also met with him at Bethel. He talked with him there.He is the Lord God who rules over all. His name is the Lord.

The Lord who rules over all says,“ I will send my messenger. He will prepare my way for me. Then suddenly the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant will come. He is the one you long for.”
