I have often thought that reading the Scriptures has a similarity to a jeweller's store with a handful of gems lying on a dark cloth - the gems do not change but each time you look you see a new facet, each with its own beauty. Today I noticed something in verse 19; the two halves of the verse are in contra-chronological order - a western writer would have put the salvation of the Israelites before the destruction of the Egyptians but Jewish historians work from a different perspective. It is useful to remember that when reading other passages of Scripture. Dr Baruch's explanations of that perspective help to add facets to the jewels.

Thank you for being such an amazing man. May the Lord bless you and your ministry.
