In The BeginningGen 1:1-5• 1 In the beginning God created the Heaven and the

earth.• 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and

darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

• 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.• 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God

divided the light from the darkness.• 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he

called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Page 3: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Second Day

Gen 1:6-8• 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the

midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

• 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

• 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Page 4: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Third DayGen 1:9-13• 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be

gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Page 5: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Fourth DayGen 1:14-19- And God said, Let there be lights in the

firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Page 6: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Fifth DayGen 1:20-23- And God said, Let the waters bring

forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Page 7: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Sixth DayGen 1:24-31- And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after

his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Page 8: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Exodus 20:11

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

The term for days here is ‘yaamiym’ means a literal 24 hour day.

We cannot arbitrarily assign a definition to a word that it does not have.

Page 9: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Challenges To The Genesis Account• Microevolution- adaptation of a species. This is

not denied. • Macroevolution- changes above the level of

species. For example- change from reptile to canine.

• Atheistic Evolution- From nothing came everything (Big Bang)

• Theistic evolution- God simply wound the clock but did not create everything full-grown with apparent age. Gives rise to The Gap Theory, The Day-Age Theory, Geologic Cylinder Concept (Paleozoic, Mesozoic, etc).

Page 10: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Charles Darwin- Origin of Species

• ‘I am quite conscious that my speculations run quite beyond the bounds of true science.’ Charles Darwin in a Letter to Asa Gray, 18 June [1857]

• DARWIN, in his "Descent of Man", specifically states that man is,descended from "Old World monkeys". You will find the statement in next to the last Paragraph of Chapter Six. His precise language is worth remembering : "The Simiadae then branched off into two great stems, the New World and Old World Monkeys; and from the latter at a remote period, Man, the wonder and glory of the universe, proceeded.”

Page 11: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Challenges To The Hypothesis Of Evolution

The theory of evolution is only a hypothesis. It is a logical fallacy based on a false premise, leading to many false conclusions in many other fields. Darwin later realized this, but yet some scientists treat it as fact. The big-bang theory contradicts the scientific principle inherent in the second law of thermodynamics which states that all systems left on their own move from order to chaos. The theory of evolution goes against the law of probability. The odds of life coming into existence by blind chance are 1 in 10 to the 40, 000th power. This is an impossibility. According to a brilliant English astronomer, Sir Fred Hoyle, the chances of higher life forms ever evolving is the same as a tornado sweeping through a junk-yard, assembling a Boeing 747 from the materials therein

Page 12: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Why Is Evolution So Popular?

• It is assumed to be true. It is not even a theory, it is simply a hypothesis. A hypothesis attempts to answer questions by putting forth a plausible explanation that has yet to be rigorously tested. A theory, on the other hand, has already undergone extensive testing by various scientists and is generally accepted as being an accurate explanation of an observation. This doesn’t mean the theory is correct;

Page 13: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Is Evolution Theory Or Fact?

• Four Important Definitions Used In The Teaching Of Science:Working Group on Teaching Evolution, National Academy of Sciences (1998)

• Fact: In science, an observation that has been repeatedly confirmed. • Law: A descriptive generalization about how some aspect of the

natural world behaves under stated circumstances. Laws can be very useful in supporting hypotheses and theories, but like all elements of science they can be altered with new information and observations.

• Hypothesis: A testable statement about the natural world that can be used to build more complex inferences and explanations, such as a scientific theory.

• Theory: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses.

Page 14: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Evolution Is Unproveable Assumption• One survey indicated that 62% of parents today in the U.S

believe that Creation should be taught as a viable possibility regarding our origin.

• 52% of this same group said they do not believe the theory of evolution should be taught as a fact.

• Why is it still being taught by many school systems as a fact? Why is one considered ignorant if they believe in the Genesis account of our origins?

• Christians have gone silent and are allowing out children to be taught they are little more than animals. What is the result? If we are not more than elevated animals, then why not act like it? Why bother with morality? We are our own God if evolution is true, and it is truly survival of the fittest. Why are we surprised that there is so little respect for life (abortions, tragic killings). Lack of feeling and morals.

Page 15: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

What Is The Purpose Of Gap Theory?

Another example of man’s attempt to explain origins in another way than the Genesis account. This is a compromise theory (hypothesis). God did it but it took eons of time. Attempt to accommodate the Geologic Cylinder

The gap theory was developed mainly for the purpose of accommodating the great ages demanded by evolutionary geologists. This idea was first popularized by a Scottish theologian, Thomas Chalmers, early in the 19th century.

Page 16: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

The Gap Theory- Scientific?• The reason why geologists will not accept the gap

theory is that it contradicts their assumption that the past is continuous with the present. There is no room in their naturalistic approach to science for a global cataclysm that would destroy all life and then require a new creation of plants, animals, and people such as the gap theory proposes.

• Such a cataclysm would disintegrate any previously deposited sedimentary deposits with their fossils and thus obliterate all evidence of any previous "geological ages." Thus the gap theory, which is supposed to accommodate the geological ages, requires a cataclysm which would destroy all evidence for the geological ages.

Page 17: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Is Gap Theory Biblical?• This awesome spectacle of destruction and death was not

part of God's "very good" creation. There was no death in the world until sin was in the world (Romans 5:12; I Cor. 15:21). In fact, death itself is "the wages of sin" (Romans 6:23). Our future deliverance from sin and death has been purchased by the death of Jesus Christ, who is "the propitiation for our sins and ... also for the sins of the whole world" (John 2:2).

• But if "death reigned" not "from Adam to Moses," as the Bible says (Romans 5:14), but had already reigned for billions of years before Adam, then death is not the wages of sin but instead was part of God's creative purpose. How then could the death of Christ put away sin? The gap theory thus undermines the very gospel of our salvation, as well as the holy character of God.

Page 18: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Is Gap Theory Biblical?• The fact is that no such gap exists between the

first two verses of Genesis at all. The second verse merely describes the initial aspect of the creation as "without form and void"—that is, with neither structure nor inhabitants. The rest of the chapter tells how God produced a marvelous structure for His created universe, with multitudes of plant and animal inhabitants for the earth, all to be under the dominion of its human inhabitants created in the image of God. It was only then that God pronounced the creation "finished" (Genesis 2:1).

Page 19: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Literal 24 Hour Days? YES• There is a theory that says each of God's days in Genesis were actually millions of

years for us. Is this true? What does the word "day" mean in Genesis?• The Hebrew word "yom" is translated as day in Genesis. Just as our word "day" can

have different meanings based on its context, so can the word "yom". For example, in the Old Testament "yom" is translated to mean a 24 hour day 1109 times.

• However, every time the word "yom" is used with the term evening or morning in the Bible, it means a regular 24 hour day.

• What we now see is that in Genesis chapter one God is going out of His way to emphasize that each day is a normal 24 hour day.

• Verse 5: "And there was evening and there was morning, one day."• Verse 8: "And there was evening and there was morning, a second day."• Verse 13: "There was evening and there was morning, a third day."• For each day of creation the pattern is the same: evening, morning, number, day. Just

part of that pattern, for example using the words "evening" and "day" together, tell us it was a 24 hour day. But God tells us in three ways -- evening, morning, number -- that the word day means... an ordinary 24 hour day.

• God is making it very clear: He created everything in six ordinary days.

Page 20: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

• One of the popular devices for trying to accommodate the evolutionary ages of the geologists and astronomers in the creation record of the Bible has been the "gap theory"—also called the "ruin-and-reconstruction" theory.

• According to this concept, Genesis 1:1 describes the initial creation of the universe. Following this, the standard events of cosmic evolution took place, which eventually produced our solar system about five billion years ago. Then, on the earth, the various geologic ages followed, as identified by their respective assemblages of fossils (trilobites, dinosaurs, etc.).

• But then occurred a devastating global cataclysm, destroying all life on Earth and leaving a vast fossil graveyard everywhere. This situation is then said to be what is described in Genesis 1:2. "And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep."

• Those who advocate the gap theory agree that the six days of the creation week were literal days, but they interpret them only as days of recreation, with God creating again many of the kinds of animals and plants destroyed in the cataclysm

Page 21: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Day-Age Theory? Why?• Why Believe the Day-Age Theory?• There are at least two reasons why the Day-Age Theory has

been advocated. First, some in religious circles have accepted as factual most, or all, of organic evolution, and in so doing have adopted the concept known as theistic evolution—the idea that evolution did occur but was guided and controlled by God. Theistic evolutionists therefore must find a way to accommodate the Genesis record to the evolutionary scenario, a critical part of which is an ancient Universe and/or Earth. Without vast amounts of time, evolution is impossible. Thus, the Day-Age Theory often is employed to insert geologic time into the biblical text so that evolution may be accepted as true. John Klotz addressed this point in Genes, Genesis, and Evolution: “It is hardly conceivable that anyone would question the interpretation of these as ordinary days were it not for the fact that people are attempting to reconcile Genesis and evolution” (1955, p. 87).

Page 22: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Literal Days• 1. The days of creation should be accepted as literal,

24-hour periods because the context demands such a rendering.

• The language of the text is simple and clear. Honest exegetes cannot read anything else out of these verses than a day of 24 hours and a week of 7 days. There is not the slightest indication that this is to be regarded as poetry or as an allegory or that it is not to be taken as a historical fact. The language is that of normal human speech to be taken at face value, and the unbiased reader will understand it as it reads. There is no indication that anything but a literal sense is meant (Rehwinkel, 1974, p. 70).

Page 23: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Yom-Olam- Rab• Whenever the writer really intended to convey

the idea of a very long duration of time, he normally used some such word as olam (meaning “age” or “long time”) or else attached to yom an adjective such as rab (meaning “long”), so that the two words together yom rab, then meant “long time.” But yom by itself can apparently never be proved, in one single case, to require the meaning of a long period of time, and certainly no usage which would suggest a geologic age (1974, p. 223, emp. in orig.).

Page 24: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Day & Night- Evening & Morning

• The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24-hour periods because God used and defined the word yom in the context of Genesis 1.

• Actually, it is nothing short of amazing to discover the evidence actually built into the text for “interpreting” what kind of days these were. In Genesis 1:5, Moses wrote: “And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” The “first day” is thus defined by Moses as a period consisting of both day and night—i.e., a normal day.

Page 25: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Days- Seasons- Years• Genesis 1:14 is instructive on this matter: “And God

said, Let there be lights in the firmament of heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and for years.” If the “days” are “ages,” then what are the years? If a day is an age, then what is a night? In other words, the whole passage becomes ridiculous when one attempts to “reinterpret” the word “day.” Marcus Dods, writing in the Expositor’s Bible, stated simply: “If the word ‘day’ in this chapter [Genesis 1—BT] does not mean a period of 24 hours, the interpretation of Scripture is hopeless” (1948, 1:4-5).

Page 26: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Yom & A Number• The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24-

hour periods because whenever the Hebrew word yom is preceded by a numeral in Old Testament non-prophetical literature (viz., the same kind of literature found in Genesis 1), it always carries the meaning of a normal day.

• In addressing this point, Arthur Williams has remarked: “We have failed to find a single example of the use of the word ‘day’ in the entire Scripture where it means other than a period of twenty-four hours when modified by the use of the numerical adjective” (1965, p 10).

Page 27: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Sun On 4th Day• Some have suggested, of course, that literal, 24-hour days would not have

been possible until at least the fourth day, because the Sun had not yet been created. Note, however, that the same “evening and morning” is employed before Genesis 1:14 (the creation of the Sun) as after it. Why should there be three long eras of time before the appearing of the Sun, and only 24-hour days after its creation? Numerous writers have responded to this objection.

• Insofar as the view is concerned that these could not be ordinary days because the sun had not been created, we should like to point to the fact that we still measure time in terms of days even though the sun does not appear or is not visible. For instance, north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle the sun does not appear for periods of time up to six months at the poles themselves. We would not think of measuring time in terms of the appearance or lack of appearance of the sun in these areas. No one would contend that at the North or South Pole a day is the equivalent of six months elsewhere (Klotz, 1955, p. 85). ...If to this the objection is offered that the sun did not shine on the earth until the fourth day, it should be remembered that it is the function of the heavenly bodies to mark the days, not make them! It is night when no moon appears; and the day is the same whether the sun is seen or not (Woods, 1976, p. 17, emp. in orig.).

Page 28: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

What The Bible Says About Creation Days?

• The days of creation should be accepted as literal, 24-hour periods because of plain statements about them in Scripture.

• “For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is...” (Exodus 20:11).“For he spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast” (Psalm 33:9).“Let them praise the name of Jehovah; for he commanded and they were created” (Psalm 148:5).“For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed” (Exodus 31:17).Does a simple, straightforward reading of these verses imply long periods of evolutionary progress, or literal, 24-hour days and instantaneous creation?

Page 29: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

The Garden Of Eden- Gen. 2:18-3:24• 2:18-25- God makes Eve and brings her to Adam and

joins them in marriage (the oldest of institutions). • Man and woman have access to tree of life.• Not to eat of tree of knowledge of good &evil• 3:1-24- Sin enters the world (Eve deceived, Adam is

not deceived- 1 Tim. 2:14). Tempted in all points (1 Jn. 2:16- lust of flesh, eye, pride of life).

• Man experiences shame and guilt and seeks to clothe himself. God clothes them, places curse on ground and gives pain in childbirth.

• Banishment from garden ( Gen. 3:24) and birth of Cain and Abel

Page 30: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Sin Enters The World• 1 Tim. 2:14- Eve was tempted, Adam was not• Death entered the world: Physical death and

spiritual death.• Access to the tree of life is taken away. • Man only being God made that has the capacity

to reject the Creator. We have a choice. We are not born to sin, nor to we inherit the sin of Adam.

• The consequences of the sin of Adam are passed to all- we will all die physically and if we live long enough to be responsible we will fall into sin (Rom. 3:23; 6:23).

Page 31: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Inherited Sin? No• If we inherit the sin of Adam then little children

are sinners when they are born and Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death.

• Jesus said we are to become as little children (Matt. 18:3; 19:14), in order to be in His kingdom. He was not saying we need to become sinners.

• Children are innocent and pure. This is what Christ was referring to.

• No need to baptize babies- baptism is for remission of sins (Acts 2:38). Babies have no sin.

Page 32: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Generations of Adam and The Flood

• Generations- 4:25- 5:32• The flood- 6:1-9:29• 6:1-4- Mankind becomes wicked• 6:5-22- God warns Noah to prepare for the flood

(preach and warn people for 120 years and build an ark according to the pattern- gather animal).

• 7:1-24- the flood begins- 8 souls in ark and God closes the door- no more access. See 1 Peter 3:20-22

• 8:1-22- waters recede• 9:1-17- covenant of God – sign of rainbow• 9:18-29- curse upon Canaan.

Page 33: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Was The Flood Worldwide?• The clearest verses that show the extent of the flood are Genesis

7:19-23- Regarding the waters, “They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. Every living thing that moved on the earth perished—birds, livestock, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all mankind. Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.”

• 2 Peter 3:6.7,20 – all of these verses indicate that the flood was worldwide.

• Jesus said it was worldwide- Luke 17:26-27; Mt. 24:37-39 He uses it as a type of the destruction of the world at the end of time.

Page 34: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

2 Peter 3:6,7; 1 Pet. 3:20,216 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with

water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

Page 35: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

The Scattering Of The People• Gen. 10:1-11:32• 10:1-32- generations of Noah’s sons• 10:1-5- Japheth• 10:6-20- Ham• 10:21- 32- Shem• 11:1-9- The Tower of Babel- languages

confused- people scatter as told to do• 11:10-26- generations of Shem narrowed to

one line. Shem -Abraham

Page 36: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Generational Contact

The last 40 years of Noah’s Life , all 10 patriarchs born after the flood were alive including Abraham.

Shem, the son of Noah, lived to see the first 100 plus years of Isaac's life and the first 50 years of Jacob's life.

Seventy-eight years after the death of Shem, the children of Israel moved into Egypt during the drought.

Page 37: Genesis 1:1-5:32- Creation Stories

Amazing Links Of The Generations• It is amazing to realize due to the length of the lifespans how "first hand" this history

was all the way down to Jacob's 12 sons....even though it was not recorded until much later than Adam's time on earth....at least on any documents that we have found to date. When Joseph died (somewhere around the year 2,309 from when Adam was banished from the Garden), you can see One,..... Two, ......Three intersecting lifespans covering the time from Joseph to those who knew Adam. From the bottom working up to Adams time....One being Joseph's....Two being Jacob's....Three being Shem's(Noah's son).....who knew Methuselah for 99 years.....who knew Adam for over 240 years.

• Shem (Noah's son) was born pre-flood and knew Methuselah, and Lamech, (both of whom knew Adam); and Noah, Terah (Abraham's father), Abraham, Isaac, and Joseph's father Jacob (son of Isaac), (Jacob died in Egypt about 280 years before Aaron and Moses were born).

• Adam knew Enoch, and Enoch's son Methuselah. Methuselah, (Who was 247 yrs old when Adam died.) also knew Noah for 600 years, and Noah's son Shem for about 100 years. Noah (who had first hand accounts of Adam through Methuselah) knew Abraham for about 60 years. Noah's son, Shem knew Abraham for all of Abraham's 175 years, outliving Abraham for an additional 35 years. Shem was still alive when Abraham's son Isaac was born and when Isaac's son, Jacob, was born. Isaac was 110 years old and Jacob was 50 years old when Shem died.

Romans 5:15-17-First & Second Adam15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if

through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.

16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.

17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Hebrews 11- Faith & WorksHeb 11:3- Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so

that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Heb 11:7- By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Heb 11:8-10- By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Heb 11:17-22- By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.
