Sunday, June 23 I am proceeding to go down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians.—Ex. 3:8. God’s purpose in delivering the Israelites was to raise them up as his people. (Gen. 22:17) God gave them a code of laws that would enable them to enjoy a peaceful relationship with him. (Isa. 48:17, 18) He told the Israelites: “If you will strictly obey my voice and will indeed keep my covenant [as outlined in the Law code], then you will certainly become my special property out of all other peoples.” (Ex. 19:5, 6) Thus, the Israelites’ enjoying a privileged relationship with God was contingent on their obeying his voice. Just think what life would have been like if the Israelites had only obeyed God’s voice! Jehovah would have blessed their fields, their vineyards, their flocks, and their herds. Also, their enemies would have had no permanent hold on them, providing concrete proof that obedience to the true God brings spiritual and material blessings.—1 Ki. 10:23-27. w11 7/15 3:7, 8 Copyright © 2013 Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania.
