10 _Abraham offereth Isaac._
GEN. xxii. 10-12.
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay
his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven,
and said, Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here am I. And he said,
Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him;
for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld
thy son, thine only son from me.

11 _Joseph is cast into the pit._
GEN. xxxvii. 23, 24.
And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that
they stripped Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours,
that was on him. And they took him, and cast him into a pit; and
the pit was empty, and there was no water to it.

12 _Joseph tempted by Potaphar’s Wife._
GEN. xxxix. 7, 10, 12.
And it came to pass after these things, that his master’s wife cast
her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. And it came to
pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that he hearkened not unto
her, to lie with her, or to be with her. And she caught him by his
garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand,
and fled, and got him out.

13 _The finding of Moses._
EXOD. ii. 5, 6.
And the daughter of Pharaoh came down to wash herself at the river;
and her maidens walked along by the river’s side: and when she
saw the ark among the flags, she sent her maid to fetch it. And
when she had opened it, she saw the child: and, behold, the babe
wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the
Hebrew’s children.

14 _Moses smiteth the rock._
EXOD. xvii. 5, 6.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take
with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou
smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. Behold, I will stand
before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the
rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may
drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

15 _Moses receiveth the Tables._
EXOD. xxxiv. 1, 4.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like
unto the first; and I will write upon these tables the words that
were in the first tables, which thou brakest. And he hewed two
tables of stone, like unto the first: and Moses rose up early
in the morning, and went up into Mount Sinai, as the Lord had
commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

16 _Jericho compassed._
JOSH. vi. 12, 13.
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the
ark of the Lord. And seven priests, bearing seven trumpets of rams’
horns before the ark of the Lord, went on continually, and blew
with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the
reward came after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and
blowing with the trumpets.
