The Lord Prepares the Way through Joseph

Psalms 105:16-25

And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
