I know we must keep The Ten Commandments in Exodus 20, through Exodus 13, what is done on the wilderness forty years. Have you read that when Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them go the nearest way but difficult way, soon after God led the people go by the roundabout way of the wildness towards the Red Sea and inorder to humble people by hunger, then feeding manna, God disciplines people in order to make people understand to keep the commandments of the Lord, going God way to a good land. Do you think sometimes in our life, God put some test and difficulties to let us face, is for our good, inorder to humble us, let us gain endurance, more wise and understanding, purities our souls prepare for the eternal happiness. This might be only one way not the whole, perhaps. O dear eo_chibears and all dear brothers sisters, I believe ten Commandments we must keep.
-I know that in Exodus many other laws like Justice , Social and Religious laws, many other laws, too, we should keep; but I would like to know more about that.
I read,
**Exodus 13
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was nearer; for God thought, ‘If the people face war, they may change their minds and return to Egypt.’18So God led the people by the roundabout way of the wilderness towards the Red Sea. The Israelites went up out of the land of Egypt prepared for battle.
Deuteronomy 8
A Warning Not to Forget God in Prosperity
This entire commandment that I command you today you must diligently observe, so that you may live and increase, and go in and occupy the land that the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors.2Remember the long way that the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, testing you to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commandments.3He humbled you by letting you hunger, then by feeding you with manna, with which neither you nor your ancestors were acquainted, in order to make you understand that one does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.4The clothes on your back did not wear out and your feet did not swell these forty years.5Know then in your heart that as a parent disciplines a child so the Lord your God disciplines you.6Therefore keep the commandments of the Lord your God, by walking in his ways and by fearing him.7For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up in valleys and hills,8a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey,9a land where you may eat bread without scarcity, where you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron and from whose hills you may mine copper.10You shall eat your fill and bless the Lord your God for the good land that he has given you.**
