Joshua 24:1-25a; Matthew 4:8-10

The people answered Joshua’s challenge: It is the Lord who brought us out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. It is the Lord who did those great signs in our sight, who protected us all along the way. It is the Lord who gave us this land where we now live. Therefore, we will serve the Lord, for the Lord is our God.

Exodus 19:3-7, 20:1-17; Matthew 5:17

The Lord called to Moses from Mount Sinai: Thus shall you tell the Israelites: You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I brought you to myself. Now you shall be my treasured possession out of all the peoples. Yes, the whole earth is mine, says the Lord, but you shall be for me a priestly kingdom and a holy nation.” And so Moses set before the people all the words that the Lord had commanded him.

Exodus 14:5-7, 10-14, 21-30a; Matthew 2:13-15

Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm. And see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today. You need only keep still.”

The Lord was with Joseph, who was a slave in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that Joseph did to prosper.
