Part 17: The prophet Moses of 1400 BCE

As a reminder, all 3 prophets of this cycle were not meant to teach new doctrines like the previous prophets; instead, they were meant to help Faithists of India, China, and Egypt come back together again after the damage done by the 2,400-year reign of false Gods. As Capilya in India and Chine of China freed the scattered Faithists from “bondage” (servitude and persecution) and bring them back together in small, rabbah-led communities, Moses did the same in the region of Egypt.

State of Egypt before Moses’ birth

Why the Faithists of Egypt were called Israelites: Oahspe says that Faithists of Egypt were called Israelites because Israelite was the Egyptian translation of Faithist. The explanation that eventually made it into the bibles of some of the Abrahamic religions, on the other hand, say that the Hebrews enslaved in Egypt at the time of Moses were called Israelites because they were the descendants of Abraham’s grandson, Jacob, who was renamed Israel, for “let God prevail”, after wresting a mysterious angel (or man)¹.

Why were the Israelites enslaved in Egypt?: Oahspe says that the kings of Egypt persecuted the Israelites for the 1,500 years leading up to the birth of Moses because they would not bow down to the Egyptian’s God of Gods, Osiris (the false). They were oppressed by strict laws called the Sun Laws. Anyone that worshipped the Great Spirit, denied that the Creator is in the image of a man, was circumcised, or refused to serve as soldiers, were considered enemies and had to forfeit all possessions, could not own a house, could not send their children to school, could not appear in court, and had to be “servants and the servants of servants forever.”

The state of Egypt: Oahspe describes Egyptians around the time of Moses’ birth as “victims of evil spirits”, which caused them to descend to unnatural practices, some that involved “beasts of the fields, and dogs, male and female, and goats”. Their actions resulted in poisoning of the flesh, they had “running sores; and only evil practices alleviated the pains”. Thousands of Israelites were becoming afflicted in the same way. Furthermore, the divide between the rich and poor more so worsened the conditions of most people. Out of the 13 million inhabitants of Egypt, the richest country in the world at the time, 2,480 nobles owned and possessed everything. The divide was so great that the 4 million Israelites were not just servants, but servants of servants. The royal court and the nobles had servants, which were also called “tenants”, who were in turn “Masters” over the Israelites with whom served them.

Nevertheless, even more Faithists immigrated into Egypt in the 300 years leading up to Moses’ birth because the 2 remaining false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth, had so many of the surrounding kingdoms at war with one another that Faithists moved into Egypt and “accepted a life of servitude rather than be slain elsewhere.” Additionally, in preparation for the birth of Moses, who was raised up specifically to free the enslaved Faithists of Egypt, a former God of Earth named Injek was sent back down to Earth to inspire the Faithists of Persia and Heleste (Greece) to migrate to “Moses and his people” in Egypt.
Note about the 2 remaining false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth: These 2 false Gods have been active on Earth for about 1,400 years by now, since about 2800 BCE. As a reminder, after the first major false God of the aforementioned 2,400-year reign of false Gods, detailed in part 15, fell from power, false Osiris took over along-side false Te-in and Sudga. False Osiris appointed Baal and Ashtaroth as his “earth managers”. By this time (~1400 BCE), however, the false Gods De’yus, Osiris, Te-in, and Sudga have fallen out of power and the only 2 remaining major false Gods active on Earth include Baal and Ashtaroth (Goddess).

The biblical scriptures of the some of the biblical texts of the Abrahamic religions, on the other hand, say that (1) the Israelites were in Egypt because of Abraham’s great grandson, Joseph, and (2) the Israelites were prosperous in Egypt until the last 300 years before Moses’ birth. The overlay, Joseph brings Israelites into Egypt, provides a brief overview of how some of the biblical scriptures say the Israelites ended up in Egypt as a result of Abraham’s great grandson, Joseph, who was sold by his brothers, ended up in Egypt, became favored by the Pharaoh, and eventually moved his entire family from the land of Canaan (Hebron) into Egypt.

The overall state of Egypt began taking its toll on the Israelites as well. Among the 4 million Israelites, not all remained “of full faith”. Many began to profess “to be worshippers of God (Osiris)” just to “shirk the rigors of the Sun laws”. In other words, in order to get out from under the extreme limitations of the Sun Laws, many Israelites enlisted as soldiers and would “otherwise connive in the ways of men, for sake of favors”. This resulted in the Sun King (Egyptian Pharaoh) and the Egyptian ruling class becoming increasingly concerned that the Israelites might “revolt against the Sun Laws or become soldiers and confederate with foreign kingdoms for the overthrow of the Eguptian dynasty.” By the time of Moses’ birth, “male children of Israelite parentage were outlawed” (midwives were tasked with making Israelite boy newborns disappear) “nor could any man be punished for slaying them”.

False Gods inspired Israelite/Canaan inter-marriage

Several hundred years before Moses birth, so around 1700 BCE, Oahspe explains that the 2 remaining false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth, who resided over Western and Southern Arabin’ya (Arabia), had already been at work in Egypt trying to overthrow “worshipers of the Great Spirit”. At least 300 years before the birth of Moses, these false Gods found a way to get their own spirits into the camps of the Israelites. They sent spirit emissaries to the best-looking women of Canaan and inspired them to enter the camps of the Israelites and tempt the young men. Many of the Israelite men were tempted by their beauty and took them as wives. When the women moved into the Israelite camps, they “brought with them their own familiar spirits, who were slaves to Baal and Ashtaroth.”

The descendants of these inter-marriages will come back into play later, several hundred years after the Israelites leave Egypt, when the Israelites become divided, anoint their first-ever king, create a standing army, etc., which will all be covered later. Oahspe adds that “when the half-breed children were grown up, having Canaan mothers, they began to murmur against the peace policy of the Israelites” and desired kings, emperors, standing armies, and land and cattle ownership like “other people”.
Note: Neither the use of “Half-breed” nor “having Canaan mothers” is meant to be derogatory here. “Half-breeds” were intentionally created many, many times throughout Oahpse for the betterment of humanity. Regarding “Canaan mothers”, a Canaanite was anyone in the region of Canaan that was not part of the spiritually-inclined Faithist/Israelite communities, but the real reason these mothers negatively influenced their offspring was because they had familiar spirits attached to them that worked for the false Gods.

Note: Oahspe adds that as soon as the false Gods began inspiring these inter-marriages, the “ark of Bon immediately sent Jerub, an etherean angel, into the Israelites’ camp”, along with 2,000 inspiring spirits, “to counteract the labors of Baal and Ashtaroth.”

Regarding the “arc of Bon”, as the Earth travels through space, going around the North Star, Earth travels through many 3,000-year regions of space called cycles. Each new cycle begins with several hundred years of lighter, less dense space where good things happen. Therefore, the ascended beings from this region of space sent one of their own, Jerub, to Earth to help.

Oahspe adds that in spite of Jerub’s and his inspiring spirits’ work in the Israelite camps, the “half-breed” offspring would eventually contribute to the downfall of the Israelites almost 400 years after they leave Egypt, which will be covered later.

Birth of Moses

To raise up Moses, because the “land of Egupt is overrun with spirits of darkness (drujas), and mortals have attained to see them and they dwell together as one people, angels and mortals”, the loo’is, the masters of generations, “searched all over the land of Egupt and in the adjoining countries, examining into the flesh and souls of men”.

Finally, the loo’is found a reclusive Fonecean Faithist man named Baksa to be the forefather of the prophet Moses. The loo’is led Baksa to take an I’hin woman as his wife and they had a son named Hasumat. Six generations later, Moses was born. The overlay, Lineage & Birth of Moses, describes 6 generations of the bloodline of the prophet Moses including details about Moses’ great grandfather who was born with a birth defect, was named “Levi” signifying “joined together”, and started a new line, the “House of Levi”, because he was not a legitimate heir.

Angels told Moses’ mother, Yokebed, to name her son Moses, signifying “a leader-forth, for he shall deliver the Israelites out of bondage”. Like Capilya of India, Moses was born a Faithist (Israelite), but needed to be raised in the house of a king so that “the king shall give him great learning; he shall master all languages, and be capable of speaking with all My people.” Moses’ mother was told that her son “shall be taken from thee, and thou canst not find him”, he will be adopted, and get the education of a prince.

Moses placed behind the walls of the Pharaoh’s palace: The Pharaoh’s palace and pyramids were well guarded to the point of being impenetrable without permission, so angels orchestrated the placement of Moses. The Pharaoh’s daughter, Leotonas, found Moses in a basket along the river; she could tell he was an Israelite child (aka Hebrew child) and she thought the Gods had sent him to her. The Pharaoh let her keep the child to be “as a brother and a son to her.” He also tried to find out how the child was placed behind the walls of the palace, but never could figure it out, so he eventually let it go. The angels orchestrated events so that Moses’ mother was his nurse (just like Capilya and his mother in India).

Moses became ambassador and target of prejudice: After Moses grew up to be a large, strong, copper-colored man, pure I’huan, the Pharaoh, having no other son, loved Moses and raised him as a prince. Moses was “made acquainted with kings and queens and governors” and was eventually made ambassador to the 7 foreign tributary kingdoms that all paid taxes to the Pharaoh. After 12 years, the members of the Pharaoh’s court eventually requested Moses’ removal from office because they were prejudice against Moses for “being of Israelitish blood”.
Note: Biblical scriptures also say the Pharaoh’s daughter took Moses as her son, but then do not say anything else about the relationship between Moses and the Pharaoh until the Pharaoh tries to kill Moses after he heard that Moses killed an Egyptian (Oahspe says that Moses did not kill an Egyptian).

Moses began working with the Israelites

Moses learned the grievances of the Israelites: Moses suspected the prejudice against him, “being of Israelitish blood”, was his punishment from God for ignoring his own people, so he left the palace and lived among the Israelites to witness “the tasks put upon them; their denial before the courts; their forbiddance to education” first-hand, but after 4 months when Moses returned to his foster-father, the Pharaoh, neither of them knew what to do to make things better for the Israelites. If the Pharaoh repealed the laws that persecuted the Israelites, his court would “heap coals of fire on thy head and on mine.”

Moses learned of the Exodus: Before Moses left the Pharaoh’s palace, while he was with the Pharaoh and the Pharaoh’s daughter, “Moses’ ears were opened, and he heard the Voice of Jehovih (through His angels)” say, “now is the beginning of My power on the face of the earth”, which meant that Jehovih, through His angels, would begin working through Moses. The Voice told Moses, “thou shalt take thy people out of the land of Egupt; and I will bestow upon them the lands of the ancients” and the Voice added that Jehovih would lead Moses to the lands. Lastly, the Voice told the Pharaoh, “Change not thy laws, O king; let Egupt have her way; and let the Israelites have their way also.”

Moses enters a new relationship with a voice/God/Lord

Up until this point, Moses’ life and work as a prophet was similar to the other prophets, but from this point forward, the same cannot be said. It started the next day after Moses was told by the angels of Jehovih, in the presence of the Pharaoh and his daughter, about the necessity of the exodus. Moses was in the wilderness contemplating how to get 4 million Israelites out of Egypt when, according to both Oahspe and the biblical scriptures, “an angel of Jehovih appeared in a flame of fire in a bush” to tell Moses again that he would lead the Israelites out of Egypt (the scriptures say an angel of the Lord rather than Jehovih). This time, however, the voice of the burning bush identified itself as “the God of Abraham, and of Isaac and Jacob”, told Moses He would help him deliver his people “into an inheritance which shall be your own“, and for Moses to be sure to tell the Israelites, “The I Am sent me.”

Oahspe’s version of the voice in the burning bush

The biblical scriptures say that Moses conversed with the voice of the burning bush on the “mountain of God” (Mount Sinai) rather than right outside of the Pharaoh’s palace. The scriptures also say that after Moses killed an Egyptian (does not happen in Oahspe), he fled to Midian, lived with a Midian Priest named Jethro (his future father-in-law), and that God spoke to Moses from the burning bush⁴.

This was the beginning of a new relationship between Moses and a powerfully persuasive entity that sooner or later (or sooner and later, it is hard to tell) impacts the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt and arguably changed the history of the world as we know it. Oahspe provides no additional context nor explanation for Moses’ conversation with a voice in a burning bush that was unlike any conversation ever had between a true prophet and the unseen representatives of Jehovih.

Law of One suggests that the voice of the burning bush was the “Orion Group”: An outside source, another channeled work called the “Law of One”, from the same group that approved the channeling of Oahspe, does provide a potential explanation for anyone that is interested. The section, Voice of burning bush was the Orion Group, describes how the “Law of One” says that during Moses’ time, an entity from a group known as the Orion Group came to Earth to intervene and co-opt Earth’s ascension process (aka harvest); that in Moses’ time, Earth became an intense battleground between service-to-self and service-to-others forces; and that the Orion Group achieves their objectives by establishing an elite and causing others to serve the elite through “various devices such as laws.” An intervention such as this by a group such as the Orion Group may help to explain the contradictory nature of many of the biblical scriptures of the 7 Abrahamic religions and why the day after Moses learned he would lead the Israelites out of Egypt, he was told again by a voice in a burning bush that (1) it was the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,(2) that came to deliver Moses into an inheritance that shall be his own, and (3) ‼️that Moses should tell the Israelites that “The I AM” sent him.

There is no indication within Oahspe that Moses conversed with the voice of the burning bush again before the Israelites left Egypt. In a succeeding chapter of Oahspe, however, called the Book of Saphah, it appears that Moses reunites with the voice when he receives the “Ten Commandments” and the instructions for the construction of the tabernacle, ark of the covenant, and tent of meeting, which will all be covered later.

The events leading up to the exodus

After Moses found out about the necessity of the exodus, Moses and his brother, Aaron, spent 3 years traveling through Egypt once again, but this time, to urge the “Raban families” to get ready to depart Egypt on foot. As mentioned, Egyptians were “victims of evil spirits” and had the afflictions and addictions to prove it. Thousands of Israelites were becoming afflicted in the same way, so Moses argued that the only way the Israelites could avoid affliction was to leave Egypt.

Commissioners find uninhabited land for the Israelites: Between the time that Moses conversed with the voice of the burning bush and the time the Israelites left Egypt, Moses was indeed still under the guidance of Jehovih, through His angels. Oahspe says that “the Voice of Jehovih came to Moses” and told him to have the Pharaoh send out commissioners to examine in advance the potential regions outside of Egypt that the Israelites could settle, which is further evidence that Moses did not intend for the Israelites to take over already-inhabited land like the voice of the burning bush and the scriptures of the Bible indicate. The Pharaoh sent out 33 commissioners for 7 months. At the same time, Aaron traveled throughout Egypt to inform the Israelites about the commission and how to best prepare for departure. The commissioners’ report was favorable, so it was sent out to the Israelites for encouragement.

Israelites strategically divided into 21 groups: Another example of Jehovih’s guidance was when the angels of Jehovih had Moses select 21 head rab’bah to lead groups that would depart from 21 different locations with the exact timing of departure kept secret. They were given 77 days notice before departure so that rab’bahs could report the size and state of readiness of their groups. The biblical scriptures, on the other hand, group the Israelites into 12 clans, the clans of Rueben, Simeon, Levi, and so on. These clans are eventually known as the “Twelve Tribes of Israel⁷” (Exodus 6).

The sacrificial ritual (Passover) – was it Moses’ or Jehovih’s idea?: Moses designated the 10th day of the month of Abib as the date for “when all the people should start” their final readiness. Moses told the heads that the night before they leave Egypt, “every family shall offer a lamb in sacrifice” and every member of the family that can speak “shall covenant unto Jehovih in the blood of the lamb” against Egypt. Although Aaron and a man named Akad told the “Heads of the Houses of Israel” about the sacrificial ritual, “Thus saith Moses: This is the commandment of Jehovih, Who is Almighty!”, this ritual was highly likely the sole idea of Moses rather than from the angels of Jehovih. By this time, the ritual of sacrifice was considered a ‘barbarian’ ritual. Nevertheless, the Israelites were told that when the blood of the lamb flows, each family member shall say the following statement:

In Egupt the lamb of Jehovih is dead; His God shall go hence with Israel, but Egupt shall be accursed from this night! Accept this, my covenant, with thee, O Jehovih (E-O-Ih!), for innocent blood hath been shed as a testimony before Thee that, with to-morrow’s rising sun, I rise to lie not down in Egupt forever!
Oahspe

A later chapter of Oahspe, called the “Book of Eskra”, confirms that when Moses had the Israelites say, “but Egupt shall be accursed from this night”, Moses inadvertently cursed the Egyptians, which will be covered later, but is definitely a good indication that the entire sacrificial ritual was likely Moses’ idea there that the angels of Jehovih.

The biblical scriptures’ version of this “Passover sacrifice to the Lord” is similar to Oahspe’s, but focuses on how the Israelites were told to slaughter a lamb, sheep, or goat (rather than a lamb of peace/God), and no more than the family could eat in one night. In addition to roasting and eating the meat, they used the blood to mark their homes so that when the Lord came through Egypt, the Lord’s destroyer (angel of death) would pass over their homes: “No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt” (Exodus 12). The scriptures also made it clear, from the very beginning, that once the Israelites “enter the land that the Lord has promised to give to you”, they and their children “must obey these rules forever” as a lasting ordinance, which meant for generations to come, the Israelites would celebrate the Passover as a festival to the Lord and teach their children about how the Lord killed the Egyptians, yet their homes were passed over and their lives spared.

While the blood of the lamb physically marked the Israelites’ homes, the scriptures say that it symbolically represented their promise to their Lord that in return for being passed over, they would consecrate (dedicate formally) their first-born sons to their Lord God⁹. To be covered later, however, God eventually changes His mind and takes the Levites for Himself in place of the first-born sons of Israel.

Moses’ and the Pharaoh’s conflict portrayed very differently in Oahspe vs. biblical scripture

Oahspe describes there being 2 Egyptian Pharaohs; the first one was Moses’ foster father who came to understand the plight of the Israelites, while the second Pharaoh, Nu-ghan, did not. According to Oahspe, the second Pharaoh, Nu-ghan, already had an unfavorable outlook on the Israelites largely as a result of the false Gods. Furthermore, similar to what happened to Abraham, after Egyptian courtiers and nobles found out about Moses and Aaron “meddling with their slaves”, rumors and false accusations were spread throughout Egypt.

First, rumors spread that Moses killed an Egyptian and was cast out of Egypt, which according to Oahspe, did not happen, yet the false accusation still made it into biblical scripture. Next, the “Gods of the Egyptians” (false Gods) used oracles to convince Egyptians that the Israelites wanted to leave Egypt to unite with surrounding kingdoms and return to overthrow Egypt. The final straw was when the first Pharaoh was nearing his death, the Egyptian false Gods used oracles to tell the courtiers and nobles that Moses persuaded his foster-father to hand the kingdom over to foreign nations because the Pharaoh had no son eligible for the throne. This is when Egyptian officials began working toward the cancellation of the migration of the Israelites out of Egypt.

Bible says God used the Pharaoh to display His power

The biblical scriptures have 2 Pharaohs as well, but the entire narrative around the Israelites’ relationship with the Egyptians is very different in the biblical scriptures compared to Oahspe. The biblical scriptures say the Israelites ended up in Egypt as a result of Abraham’s great grandson, Joseph; that after he was sold by his brothers, he ended up in Egypt, was favored by the Egyptian Pharaoh, and eventually moved his entire family to Egypt including his father Jacob (renamed Israel) and his 12 siblings. The next Pharaoh, however, did not know of Joseph and therefore was unsympathetic to the plight of the Israelites, felt they were too numerous, put slave masters over them and oppressed them with forced labor, yet they still continued to grow in number.

The most important difference between Oahspe the biblical scriptures, however, or at least the difference that this synopsis focuses on, is that while Oahspe says both Egyptian Pharaohs knew the Israelites wanted to leave Egypt for good to escape slavery, the biblical scriptures say that God (voice of the burning bush) had Moses tell the Egyptian Pharaoh that the Israelites wanted to leave Egypt for only 3 days to worship their God¹¹. Scriptures say the Pharaoh would have agreed, but God repeatedly hardened the Pharaoh’s heart so that God could display His power as Lord God and have His name proclaimed throughout all of His earth.

In fact, the biblical scriptures say that God had Moses tell the Pharaoh that God could have wiped the Egyptians off of the Earth by now, “But I have raised you (the Pharaoh) up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth^12.” According to the scriptures, God hardened the Pharaoh’s heart enough times to inflict 10 different plagues onto the Egyptians before finally killing their firstborn; and it was all meant to send the following messages:

…so you may know that the earth is the Lord’s.
…the Egyptians will know that I am Lord.
…so that you may know that there is no one like me in all the earth.
Then you will know that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
Israel is my firstborn son. Let my son go, so he may worship me. But you refused to let him go; so I will kill your firstborn son.
…you may tell your children and your grandchildren how I dealt harshly with the Egyptians and how I performed signs among them, and that you may know that I am the Lord.
Exodus 3-9¹³

To this day there is no full agreement among the 7 different Abrahamic religions nor biblical experts as to why God hardened the Pharaoh’s heart. Some people think that God hardened the Pharaoh’s heart as punishment for the Pharaoh’s previous sins while others think that God’s manipulation of the Pharaoh was just a necessary step in God deploying His divine power¹⁴.
Note: Later, it will be covered how the version of the “Exodus of the Hebrews” that eventually made it into the Hebrew Scriptures and the Old Testament Bible were actually written by Egyptians rather than Israelites, so maybe the Egyptians said God hardened the Pharaoh’s heart to minimize the blame put onto them… (see The Formation of the Hebrew Scriptures for more details).

Moses meets with the new Pharaoh of Egypt

By this time, the first Pharaoh, Moses’ foster father, died and the new Pharaoh, Nu-ghan, who “hath a great hate for Israel”, took the throne.

New Pharaoh under the influence of false Gods: The new Pharaoh, Nu-ghan, considered himself “king and possessor of all the world by commandment of God, and by his son (Osiris), who is dead and risen, being myself God of the earth, into whose hands are bequeathed all the living…”, but according to the end of Part 15, false Osiris had been overcome in the lower heavens and cast into a hell by this time. Therefore, although the Pharaoh thought he was under the rule of false Osiris, he was likely ruled instead by the 2 remaining false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth. The false Gods, through their oracles, likely fed the Pharaoh disinformation about the intentions of the Israelites to overthrow Egypt so that either 4 million Israelites would remain enslaved in Egypt or the Egyptians would destroy the Israelites with whom worshiped their God (the Great Spirit/Jehovih the Creator) rather than the false Gods.

“The Three Worlds”, John Ballou Newbrough¹⁵

Moses diplomatically pleads his cause with the new Pharaoh: Moses, under the guidance of Jehovih, went before the new Pharaoh to “plead thy cause”. Moses reminded the Pharaoh that the Pharaoh’s own Lord had given him responsibility over the people of Egypt, but the Pharaoh had allowed “pestilence and death” to come upon them, so according to his Lord’s commandments, he had sinned and was therefore bonded to his subjects. Moses reminded the Pharaoh that bondage is not for this world only; he would be responsible for his people in the afterlife as well. Therefore, only in allowing the Israelites to leave Egypt could the Pharaoh avoid further magnifying his sin and the future afflictions that would come upon his people as a result.

The Pharaoh disregarded Moses’ recommendation, said his Lord told him not to let the Israelites leave Egypt, and then implied that Moses was a traitor, an outlaw, accursed by the oracles, a fake, and a mere slave to the unseen.

Jethro the Priest: Oahspe specifically, but briefly, mentions Jethro the priest, which is also mentioned more prominently in the biblical scriptures. In Oahspe, the Pharaoh told Moses that he knew all about Moses going to Hored (heaven) to ally with the Pharaoh’s high priest, Jethro, in an attempt to take the land of Egypt for the Israelites. In the biblical scriptures, on the other hand, Jethro plays a much larger role in the narrative around Moses, God, and the plight of the Israelites. The overlay, Jethro in the scriptures, describes how the biblical scriptures portray Jethro the Priest as Moses’ father-in-law and also his mentor in establishing Judges for the Israelites that would solve all disputes according to the decrees and instructions of the “God” that dwelled with them.

Moses forewarns the Pharaoh of future plagues: After Moses’ and the Pharaoh’s negotiations were unsuccessful, the tone of Moses’ and the Pharaoh’s conversation took a dark turn. It is hard to tell which of Moses’ words were his words vs. the words of Jehovih, through His angels.

Moses told the Pharaoh that his “Lord God” were merely angels of the dead that bid him advice benefiting only him, not all of Egypt, and that they do miracles that others can also do. Moses told the Pharaoh that there are only 2 powers in heaven: the power of Jehovih for “Justice and Goodness” and the power “that which is for sin and death”. Moses added, “there be Gods and Lords in heaven that could sweep the sea up, and drown this whole country”. If the Pharaoh continued to denounce the real “power of heaven” and the “Creator lifts off His protecting hand from Egupt, she shall in that day become the plague spot of the earth”, just like what happened to Thothma in the final demise of the Egypt empire. Lastly, Moses told the Pharaoh that not only would he allow the Israelites to leave, he will send his armies to drive them out.

Note: This likely indicates that Jehovih did the protecting rather than the killing. In other words, instead of God/Jehovih killing first-born Egyptians, some other evil entity inflicted death and/or plague onto the Egyptians while Jehovih, through His angels, protected the Israelites from the same afflictions.

Moses puts a curse on the Pharaoh: At this point, the Pharaoh under-estimated Moses and Aaron; he did not take them seriously nor did he think they were capable of inflicting such things onto the Egyptians. The overlay, Moses accursed the Egyptians, explains how (1) Moses inadvertently accursed both the Pharaoh and the Egyptians and (2) the Pharaoh accursed the Israelites. Over a thousand years later, Moses was finally notified of the curses, lifted them, and helped to redeem Nu-ghan, Nu-ghan then went to work to raise up the Isrealites that he once enslaved by establishing the Essenes, the forefathers of the future prophet, Joshu (aka Jesus).

Moses accursed the Egyptians:	Behold, a day is set; a night is marked out when the lamb of peace shall die… that night the first-born of every woman, and the first-born of every beast in the fields, shall die for all the Eguptians; and in that same night not one of the Israelites shall go down in death. Jehovih saith: I will show My power through My people in the time of My covenants.
Moses accursed the Pharaoh:	Whether in this world or the next, thou shalt yet call unto me to deliver thee from torments. Nevertheless, I do thy bidding; neither will I come to thee again, nor shalt thou look upon my face for a long season.

Pharaoh punishes Israelites: Not surprisingly, Moses’ threats toward the Pharaoh angered him and as a result, the Pharaoh “put extra hardships upon the Israelites”. Moses again called out to Jehovih who reassured Moses that “hardships that Pharaoh hath newly added, shall be a blessing to thy people”. In other words, when the Israelites’ conditions worsened due to additional hardships put on them, it helped convince the remaining hesitant Israelites to finally commit to leaving Egypt.

Plagues of Egypt

Oahspe’s description of the plagues of Egypt are nowhere nearly as dramatic as the biblical scriptures’ infamous 10 plagues; however, both sources say that the firstborn of the Egyptians were indeed killed.

First afflictions were naturally occurring: Contrary to the biblical scriptures, the first afflictions on the Egyptians were naturally occurring. As a result of the Israelites leaving their task-masters, lands were not tilled nor built up, the country became dirty and foul-smelling, “insects and vermin filled all the air of heaven”, vermin came upon the Egyptians, and they were “stricken with fevers, or lepers, or scabs”. Living conditions were so bad that when the Pharaoh tried to gather an army of 200,000, “they were scattered and afflicted so that they were only as vagrants, without head or discipline.”

The second set of inflictions exemplified the power of the unseen vs. man’s arrogance: Oahspe describes 2 miracles carried out by the angels of Jehovih, which were in essence subterfuges, meaning these miracles were carried out with the intention of proving wrong the philosophers of Egypt that thought that “All things come up from the earth” and had “tried every way to put Me (Jehovih) aside, and to explain My creation away as an idle tale.” First, Jehovih, through His angels, made a black cloud, as wide as Egypt, appear in a cloudless sky. The cloud descended down to Earth and released locusts unlike “any other locusts that have been on the earth or ever shall be”, “not of the seed of the earth”, and remained in Egypt for 3 days, yet did “not touch one Hebrew in all the land”. Second, frogs and reptiles came out of the water, entered the Egyptians’ homes, and ate their flesh until the stench strangled them almost to death.

Moses’ third and final warning, after the Pharaoh dismissed the first 2 “miracles” and continued to refuse to let the Israelites leave Egypt, Jehovih, through his angels, told Moses that man does not believe in the Creator even after He displays “signs and omens continually, and give him prophecies without end.”, but “One thing only turneth a man’s eyes inward; that is, flesh of his flesh, lying dead before him.”

Moses warned the Pharaoh one last time that if by the 9th day of the month of Abib, he still refused to let the Israelites leave Egypt, Moses reiterated the aforementioned curse he inadvertently put onto the Egyptians and emphasized once again that only the Israelites would be protected by the angels of Jehovih:

Jehovih will raise His hand over Israel; but as for Egupt, thy Lord shall strike her in death. For in every family of Eguptians, far and near, on that night shall the first-born fall dead; and that thou shalt not say the prophecy killed them, behold the first-born of every beast shall die also… For on that night, behold, four millions of Israelites shall make with Jehovih the covenant of death… And this shall be the testimony of innocent blood against thyself and all thy people, for what the Hebrews have suffered.

Note: Moses’ statement to the Pharaoh provides 2 additional hints that it was not Jehovih, the Creator, that killed the Egyptians’ first-born. First, Moses said, “Jehovih will raise His hand over Israel”, which meant that Jehovih’s angels will protect the Israelites. And second, Moses said, “thy Lord shall strike her in death”, which is equivalent to “your Lord shall strike Egypt in death” and Moses never referred to Jehovih as “Lord”. Moses did, however, refer to the Pharaoh’s God as “his Lord God”.
Regarding who killed Egyptians’ first-born, it may have been evil spirits that were given free reign after Jehovih’s angels lifted their protecting hand, and/or emissaries of the false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth, and/or maybe even the Orion Group? (based on the Law of One’s allegation about the Orion Group)

The biblical scriptures later portray that not only did “God” use and manipulate the Egyptian Pharaoh by hardening his heart so he would repeatedly disallow the Israelites to leave Egypt for 3 days, but the same “God” inflicted the Egyptians with 10 different plagues before finally killing their first-born – all so the Egyptians would know that He is Lord, there is no one like Him on all of His Earth, that He makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel, and because Egypt refused to let Israel, His first-born son, leave, He killed their first-born sons.

Egyptian first-born fall dead: The Pharaoh did not reply to Moses’ warnings nor did he reply after Egypt was overspread by frogs and reptiles; as a result, the night before the exodus, “when the Israelites made the covenant on the blood of the lamb”, a hot wind blew and every first-born Egyptian child and Egyptian-owned animal fell dead including the Pharaoh’s son, his nephew, and the first-born of every Egyptian courtier and noble. Before the Egyptians could act on their Pharaoh’s new order to slaughter every Israelite man, woman, and child, the 21 groups of Israelites began departing Egypt while their leaders said, “Neither shall Egupt prosper more till Thou hast subdued the whole earth unto Thee.”

Egyptians offer Israelites gifts: On the Israelites’ way out, some of the Egyptians that “knew the miracles that had taken place” relented and begged the Israelites, in the name of their God, to please take their gifts of gold, silver, donkeys, camels, and food so that they would not be accursed by their own Gods.
Note: Oahspe’s use of “their God” and “their own Gods” when referring to the Egyptians is another hint that it may have been the God(s) of the Egyptians, which were the false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth, that likely inflicted the plagues in Egypt; not Jehovih and not even the “God of Israel.”

The biblical scriptures also describe this event. When the Egyptians wrote their version of the exodus that eventually made it into the scriptures, they said that when Moses first conversed with the voice in the burning bush, the voice told Moses that God would manipulate the Egyptians into giving the Israelites gifts on their way out, which would enable them to “plunder (steal from) the Egyptians”.

Moses was insecure about speaking: Before moving on to the events that occurred after the Israelites left Egypt, this synopsis will cover one last detail about pre-exodus Moses that both Oahspe and the biblical scriptures emphasize. Both sources make it a point to portray that Moses was very insecure about speaking.

Moses was the product of 6 generations of loo’s-inspired unions; also adopted by an Egyptian Pharaoh, raised as Prince, and taught by men of great learning so that he “shall master all languages, and be capable of speaking with all My people.” Furthermore, as an adult, Moses spent 12 years as Egypt’s ambassador to 7 foreign tributary kingdoms; therefore, when Jehovih’s angels told Moses to speak with the new Pharaoh, Nu-ghan, it is surprising that Moses would respond with, “why hast Thou said this unto me? I have no argument in me, like other men? nor have I courage to face a man or woman. My tongue is slow to find words till after the opportunity.” In response to Moses’ insecurity, Jehovih, through His angels, said, “For that reason, My son, I can give thee My words. Go and fear not.”

The overlay, Moses' insecurity in scripture, provides the biblical scriptures’ detailed account of Moses’ insecurity.

Note: The Law of One, which as mentioned, alleges that the Orion Group tried to use Moses and the Israelites to establish an elite, provides additional information that may explain why Moses was perceived as insecure in speaking. It says that when Moses first began teaching the Israelites the tenets of the Law of One, which are the same as Faithism, Moses had “honor and faith”. Although Moses as an Orion contact was considered unsuccessful overall, which means Moses stayed true, Moses still lost much of the credibility and influence he once had and by the end of his life, his soul left the surface of the Earth in a “lessened or saddened state²².”

The journey of 2 Middle Eastern prophets²⁵

The Red Sea: According to Oahspe, the Israelites were in the desert for about 2 weeks before the Pharaoh came for them because “the Lord held his army in confusion” (regarding “the Lord”, Oahpse is likely referring a true Lord of Jehovih that resided over the region). The Pharaoh gathered “all the chariots of Egupt” and led his army in person. When the Israelites found out the Egyptians were after them, many of them were already tired and sore and complained to Moses that it would have been better for them to remain “in servitude to the Eguptians than to be slain.”

Moses rebuked them, reminded them that the definition of being a Faithist is to put their faith in Jehovih, and foretold them that he would use his rod to part the sea for them. When the Pharaoh’s army caught up with them, “Jehovih brought a strong wind and divided the waters of the sea” allowing the Israelites to cross while the Pharaoh’s army “were caught in the flood of the tide and drowned.” As a result, “Israel believed in Him (Jehovih) and in Moses, his servant.”

Pharaoh survives and establishes himself as “Savior of the World”: The Pharaoh survived the drowning in the Red Sea, returned to Egypt, and banished the false God, Osiris, in order to establish himself as “Savior of the World, and Vice Gerant of The Holy Ghost”. To solidify his new title, he set out to get desired versions of the creation stories and the exodus into the “king’s House of Records”, which per Egyptian law, were also sent out to all of the large cities of Egypt. For the creation stories, the Pharaoh Nu-ghan hired 3 Egyptian scribes/recorders, Akabtoh, Dueram, and Hazed, to use the creation stories from the Osirian Bible of Egupt (which are covered in more detail in Part 14). For the exodus, he hired an Egyptian writer named Feh-ya to write “The Exodus of the Hebrews”. This is how the story of the exodus of the Israelites was written by their “enemies”, the Egyptians. Nevertheless, according to Oahspe, the “testimony of the miracles is none the weaker.” For more details, see the section, the formation of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Israelites spend 4 years and 207 days in the desert

There is a significant difference in the level of detail provided by Oahspe’s description of events of the exodus compared to the level of detail provided by the biblical scriptures. Two potential explanations for this may be: (1) while Oahspe says the Israelites were in the desert for 4 years and 207 days, biblical scriptures say 40 years as a result of sin, doubt, and fear and (2) the biblical scriptures may have been intended to additionally provide “written law” for some of the adherents of the Abrahamic religions beginning between 500-300 BCE. In spite of this significant difference in level of detail, both sources cover 7 main events in some form or another:

Oahspe	Scriptures of Hebrew Bible
(1) Moses writes the “Song of the Sea”	same
(2) Israelites provided with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night	same
(3) Moses established rab’bah-led families with rites and ceremonies	Jethro helps Moses establish judges and only later are Aaron and his descendants chosen to be priests.
(4) New Commandments: although Moses taught the same commandments given to Abraham, Oahspe briefly mentions another set of commandments in the Book of Saphah.	Moses receives the Ten Commandments on stone tablets from Lord God on Mount Sinai
(5) Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant: An Egyptian woman is given the specifications, passes it onto Moses, and Moses has the structures built.	Moses receives the specifications from Lord God on Mount Sinai
(6) After abstaining from meat for a long period, the Israelites opted to eat meat and almost 60K died of food poisoning from quail	God punished the Israelites with a plague
(7) Moses makes the Levites camp apart because they were uncircumcised	‼️The Levites are set apart as well, but in a significantly different way and for different reasons

(1) Moses writes the “Song of the Sea”

Excerpts from Moses’ “Song of the Sea”²⁶

Moses’ “Song of the Sea” is an important prayer in one or more of the Abrahamic religions to this day, specifically some groups within Judaism. Both Oahspe’s and the biblical scriptures’ accounts of the Israelites’ time in the desert begins with “Moses made a song unto Jehovih” (or Lord in the scriptures) and how Moses’ sister, Miriam, sang it while the Israelite women danced. The lyrics in both sources are almost identical in that Eloih/Lord is called a warrior with whom destroyed their enemy, the Egyptians, and will help them take the land from the inhabitants of Palestina, the nobles of Edom, the warriors of Moab, and the “wild men of Kana’yan” (Canaan). This song, also known as the “Song of Moses”, is recited in Jewish morning prayers, part of weekly Torah readings, part of the Sabbath, and also part of the canon/rituals of Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and other Christian religions²⁷.

(2) Pillar of cloud by day, fire by night

Both Oahspe and the biblical scriptures describe a pillar of cloud above/ahead of the Israelites by day and a pillar of fire by night. Both sources mention this pillar first thing and emphasize that the pillar was always in the sky for all to see, including other nations. The scriptures call the pillar the “angel of the Lord²⁸”. Both sources mention a different type of cloud later that is specifically connected to the tabernacle (portable temple) and the Ark of the Covenant, covered in more detail below.

(3) Moses establishes rab’bah-led families

Crescent connecting the seen and unseen worlds²⁹

This is the first post-exodus event that is described quite differently in Oahspe compared to the biblical scriptures. Oahspe says that the angels of Jehovih guided Moses in establishing rab’bah-led families just like Abraham did 2,500 years prior. This was the way in which Faithists had always lived and also a way to prevent idolatry among the Israelites with whom needed to be taught that “Not Moses, nor the Heads, nor the rab’bahs, brought ye out of Egupt; ye were brought out by the Creator, Jehovih, Who is the God of all, Captain of all, Head of all, Rab’bah of all.”

Next, the angels of Jehovih guided Moses in the construction of a crescent so that Jehovih could give “the fullness of My law” to the rab’bah and Chief rab’bah, including the same commandments that He gave to Abraham (that were first given to Zarathustra, then Abraham, and now Moses, but also to the prophets in the other regions of the world such as Brahma and Capilya of India, Po and Chine of China, Eawatah of America, and so on). Oahpse says that when the crescent was complete,

…the light of Jehovih came upon Moses, and the books of the ancients were opened before him. And he administered emethachavah upon them; by the voice of Jehovih he re-established it; with all the rites and ceremonies as they are to this day.

The section, Rites of Emethachavah, describes the 5 degrees of the Rites of Emethachavah; Moses likely administered rites 1-3.

The Bible describes judges and priests rather than rab’bah-led families: The biblical scriptures do not mention Moses establishing families/communes headed by rab’bah and Chief rab’bah; the closest thing to it is when the scriptures describe Moses’ father-in-law, Jethro, telling Moses to select men who are capable, trustworthy, and fear God, and make them “judges of the people”. Moses taught the judges God’s decrees and instructions on how to live and behave. Moses “appointed them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens”, they handled all the cases so that only the difficult cases were escalated to Moses³⁰ (Exodus 18).

Regarding priests, the scriptures finally mention priests, but not until the Israelites make it to Mount Sinai and Moses begins communication with the same God/Lord from the burning bush. Instead of priests being the tribal patriarchs of the families like they were in Genesis, Aaron and his sons were chosen by God to be set aside as the “perpetual priesthood throughout their generations³¹“. Furthermore, instead of the priests being taught in the crescent by the light of Jehovih (Oahspe), Moses was told by God, on Mount Sinai (not mentioned in Oahspe), to construct the tent of meeting, tabernacle, and Ark of the Covenant (detailed later), and the priests were consecrated and taught whatever the God/Lord wanted them to know in the tent of meeting; the Bible does not specify what they were taught.

(4) The new commandments

After Oahspe’s main chapter about Moses describes a voice in a burning bush conversing with Moses, this chapter makes no mention of additional similar encounters. Yet, when Oahspe’s supplemental chapter, the “Book of Saphah“, describes Moses receiving a “new” set of commandments, which match the commandments provided by the biblical scriptures, the unusual circumstances around the entire situation indicate that Moses may have indeed reconvened with the same entity of the burning bush after the exodus. Oahspe’s Book of Saphah says, “For general behavior, Moses gave ten commands, which were not only made public but were incumbent on the commune fathers to teach orally to their respective families.”

The Law of One, which as mentioned, alleges that the Orion Group tried to use Moses to establish an elite, provide additional information about the “new” commandments explained in the overlay, Orion Group gave Moses the new commandments?.

Original commandments (paraphrased/overview)
(Originally taught to Zarathustra around 7000 BCE and then Abraham, Po, Brahma, and Eawatah around 4000 BCE).

1. Honor the 4 sacred moon days as the change of watch of the Gods and angels: the first night of the new moon is “mas” (mass), the “moon’s mas night for the spirits of the dead”.

2. The sabbath: labor for 6 days and worship on the 7th.

3. The 7 sins: vanity, tattling, worthlessness, lying, incurable wickedness, evil intentions for the sake of evil, and king/leadership (the overlay, 7 Deadly Sins/Tetracts, provides more details about the 7 sins that were first introduced after the great flood of 22000 BCE).

4. Baptism of children to consecrate them.

5. Reinforcement of the existing Faithist practice of circumcision of young males (first introduced about 57,000 years earlier).

6. To worship the Creator and disown other rulers, kings, queens, Lords, or Gods.

New Commandments
(Oahspe’s Book of Saphah mentions Moses receiving “new” commandments, but does not specify from whom. Scriptures say from Lord God on Mount Sinai.)

1. I AM the I AM that brought thee out of Egypt

2. Thou shalt have no Gods nor Lords but the I AM.

3. Thou shalt not make any image of the I AM out of anything that is in heaven above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters.

4. Thou shalt not speak My name in public, for I will not hold him guiltless that giveth it to idolators and lovers of evil.

5. Remember the sacred days and keep them holy. Six days shalt thou labor; but the seventh day is the Sa’abbadha.

6. Honor thy father and mother.

7. Thou shalt not kill (any living thing).

8. Thou shalt not steal; nor bear false witness; nor covet anything that is another’s.

What the biblical scriptures say about the Ten Commandments: The “Ten Commandments” in the biblical scriptures are almost identical to Oahspe’s “New Commandments” above on the right, but organized into 10 rather than 8 commandments and a bit more specific (i.e. like how the “jealous God” will punish offenders’ children to the 3rd and 4th generations³⁴). A more significant difference, however, is that while Oahspe’s new commandments above refer to “I AM”, the “Ten Commandments” that eventually made it into the biblical scriptures about a thousand years later (496 BCE) refer to “Lord thy God” (several hundred years after the exodus, the false Gods (1) inspire divided Israelites to anoint their first king and (2) inspire that king to change the commandments to say “Lord thy God” to please the nations/tribes that worshiped the false Gods Baal, Ashtaroth, Dagon, Haughak, etc.).

The biblical scriptures emphasize Mount Sinai and the “Book of the Covenant”: As early as Moses’ first conversation with the voice of the burning bush atop Mount Sinai, the Lord God told Moses they would meet again atop the same “mountain of God”, which would provide proof that it is indeed Lord God of the Israelites with them: “… And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain³⁴“. As foretold, in the third month after the exodus, the scriptures describe Moses meeting the voice, Lord God, atop Mount Sinai for the second time. Not only did Moses receive the new Ten Commandments, but Lord God reminded Moses that in return for what the Lord God did to Egypt to bring the Israelites to Himself, they must now do their part of the covenant:

Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation³⁵.
Exodus 19:5

The Lord God gave Moses the first set of specific laws the Israelites must obey, which included how to deal with Hebrew servants, rules for personal injuries, protection of property, social responsibility, laws of justice and mercy, sabbath law, and the 3 annual festivals. The Israelites agreed to obey “the Lord’s words and laws” and Moses “wrote down everything the Lord had said” in the “Book of the Covenant”³⁶.

(5) The Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant

Like the new commandments, Moses receiving instructions for how to build the tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant are mentioned only in Oahspe’s supplemental Book of Saphah, not in Oahspe’s main chapter on Moses. Also like the new commandments, the instructions are given under unusual circumstances. The Law of One, which as mentioned alleges that the Orion Group tried to use Moses to establish an elite, states that the “entire arrangement” was designed by “negative entities” (the Orion Group).

Below, Oahspe says that a Voice of a spirit gave the instructions to an Egyptian women who then passed them on to Moses; however, the biblical scriptures say that Moses received the instructions from Lord God directly atop Mount Sinai.

Oahspe’s version: Oahspe describes an Egyptian woman with su’is (clairaudient), named Koetha, alone in “the lodge” looking around at the “implements” (“remnants of shew-bread and basins, and the candlestick”) when “a Voice spake to her” and told her that she should tell Moses that the implements were sacred and should be hidden in the day because anyone with “spirit perception” could perceive them and obtain the sacred/secret signs and pass-words.

Koetha knew that if she told Moses and the Israelites what she heard from a spirit, they would accurse her as being one of the “multitude of seeresses that brought the plagues on Egypt”, so the spirit/Voice gave her the “signs and pass-words of the High Fathers, that they may also know that thou knowest.” Furthermore, the Voice told her that if she starts her statement to Moses with, “The I AM saith…”, that “Moses will wonder at thy speech” and believe her. The Voice then proceeded to tell her the instructions, in which she passed on to Moses, and Moses had workmen construct “a tabernacle (a model or image of a place of worship, a portable temple)” and a list of “sacred implements” to be kept within the tabernacle.

The last thing that Oahspe says about the Ark is that it functioned as “the corporeal base of the ark of bon, a locality in the etherean heaven, by which the light of the sacred heaven reached the earth to Moses and his people, in a pillar of cloud by day and of light by night.” The Law of One, which as mentioned, alleges that the Orion Group tried to use Moses to establish an elite, provides additional interesting information about the Ark of the Covenant in the overlay, Law of One on the Ark of the Covenant.

The biblical scriptures say that that Moses himself received the detailed instructions for how to build the Ark of the Covenant, the tabernacle (tent), etc. when Moses spent 40 days and 40 nights with Lord God atop Mount Sinai. After Lord God gave Moses the “tablets of the covenant law”, He told Moses to “Make this tabernacle and all its furnishings exactly like the pattern I will show you” and that not only would the “tablets of the covenant law” be stored in the ark, the tabernacle/tent would also “make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them⁴³.”

God proceeded to give Moses very detailed instructions, page after page, for how to construct an ark (the base of the chest), an “atonement cover” (the lid), and a cherubim at each end with their “wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover”, which was where the Lord God “will meet with you and give you all my commands for the Israelites⁴⁴.” Moses was also given very detailed instructions for how to build a table for the “bread of Presence”, a lamp stand and 7 lamps, a tabernacle (tent) with curtains, an alter for burnt offerings, and a courtyard around the tent.

Lastly, Lord God told Moses that “Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come⁴⁵“, which is the scriptures’ first indication that Aaron the Levite, and eventually the entire Tribe of Levi, would play a unique role in regard to the tabernacle and Ark.

(6) What the quail?

Kibrath-Hattaavah, the place of lusters⁴⁶

The next event that both Oahspe and the biblical scriptures cover is that much of the time the Israelites were in the desert, they abstained from eating meat. Oahspe explains that after the tabernacle was constructed, it became the location for “secret ceremonies” and part of these ceremonies “commanded vegetable diet for fathers, prophets, seers, and wanonas (trance subjects), and many of Koetha’s people followed their example” (meatless diets were optimal for those who can hear/see the unseen). The biblical scriptures, on the other hand, say the Israelites ate only sweet, flaky bread called manna because that is what the Lord God rained down for them from heaven⁴⁷.

In both sources, the Israelites decided to eat meat again. In Oahspe, the Israelites eventually doubted the benefit of the meatless diet; in the scriptures, the Israelites complained about missing the varied diets they had enjoyed in Egypt. Either way, the winds brought in a huge number of birds (quail) for the Israelites to feast on and while Oahspe says that almost 60,000 Israelites, “being unaccustomed to the diet”, “were taken with fever and died”, the biblical scriptures imply that God (or Yahweh) sent the birds as a plague to punish the Israelites for not listening and trusting their Lord God⁴⁸.

(7) The setting apart of the Levites

Both Oahspe and the biblical scriptures describe the setting apart of the Levites, but for very different reasons (initially anyway). For the subject of the Levites, this synopsis will first (1) present the biblical scriptures’ version, then (2) present Oahspe’s version, and finally, (3) describe how both the scriptures and Oahspe eventually come together in agreement about the setting apart of then Levites.

Levites in the biblical scriptures

At a high level, the biblical scriptures describe the Levites as being members of the Tribe of Levi, the tribe of Moses and Aaron, that were set apart from the rest of the Israelites in a good way due to (1) Aaron’s experience as the “mouth” of Moses⁵⁰ and (2) because the Levites proved themselves to be more obedient (they were the only Israelites willing to kill 3,000 of their own after idolizing the golden calf). The overlay, God sets apart Tribe of Levi, provides additional details about how God in the biblical scriptures sets apart the entire tribe of Levi from the rest of the Israelites as priests, servants of priests, and caretakers of the tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant.

Levites in Oahspe

Conversely, Oahspe does not mention the tribe of Levi; instead, the Levites started out as the 400,000 “other people” that accompanied the Israelites out of Egypt that were uncircumcised. “The Hebrews named them Levites, i.e., imperfect flesh” and they were made to “camp aside, and to not mix with the Israelites.” At first, they are described as “uncircumcised tribes of the ancients” with whom “obeyed (Moses) in all things” and always maintained that they were “the true descendants of Abraham.”

It was not long, however, before Moses seemingly realized that the uncircumcised group of people they referred to as the Levites actually consisted of 2 very different types of people: (1) descendants of Abraham with whom obeyed Moses in all things and (2) those “who are not eligible unto faith, being such as were called Leviticans, but not Leviticans in fact, but hangers-on who had followed the Israelites out of Egupt and who for the most part had no God, little judgment and no learning.”

Oahspe says that Moses decided that while those of the “inner temple of Jehovih” had always followed oral law, “in spoken words only”, “which no man else knoweth”, he needed to alternatively provide the Levites, those of the “outer temple”, with written laws, which he called “Levitican laws” (likely equivalent to what the biblical scriptures call “covenant law”).

Additional Information:
Oral law erroneously attributed to Moses
Tribes & circumcision emphasized only in biblical scriptures
Leviticans considered symbolic, not Tribe of Levi?
Ark & Leviticans impacted orthodox religious systems

Oahspe and the scriptures come together about the Levites

Although Oahspe’s main chapter about Moses describes the Levites as consisting of 2 very different types of people, each from opposite ends of the spiritual spectrum, Oahspe’s later chapter, the “Book of Saphah“, describes the Levites being set apart in a favorable way – just like in the biblical scriptures. It says that when Moses was old, he said the Levites felt like a “thorn pricking his side”. He prophesied that they would eventually “come to possess the country” and because they were never eligible “to the secret rite (Elohim)”, which included the secret/sacred name E-O-Ih, and were instead allowed to worship “the Lord their God”, they would eventually “substitute their Lord God for the Great I Am, the All Eloih”.

Moses’ prophecy eventually came true; the Levites were eventually set apart from the rest of the Israelites as priests, servants of priests, and caretakers of “God’s dwelling place” (the Ark of the Covenant within the tabernacle/tent).

The Oralites and Leviticans: By the 397th year after the Israelites escaped Egypt, around 1000 BCE, the “Faithists of Western Arabin’ya” totaled 6 million and although they still for the most part referred to themselves as Israelites, they were really divided into 2 branches: (1) Oralites and (2) Leviticans.

The Oralites are described by Oahspe as “those who lived under the oral law”, remained non-resistant, owned nothing, gave everything to the rab’bah for the public good, practiced love and harmony, worshipped Jehovih under the name E-O-Ih, and practiced secret and only spoken doctrines and teachings. By this time, “All prophets and seers were born of the Oralites.”

The Leviticans as those that “were called Leviticans, that is hangers on, and of imperfect flesh and spirit”, they followed written law (called “Levitican Laws” in Oahspe and “covenant law” in the biblical scriptures), and “were not scrupulous as regardeth war and preservation of their seed”, so they gained in numbers quickly and in no time, they far outnumbered the Oralites.

Oahpse adds that the “spiritual power” of the Oralites was so great that for almost 400 years, they were able to retain their “multitude of communities” and live “without a king or governor”. The “Leviticans’ examples were evil”, however, and “in consequence of their sins they brought great shame upon the Faithists in general.”

400-year overthrow of the “holy doctrine of Moses”

Israelites anointed their first-ever king: Oahspe says that in the 397th year after the Israelites left Egypt, they totaled 6 million and “lived without a corporeal king, or other government, save (except) the community of the fathers”; however, in the 397th year, “the Gods Baal and Ashtaroth triumphed, through their familiar spirits, and caused Israelites to anoint a king to rule over them. This king was called Saul, signifying Of the Lord God.”

As mentioned earlier in this page, around 1700 BCE, 300 years before the birth of Moses, the false Gods, Baal and Ashtaroth, inspired non-spiritual women from Canaan to marry into the Israelite communities and bring with them familiar spirits that were loyal to the false Gods. Oahspe says that “it came to pass that when the half-breed children were grown up, having Canaan mothers, they began to murmur against the peace policy of the Israelites.”

As other people have kings and emperors, why not we? As other people raise up soldiers, declare war, and go forth possessing themselves of lands and cattle, why do not we?

The same familiar spirits then inspired Saul to replace the “I Am” in the new commandments with “Lord thy God” as a conciliatory strategy to please the nations and tribes who worshiped “Baal, Dagon, Ashtaroth, Haughak, and other Gods and Lords of the lower heavens” (false Gods).

Mainstream biblical history, specifically in Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus, Kings, and Ezekiel, corroborates that the Israelites, “God’s chosen people,” persistently struggled with the idol worship of 2 specific false Gods, Baal and Asherah. Surrounding peoples, including the Phoenicians and Canaanites, worshipped this sun/storm God and the moon goddess, and somehow, the religious rites that were part of the worship of these 2 Gods provided status and pleasure and some Israelites were tempted to partake⁵⁹.

400-year overthrow of the “holy doctrine of Moses” began: When some of the Israelites stopped worshiping an “inconceivable entity, Whose Form and Extent no man could attain to know” and began worshiping a God that was “in the form of a man that resided in the firmament of heaven”, it “made the Great Spirit merely an idol; thus they began the overthrow of the holy doctrine of Moses.”

After the Israelites became divided between “those of the king and those of the E-O-Ih, the prophets”; it “placed them at a disadvantage before neighboring tribes and nations” who eventually “made war against the Israelites on all sides.” By the 409th year after the exodus, the “entire Peace Policy and Non-resistance of the Mosaic Inspiration was overthrown” and many of the “Israelites became warriors, and even warred against one another.

College of Prophets was established: Jerub, “the etherean angel in command”, with the intern of “preserv(ing) the old tenats”, inspired a mortal named Samuel to establish a college of prophets in a region known as Naioth. For the next 70 years, “the inspired” congregated there and from their crescent Table, they “made prophecies from etherea for a period of seventy years.” Jerub was the same etherean angel that tried to “counteract the labors of Baal and Ashtaorth” 700 years earlier when the false Gods inspired Canaan women to marry Israelite men.

Oahspe’s first prophecy from the college of prophets occurred some time before 920 BCE by Ahijah when he “foretold the coming captivity of the Israelites as a consequence of their idolatry.” Later, Oahspe mentions that in 787 BCE, the college of prophets raised up Jonah, Amos, and Hosea.

Prophet Elijah proves Jehovih’s power and ends drought: In 920 BCE, Elijah was raised up from the college of prophets to go forth “amongst the heathen” to preach about the existence of Jehovih as opposed to the Lord God. He worked “under the inspiration of the angel Jerub.” He was challenged by King Ahab who worshipped Baal that Jehovih was a Master with “neither eyes nor ears, knowing nothing, like the wind”, “foolish, and without intelligent answer to thy prayers.” The overlay, Elijah, describes how first Elijah entered a tournament with King Ahab and proved that Jehovih was more powerful than Baal, Ashtaroth, and Dagon and second, he brought rain that ended a long drought (which is also described in the biblical scripture 1 Kings:18⁶²).

Eventual overthrow of kingdoms of Israel: For the remaining events of the 400-year overthrow of the doctrines of Moses, in 930 BCE, Israel disagreed about who should be their 4th king and the kingdom was divided into the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah (aka House of David). In 722 BCE, Assyrians conquered and dissolved the northern kingdom of Israel, which made the southern kingdom of Judah the only remaining region of intact Israelite communities. In 591 BCE, the king of the southern kingdom, Manasseh, “established idol worship”; outlawed the worship of Jehovih; and executed the a prophet named Isaac. Lastly, in 586 BCE, Babylonians conquered and occupied the southern kingdom for the next 70 years.

Oahspe says that after the “kingdoms of Israel perished, and they became a scattered people, and fell into bondage again,” for the 300 years that followed, likely from 590-290 BCE, “the only Faithists amongst the Israelites were the prophets, and the followers of the prophets, who had never affiliated with those of the kingdoms and armies.” Oahspe adds that while the “Faithists proper were a small minority, and scattered in many lands,” the “rest were called Jews, lived under written laws and ceremonies, which were compiled and established by Ezra, in Jerusalem” in a “combination of books called the Bible,” which was completed in 496 BCE (see Evolution of the Hebrew Bible for more info).

Regarding the word, “Jew”: According to rabbi Ernest Klein’s dictionary, the Hebrew translation of “Jew” is “Yehudi” and it meant “members of the tribe/Kingdom of Judah.” However, after 722 BCE when the Assyrians dissolved the northern Kingdom of Israel, which made the southern Kingdom of Judah the only remaining region of intact Israelite communities, the Hebrew word, Yehudi, started to be used to refer to all Israelites and came to denote Jew, Jewish, Judaic, Chueta, and Yiddish⁶³.

At the end of Oahspe’s chapter on Moses, Oahspe says that by the time that Moses and the Israelites reached Shakelmarath, which took 4 years and 207 days, Moses was 44 years old by the Hebrew sun and 88 years old by the Egyptian calendar. Oahspe concludes that “of all that Moses did, and taught, and how he labored with his own hands, many books might be written. And it is doubtful if the world ever produced so good and great a man.”

The Law of One, which as mentioned, alleges that the Orion Group tried to use Moses to establish an elite, said about the end of Moses’ life, his soul left the surface of Earth in a “lessened or saddened state” because he (1) “did not remain a credible influence among those who had first heard” his teachings and (2) had “lost the honor and faith with which he had when he began the conceptualization of the law of one” (teaching of true Faithism) “and the freeing of those who were of his tribes.⁶⁴”

Oahspe concludes the cycle of Moses, Chine, and Capilya by saying that after the Earth traveled through the 400 years of light, the “Arc of Bon”, Earth entered a region of darkness and the Israelites of Egypt, as well as the Brahmins of India and the Zarathustrians throughout the world, “forsook the higher light, Jehovih, and established kings and rulers, like other nations.”
