Page 33 - 5 The Dedication

8. God commanded that the first-born son

of every household be dedicated again,

and then directed him to go to Pharaoh

and tell him “Let My son go, that he may

serve Me: and if thou refuse to let him go,

behold, I will slay thy son, even thy first-

born” Exodus 4:22, 23.

9. He proudly stated: “Who is the Lord, that

I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I

know not the Lord, neither will I let

Israel go” Exodus 5:2.

10. God commanded Moses saying: “Sanctify

unto Me all the first-born, . . . both of man

and of beast: it is Mine” Exodus 13:2.

11. It was a memorial of the deliverance of

the children of Israel from Egypt, which

prefigured a greater deliverance to be

wrought out by Christ, the only begotten

Son of God.
