Passage 1: William David carried the bundle of sticks back toward the settlement,
The winter wind cut through his clothes, but at least his family would
be able to light a fire. Certainly, this new life was hard, but they were
free. The comforts of their old home were merely distractions from
their devotion to a pure, godly life. In this new land, his people could
live and worship as they chose.
Passage 2:
Naphtali helped the herders with the goats while his sisters helped
pack up the tent and all their belongings. This valley had been his
home for 14 years, but it was no longer safe. Invaders from the north
were taking over the land. His people had to move or face slavery. The
journey would be difficult, and they did not know where they would end
up. But their freedom was more important than their location.
