Exodus 13 · Grade 2

A Cloud and a Fire

Name Date

Read the Story

God's people left Egypt. Moses said, Remember this day. God brought them out with his strong hand. Every year they would eat flat bread for seven days to remember.

God did not take them the short way, where there might be war. He led them through the wilderness instead. Moses also brought Joseph's bones, because Joseph had asked them to.

God went in front of His people. In the daytime He was in a tall cloud. At night He was in a tall fire that gave them light. God never left them!

Memory Verse

Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
